I put it down to the perhaps fanciful idea that it is not designed to recommend really, it is instead intended to successfully imitate one of those people who say things "You like music, then you must like such and such" or "you play a musical instrument!? So does my neighbor's cousin, you should meet them and form a band!"

Their DW algorithm is on a roll right now, at least for me.

It's a shame that Spotify only looks at actual listened, I really liked Deezer where you can specifically mark favourite artists and songs (which their heuristics then takes into account). I marked about 100 of my favourite artists and immediately their recommendations were spot on. If I want that info into Spotify I'd have make a playlist with those 100 artists and play that on repeat at night or something.
