The premise of this is kind of silly. Streaming services don't require that you listen to their mixes. You absolutely can just listen to whole albums or make your own lists. You absolutely can independently search up specific new artists to explore.
Personally, I've found a huge amount of music I probably wouldn't be aware of otherwise because it'll start playing similar things when an album finishes. You don't have to just passively let it run through them either. Often I'll hear a song a couple of times and seek out the artist's entire discography.
I really don't get this take at all.
