Another vote for bandcamp. Definitely higher effort, but also higher reward in my opinion. One of my favourite things to do is sit on the sofa with my headphones on and actively listen to a few new bandcamp discoveries. It's really fun finding a new musician deep down a rabbit hole and having to try to decide for myself whether this is good music that I want to listen to again. Sometimes it's not, and that makes this method more time consuming, but I've also found most of my favourite musicians using this method.
Another great source is the Bandcamp Weekly with Andrew Jervis. If you're looking for something curated that is a little less effort, this is a great option.
