I’ve enjoyed bandcamp’s writeups. They seem to be written by real people.
I also sometimes peruse the “who else bought my favorite album this month?” listing. Find some gems and wild cards there.
Comment on Has anyone noticed these new spam techniques used by music channels on youtube?

And if anyone wants to discover music, get a scrobbler for a good music network. By design, algorithms pigeonhole. That’s just how math works. You need the tried and true method of community sharing and (most) scrobblers are, essentially, a modern take on “word of mouth”. Music has only ever been best discovered and broadened to listeners when recommended from other explorers.
