> random popups

that's the whole point, I wasn't seeking any suggestions

on top of that, the artists "suggested" were not relevant at all

It says right in the popup they're suggesting artists based on who you've listened to, so it is relevant based on the number crunching they've done from millions of listeners and billions of datapoints.

To be frank, that's indicative of a gulf between what the user wants from the product, and how the provider views the user.

User: This item isn't relevant for me.

Provider: Yes it is.

See the problem? :)
