"Stop listening to that crap, here's some real music!" ๐Ÿคฃ

Then again, I'm old, and I don't understand why you'd want a computer program to tell you what music you might like ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I was never a fan of a computer telling me what i might like. But i'm listening to music for 6 to 10 hours every single day for decades now. I can't contain my music knowledge anymore, and to not get bored i need some: if youblike this you might like that. But also they are very wrong 99% of the time. But i still crave that 1% that is a banger and might have never found.

Discovering a new artist or album is great.
Tidals personalised daily discovery and weekly new releases are fantastic for this, much better than anything I can remember on spotify. Their "mixes for you" are also decent.
I haven't tried qobuz yet

Haha yeah, maybe Qobuz was hinting that my taste in music is trash! I do appreciate the occasional Johnny Cash though, just not mixed in with my deep house!

As for the recommendations algorithms... You no longer have to read artist bios/interviews or suffer through radio programs, instead you effortlessly get a list of recommended tracks based on whatever song or playlist you specify. It works so well that I don't really follow any artists these days and currently all my top 30 tracks are by artists I didn't know existed two months ago. It also allows you to deep dive into new and obscure subgenres with basically no effort.
