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.


Can’t believe I haven’t seen SoundCloud mentioned. They play ads every couple songs but I listen to 1-2 hour edm mixes so it’s actually not bad. They have a couple recommended playlists based on recent songs you’ve liked. Not every song lands, but there are great indie songs and remixes and stuff out there you can find.
