I feel like I'm experiencing a golden age of music. Not a week goes by that I don't find something new or something forgotten that quickly becomes part of my ever growing daily playlist. From Magdalena Bay to The Queers I haven't found this much good music since the days of WinMX and AudioGalaxy.
That said, I stay far away from "hot" or "trending" over the last 12 months since I paid for ytmusic I can count on one hand the tracks I found in those sections that I didn't immediately want to turn off. Yet that blemish aside I absolutely love ytmusic engine, it does an absolutely stellar job of ensuring the next autoplay or related track is something I want to hear or might want to hear. I used Tidal for 6 months prior and before that, for years, Spotify and it's really no comparison in that department.
