When I had Spotify I always heard the same stuff and when I invariably got tired of that same stuff and wanted to expand my tastes, I had a hard time finding stuff I liked.
For all the hate YouTube gets I much prefer it now, not a day goes by where something new (that I actually like enough not to skip) appears in my supermix.
