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.
spotify discover weekly. its been so finely tuned over the years that 90% of them are at least put in my liked playlist, and maybe 50% into my favorites playlist
i used to follow this “greatest _____ album” tournement thing on facebook, but stopped doing that because i dont use facebook anymore
you can also do the 1001albumsgenerator, which will give you a random album a day from the book “1001 albums you must hear before you die”
