I understand that it's a different model that will not work for everyone. But check out Bandcamp's payout model. Find new music via internet radio/MusicBrains (I don't remember RN the name of music exploration based on that)/yt and buy it via the model that is straightforward and at least seems to put the most money in artists' pockets
Bandcamp also has a "discover" feature where you can set which genres you are interested in. I did find some interesting albums this way too

I'm a bandcamp user and buy stuff regularly there, only because they are the lesser of all evils... but what is their current status? I thought they went bankrupt and owned by tencent?
Are they still fighting the good fight? Or heading toward enshittification?
Bandcamp was owned by Epic Games, not Tencent for a short while, and now owned by Songtradr which does not have anything to do with tencent.
At least, this is what i found.
I imagine they will inevitably enshittify since the buyout but they seem to be good still for now.
The nice thing is I get to download the files so I'm not fucked when it happens.
They are still doing the Bandcamp Fridays where everything you pay goes to the artist, so that's nice.
