You're not forced to. You get a bunch of different tools in any platform with different degrees of curation. In spotify the most automated ones are Discover Weekly, radios for any track/artist, and daily mixes. You also get playlists made by other people (sometimes hard to find), but the browse section is never curated for you, it just has fixed playlists there. I have discovered orders of magnitude more music since streaming hit the scene. And I'm fairly sure spotify's competitors also give you the same kind of options with different degrees of curation (if that is a word). If what you are asking for is "I want a magic DJ that solves all of my listening habits" then I think no app will do that.
