YouTube Music Discovery Sucks

As a refuge of Pandora I am apparently spoiled by smart recommendation engines. I settled on YouTube Music over Spotify or Apple Music and am quite disappointed with the “music discovery” aspect of the service. I frequently find good music and then “Start Radio” to find more music like the source but YouTube Music is just plain terrible at genres and understanding relationships and all too often leans on heavily on songs I’ve already liked. Pandora was great at this and maybe it’s time I give it another try before SiriusXM puts their (probably ruineous) stamp on it. For a company which was built on smart search Google or Alphabet(?) has a long way to go with YouTube Music.

Tell me why I'm wrong...
