I used to discover a lot of new music on Youtube, actually.
If you watched a music video you liked, the algorithm recommended related stuff, but also threw you a curveball with <1000 views once in a while.
I stumbled upon a lot of great bands that way.

But nowadays, 3 videos in it’ll all be AI slop, so I’m open to new ideas and willing to pay for a service, too.

    I go through my kids’ playlists.

    I ask friends and family to make me mix CDs instead of giving gifts.

    I listen to local independent radio (Chirp in my case).

    I carpool with coworkers sometimes and have them run the aux.

    I ask people to tell me what their favorite song is.

    I go to concerts early enough to see the opening acts, even if I’ve never heard of them.

    And I participate in threads like this.
