That in itself could be interesting, if they fit in with what I normally listen to at all. But they DON'T and it's just annoying. What gives, Deezer? Do they think I must have an interest in basic Russian rock due to my geographical location? Are they paid off to promote these tracks?! I've definitely given no cause for this with my listening habits. :|
YouTube keeps recommending Pokemon videos even though I have never watched a Pokemon video. So either the algorithm concluded that since I watch videos about animals, math, and "strategy games" (only EU4, but they've been pushing that whole category forever), I must like Pokemon and won't give up trying to convince me of it, which is annoying as fuck, or Google knows I am friends with Tess, which is downright creepy.
Even worse, Google News won't stop giving me news about Amy Schumer's pregnancy even though I keep not clicking and telling it "fewer stories like this." I assume it's because I watch
