I gave up on iTunes after realizing how aggressively and poorly it matches your library against its catalog. I remember times when I intentionally deleted a "match" and when the scan was triggered again it would erase my copy again. I thought there was something I was doing incorrectly since I couldn't find much online about it. Google Play Music was the last true third party hosted solution, in my opinion. YouTube Music allows you to upload files but segregates your uploads from the YouTube Library for recommendations and smart playlists. I haven't found a great "smart recommendation" service for self hosted files.
