Interesting. Spotify works almost perfectly for my discovery needs. I just pick a track I know that fits my mood, then use the (3-dot menu) "Go to Radio" option, which leads to a playlist that usually includes tracks and/or artists new to me. It's been a reliable discovery mechanism for me for many years. Also, there's a new feature I first saw within the last week, a "non-personalized" option that increases the "new to me" ratio.
Hmm, just tried the non-personalized option for the first time. Is it a reflection on me that I may prefer it over "personalized"?
the "you might also like" for a given artist is usually the most generic related artists - for anything remotely related you'll get basically the same list which is the middle of the venn diagram of everyone who listens to them
