I love Spotify's Discover Weekly, but my reaction to its latest feature is lukewarm The auto-generated playlist was launched 10 years ago to much fanfare, but is it losing sight of what made it great?

Wrote something for the top lads at @whathifi.bsky.social about how 10 years of Spotify's Discover Weekly has changed my musical landscape (and cost me a fortune in gig tickets).

If it's wrong to eat a kiwi fruit with the skin on rather than with a spoon (aka boiled egg style), why does it feel so right?
