I've been looking for a way to discover new music. Spotify used to be quite good, but now I feel like 10% of the stuff it recommends me is AI slop.

How do you navigate the music-scape?

YT music is way better than Spotify. But some AI stuff is reccomeded .I haven't used Spotify in probably almost a decade. I used to use Play music back in the day and got in the habit of downloading albums and uploading them I used a different service since google nuked play music and revived in as yt music.

But downloading and building your own music library you cultivate is the only way to vett music sources and ensure you aren't listening to slop

Google play music was awesome. YT music sucks ass. I do miss Grooveshark tremendously.

Im starting to build a library of albums again, like I used to have ages ago

Spotify isn't owned by one of the tech monopolies. And it's European.
