This post was originally going to be titled “How does music discovery on Apple Music compare to Spotify these days?” but I want to make it more broad.

All advice and ideas appreciated!

    Spotify radio is usually spot on and very close to what I like.

    Nother way I use, is through music reaction videos.

      Right, Discover has been my main vehicle for finding music for years. Spotify definitely does have a great algo for suggestions.

      Reaction videos is actually a good call. I found Hi Ren last week that way, and while it isn’t really a casual listener, per se, I did think it was really compelling. My issue with the react videos generally is they feel ‘acted’ a lot of the time because YouTube loves to rabbit hole people into those. Good way to make a buck at the moment

        Yes, the reaction scene is a bit weird, but I like @tanktheteck in particular, since I have similar tastes to him.
