I really don't care how Kanye does anything.

I don't know wwhat that means
Typo in your title. Kanye is known as "Ye".
Edit: maybe not typo
It's a joke, he changed his name to Ye
I have a large list on bandcamp that I follow to try and stay up with as many releases as I can, also following relevant genre "tags" on there to get recommendations from artists I may not know about. The genre tags can be hit and miss though due to artists often being unable to tag their work properly.
I'll also listen to shows on SoundCloud and will search out tracks and new artists I hear on there. I'll also occasionally check the Juno charts if I have run out of new music to listen to and in the last year started building up a follow list on Spotify to check new releases there that I may have missed from all the other avenues.
It's a shame Bandcamp killed RSS
Despite being aware of it for a quarter of a century I have never used RSS although I probably should.
Bandcamp is slowly getting worse but depending on your core genre interests for me it is still by far the best choice.
Bandcamp's the best of a bad lot: no DRM is a big deal. When they had RSS they were nearly perfect.
Pretty much. They still run bandcamp Friday too when the artists get all the money for sales so I generally stack up my wishlist and try to make my purchases on that one Friday a month.
Sorry, but Spotify Discover Weekly of course.
And I also always have Shazam ready to go for when out and about.
I follow a bunch of hash tags on Mastodon.
A simple combination of Spotify, searching for recommendations, as in "artists similar to _____," checking out AllMusic for a brief overview and maybe which album to start with.
At the moment? Watching Anime. A few years ago? Watch music videos of songs I already know on youtube and see what the algorithm spits out.
Yoasobi slaps.
I subscribe to the digital stream of radio stations through my podcast app. WFUV out of New York City, WXRV out of I don't know where, some random station out of Sydney, Australia I stumbled on that has an EDM DJ on at the same time I'm waking up on the weekends.
I also have Spotify, but I tend to get better recommendations from real human DJs at radio stations.
Bandcamp Features
A friend recommended pitchfork yesterday to me. Haven't gotten around to it though
Bandcamp follows and whatever is playing on CBC music.
I used to use r/listentothis, haven't in a long time though, not even out of "fuck you reddit" just busy I think.
