on discovery, at some point they turned tag pages from paginated into endlessly scrolling kind, and that's been one of the worst thing one could do for discovery. no longer can you actually browse the catalog top to bottom, you're forced to scroll and start from the top every time. oddly enough, there's still pagination in the Discover section of front page, but it only goes back 200 pages, which really isn't that much (those 200 pages might only go back a day/a month/a year, depending on how active a tag is). for how much music there is, the discovery tools are kinda lacking. you can't really browse the full catalog. especially for stuff that's previously released, but not "popular enough" to be surfaced in 'best selling' sorts. stuff that doesn't make it into 'new' - which can literally be like 'oh, this released a week ago? it's not new already', and doesn't make it into 'best selling' that really only makes already popular stuff more popular, which isn't doing much for actual discovery of others. there's a lot of music that's out there and just yet to be discovered, and it's being held back by platforms that don't really do anything with it. held back by a catalog that lacks browsing tools and doesn't get more things brought to surface. i'd rather see platforms move on from 'making popular stuff more popular' and 'only ever showing stuff that's new new new', and make an actual effort to make all things discoverable.
