Yeah, I used to use Spotify for discovery when the radio function acted like...radio. Now it's just a 30 track playlist on loop generated based on things you have liked. So absolutely fucking pointless for discovery.
I am SCREAMING OUT for a service that was like the old Spotify radio.
Currently just going to gigs again and finding bands through bandcamp the organic way is what I'm doing.
Also, here is a script I wrote to download and extract a Bandcamp download link and import it with the beet CLI music library manager:

I then use Navidrome (modern Subsonic replacement) to serve it up:
