Apple Music or Spotify? what do you use and why? (programming.dev)

Just wondering out here, cause Im really torn between these two. With Spotify family and Apple One I use both alternately and in both Im missing some parts that the other one have.

for Apple Music I mostly lack good new songs suggestion algorithm, because it very often just plays me a song that I would never ever listen to - and that's based on "continue playing" from current playlist.
for Spotify I lack Losseless and Spatialise.

in terms of UI, both are somewhat not great

Apple Music is cumbersome and hard to navigate to song that is currently playing.
Spotify is just too much noise on the screen for me

What are your thoughts?

Apple Music because it doesn’t shove podcasts down my throat. I also prefer the algorithm on Apple Music over Spotify. Spotify is too safe by only recommending music that I already like, while I have discovered new genres that I now love from using Apple Music. Spotify is just too repetitive in my experience. I do miss the Discover Weekly playlist though. That was the one thing that helped me discover new music on Spotify.
