Spotify is now gatekeeping new music to Premium subscribers, but the blame lies elsewhere (Updated)

Makes sense. Tidal's UI/UX definitely isn't as nice.
I'm using my Plex server with Plexamp and CDs I've ripped. I don't listen to a lot of newer music, so discovery isn't as important. I use the free version of Google Play Music for discovery sometimes, but there's a huge amount of AI slop.
