Updated numerous things to account for the way Spotify classifies genres, a key tenant for how this site functions. Previously Spotify had 6k+ genre classifications (can go to everynoise.com for that info), now Spotify genre classifications appear to centralized around fewer, more general genres; something in the 1-2k range. As a result, some genres barely have any artists tagged to them which is reflected on the genre pages here. This shouldn't change anything with the user-experience, more a fyi for those into genre-based discovery.

Lots of behind the scenes updates:
- improved site stability and made changes to reduce the impact of disruptive bot traffic
- numerous algorithm updates to playlist matching and the playlist sampler which will hopefully result in better results. Thanks to the users who contributed feedback for some of these things.
- removed artist and track text searches. If you want to find a playlist that contain a specific track just create a playlist with only that track and 'find similar' from the page
- subgenre and subreddit data has been refreshed. Tweaked those algorithms
- general front-end fixes

October 2024
Playlist sampler wasn't working for the past few weeks due to some authentication changes, it's back now.

April 2024
Artist links on genre, subreddit and playlist summary pages will now link directly to top playlists for the artist. Previous database search by name was super slow.

Also I've refreshed subreddit summaries with some algorithm tweaks and added some backend stuff.
