I've yet to discover an artist that consistently puts out good music so I'm hunting for individual good tracks from different artists instead. I find that YouTube is pretty good at recommending those. I search for a song I like and then go by the recommendations. I even canceled my Spotify subscribtion because I find that YouTube is better at recommending me music I actually like.

Also - and this is going to be really unpopular - I've gotten into AI generated music lately and I must say that when it comes to instrumental especially it's on average better than human artitsts. I've yet to find a true gem made by AI but I like to have a playlist of Progressive Jazz House or similar on the background and many of the playlists consisting of 100% AI generated tracks are consistently good where as with human made ones it tends to be a ton of absolute crap and few decent ones in between.
