See my other reply to tofu. Not the same thing. You just couldn't do what these services do even 2 decades ago. You could discover things, but at a very different pace and very different reach. You're limited to discover what friends know from them. Discovering things via "press" isn't free either, it takes time to read the articles, buy the magazines (do they still exists?) and you're likely to only hear about popular things. You also need to find publications that suit your own taste, or learn which authors are compatible with it.
As for concerts you can only go to those that are near you, which is either local artists or those big enough to tour away from their home base. There are artists that don't tour at all (probably a third of my catalog falls into this category).
I don't know about you but this is so fun for me it bring me joy and fulfillment as opposed to being fed by algorithm
It's the opposite for me. I don't want to read about music. I just want to listen to music that I don't know yet but am likely to like. I don't want to dig around for it. The algorithms you dislike do something that no article or podcast can: give me personally tailored recommendations. She not in an abstract way but just as a playlist.
An algorithm has zero concept of artistic quality . I also want to always extends my taste and not the opposite
I'm aware it has no concept of artistic quality. But I also don't care about the quality of music, especially if perceived by some journalist. I only care if I like music. Some of it is intricately composed, masterfully performed. Some is pop, or generic/simple house.
I have discovered entire genres with the algorithms you seem to think only give narrowing recommendations. Some people probably listened to those and something I liked.
Let me repeat again: I have discovered many, many artists for me that I literally would have no realistic chance of every hearing about in any other way. Ever!
The concept of artistic quality is simply subjective. I don't think intricately composed music or complex music make a song artistically better. To me a quality song artistically song is simply and enjoyable and impactful song. My definition of impactful is wide too it make me a song with really serious subject matter or simply a funny simple song that could me feel better mentally .
While i enjoy an journalist talking about a song and album it doesn't mean i will trust his opinion but i prefer that than an non human telling me what it think is music i would enjoy. Someone may talk negatively about a music and explain why he hate it and i may find the think he hated is what will make me enjoy the song he dislike
I read Bandcamp daily to know about some obscure genre . It is again just my preference, i will always prefer human recommendation
Same but without relying on an algorithm
