Flow is not working properly and completely ignores local music...

Hi, I’ve been having a pretty serious problem with Deezer and its Flow feature for some time now. It used to work brilliantly, but this year, especially since Flow was heavily expanded (in my opinion, unnecessarily so) with the ability to fine-tune your music taste both for the general Flow and for individual moods, it has started working very poorly.

The biggest problem is that Flow has completely eliminated Polish music from my recommendations, even though I have Poland selected as my country in the settings and there is plenty of music by Polish artists in my playlists and liked tracks. The algorithm simply doesn’t seem to learn anything. Even though I’ve been manually playing Polish songs myself, Flow still doesn’t recommend them on its own.

On top of that, the excessive complexity of the new Flow customization system means that the music it recommends now generally matches my musical taste much worse than it used to — even putting aside the complete lack of Polish tracks.

If nothing changes in this regard in the near future, then despite being a loyal Deezer fan for many years, I’ll have no choice but to switch to a competing services...

Unfortunately, this didn't help at all.

Additionally, I added more than a dozen Polish artists to my favourites. At the moment, my favourite artists list contains only Polish bands and artists — no foreign ones at all. This is because until now I had never really added entire bands or artists to my favourites, only individual songs.

I also added more than a dozen songs to my favourites, all of them Polish.

None of this changed anything. Deezer Flow still doesn't suggest a single Polish song or artist, not even any of the ones I have just added to my favourites. At the same time, it occasionally plays songs from my favourites that are foreign.

I then performed a final test and skipped approximately 150–200 tracks in Flow. Still, not a single one of them was Polish, even though on average every 6–7 tracks, Flow played one from my favourites — but never a Polish one…

To be honest, I don't know if there's anything else that can be done about this. This situation has already been going on for several months, and basically, if nothing changes in the near future, I will be forced to switch to Spotify. :(
