Discovery is a pretty interesting problem-space! It's one of those things that I'm looking forward to "earning the right" to solve (by having enough data to begin with, lol).

I like the idea of "people with your listening/purchasing habits also purchase this". Or "people in your geo purchased this", or "here's the music of people performing in your area this weekend".

Spotify/Apple Music/etc. (the "streamers") have a very different incentive model from the Bandcamps of the world, because their income stream is super concentrated on the major labels and heavily tied to plays of that music in particular. So they're biased in favor of that "kind" of music in discovery.

They actually are averse to showing people hyper-niche music, which I think is why discovery is such a tricky problem for them to "solve": their salary depends on them not fully exploring the solution space.

I think moving out of the universe of royalty-based revenue is a huge step in the right direction for somebody trying to solve that problem at scale, even if it's a smaller market.
