That’s slowly being replaced with “AI content”, Spotify is literally becoming more shot by the day.
I don’t really use it myself, but you can scrobble to services like last.fm and get recommendations that way.
And if you want to sponsor your favorite artists, just go to their concerts or buy some music or merch. You’re paying them way more that way than your plays on streaming platforms ever will.

Is it though? Seems like their algorithm gives everyone the same shit.

You can donate to the ones who deserve it and still have access to the drm free music locally

Tell me you don’t know how Qbittorrent works without doing so. It’s not a streaming service. If you’re redownloading on BT each time you want to listen, my god, are you wasting disk space.

You know what I meant, don’t deliberately misunderstand.
