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.

    Used to be from friends.

    Then it was Spotify since it had a good recommendation system (it doesn’t anymore) based on what I already liked.

    Now it’s mostly the “what am I listening to” app on my phone while watching meme videos and what people share on Lemmy. All the music sharing communities here have pretty good taste.
