Which music streaming app should I use? (beehaw.org)

I really liked Spotify, but when they started subsidizing hate speech I left. For the last year, I keep trying different platforms and cannot find anything that works well. I am ok with spending money for no ads. I have very diverse music tastes so want to have different "stations" based on my mood. Any suggestions?

YouTube music has the best algorithm for radios in my opinion. But my account is almost 20 years old so it has a lot to work with.

It also has a lot of rare music that will never exist on other platforms e.g. old myspace bands that were mostly lost with the myspace database disaster. The original files and copyright are likely lost, so it'll never show up anywhere else.
