Deleting and restarting Apple Music - I give up!

Question

Deleting and restarting Apple Music - I give up!

My Apple algorithm has gone totally rogue and continues to play music completely out of my taste. Thus far I have tried:

Liking / disliking tracks
Deleting my Apple Music profile and re-creating it
Removing similar music from my library

I'm really fed up with this as Spotify seem to know exactly who I am, but I can't use it on Homepod without Airplaying (before someone jumps in with that idea).

I'd like to delete / reset my Apple Music account and reset it entirely.

It can’t add music to your own playlists. Do you create your own? If you do that then you are in control of what songs are added. If you’re using the Apple Music “Made For You” playlist it might not be to your liking.

As to HomePod it doesn’t refresh a playlist you’ve deleted songs from. I delete songs I hate and it keeps playing them

You can’t really reset it, it’s using your iCloud account. Try turning off Listening History

On your iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings > Music and turn off Use Listening History.

I've tried that (and left it off for several months). But Apple still keeps running genres through my playlists that I would never (or would have ever) listen to.
