In contrast to other commenters, I loved manually curated Apple Music playlists, I found so much great music through them in first 6 months of using their service. You could really feel that they were created by people with real passion for underground and experimental music, on par with best user-curated Spotify playlists. When they switched to algorithm based recommendations its quality tanked and I moved back to Spotify because it has better overall user experience on desktop and social features. Spotify's algorithms has never, ever introduced me to interesting new artist, it only suggest to me things that I either already know and like, already know and dislike or new things that pretend to be good but there is no original though behind them. Fortunately, a lot of independent music critics and enthusiasts have their own playlists with good, deep cuts - but you need to find them outside of Spotify, because their discovery features are so bad. I miss early Apple Music so, so much. It reminded me of prime years of Last.fm.
