Deep dives
Spotify's Journey from Curation to Recommendation
Spotify started as a curation service, where users created playlists to organize and share music. This led to the generation of a vast amount of data about what songs go well together. Spotify realized the power of this data and invested in recommendation algorithms to enhance the user experience. Over time, recommendation became the core promise of Spotify, shifting the focus from curation to personalization. The use of machine learning and AI allowed Spotify to understand user preferences better and provide precise recommendations, adding value to their product in a competitive market.
