Friends: I'm considering writing more guides like this. Which websites or services would you like to learn to make less of a time sink?

Spotify isn't a time sink, but it would be if I wanted to get it to actually expose me to new and interesting music in the genres I like. Its radios and playlists give me the same crap over and over. Algorithms can and should surface things I don't know about--surely you can break Spotify of this??

Honestly? The only solution I've found to this is human curation. You need to search for playlists created by actual people. I've found a few maintained by the Spotify staff that are decent—Lorem, for example.
