I voted Spotify for the best. I've discovered some really great artists I otherwise probably wouldn't have heard of based on their suggestions. Can't really say the same for any other services. 

You didn't ask, but I'll also vote Fubo for the worst. It's crazy how often it recommends a bunch of nonsense I have no interest in on the home screen. Like, it could be the day of the Super Bowl and the first eight things that show up will be Romanian soccer.  

 
Most accurate is our house is probably Netflix. It constantly suggests Cocomelon and that's usually a good guess. You'd think Disney would be better at predicting what we'll watch - just show the last three movies we've watched because chances are my kids will want to watch those again. Heck, just pin Encanto and Ice Age and I'm probably covered. 

 
The FBG forum algorithm with the near-full screen dropdown.  While you are reading something, here are a hundred other things to consider.

 
Spotify used to crush it every week for me- I've found so much new and old music, lots of it this old music nerd had never heard of.. even stuff squarely in my wheelhouse.

Lately, it's been really wrong way too much. Hey Spotify- I know I like Dead Can Dance... but giving me their last live album EVERY SINGLE WEEK on my release radar (since last fall)- not really a radar thing. And not sure where you got that Turkish techno trance crap... but no gracias. And I like hip-hop fine, but why is half of my weekly RR playlist hiphop when I like guitars and stupid post punk or garage. the stupider the better. you know this. and yet it's DcD, Turkish Techno and hophop.

 
I don’t really have an opinion on who has the best algorithm, but music sites should have much more data to work with. I would imagine most people give a thumbs up or down to at least 20 songs for every one TV show or movie.

Yes, because if you don't thumbs down certain songs/artists enough they will continue to appear on your suggested songs.

Because that's all they're putting out these days. Guitars are dead. 

I think I was kidding. 

Then I wasn't. 

Oof. Don't get me wrong, I love hip hop, but not at the expense of children and young adults not learning how to play guitar. 

:(

On a serious note, I find that Spotify and YouTube have the best algorithm. Netflix has no clue what I want to watch. Probably because I never watch anything. But its recommendations are generally bad. 

And Fullback Fro's is probably tops if we're willing to grant a little license on that "serious note" I was trying to cop.
