I’ve tried every music streaming service out there with their premium subscriptions and they’re really not that different. After a month of usage they all loop the same songs over and over again. It seems YouTube also adopted this because it’s been recommending me the same things over and over and over.

Tidal has new music playlists straight from Tidal and they're genre specific, which is quite different from Spotify. They're in a set place within Tidal, so you don't have to search for the new playlists either.

The sad thing is that it appears a lot of people only like listening to music that they already know. Out of the people I know, I'm the only one that hates listening to the same songs over and over again. I wonder if that's why many people only seem to like music from their teenage/young adult days 🤔
