I have to agree, Spotify is terrible for music discovery. They load up a lot of AI music, which lacks the "substance" of a real artist who may have a story, a career, a personality... all the human qualities that are important to art. No matter the quality, AI music is like elevator music in that regard; anonymous and empty.

I think there is certainly also something to the hyper-availability problem, where a great preponderance of music is simultaneously available everywhere. But I think the degradation of the streaming product itself is what makes it inferior to radio.
