Keep getting recommended random songs I don’t like in the middle of my playlists….. help

Is this mandatory now? It’s not even music I might like based on my liked songs, it’s just random trendy songs being force-fed to me.

I have “autoplay similar content” toggled off in the playback settings and it still keeps happening. When I hide the song and move onto the next in my playlists, it keeps coming back the next day.

For the love of god please help me, I’m tired of getting Taylor Swift’s new slop and the same receptive K-POP demon hunters song.
