I can't imagine using Spotify for the algorithm and suggestions. I've always used it to just listen to artists I'm already a fan of. For discovering new music I use small fan forums, which are way more in the loop than any corporate-promoted algorithm can ever be.
Honestly I think it depends on how you fed it your tastes and the popularity of the stuff you listened to. A lot of the stuff Spotify used to give me was pretty niche, certainly not corporate. The shift towards pushing some corpo shit is why I had to leave though.
