I'm surprised at this. I find music discovery easy. Some tips:
On Bandcamp: in addition to obviously following artists I like, I follow several fan accounts of those artists, then I can see what they buy. I also try to sample the Bandcamp album of the day.
On NTS.live I have a bunch of favourite hosts and try to listen to every show they release, and note the track listing. Too many to ever get through.
Podcasts: NPR All Songs Considered, and Resident Advisor when I can.
On Apple Music there's the algorithm. Hit or miss.
Back in the heydays of music blogs I would find a lot of great stuff on Hype Machine, but alas, I think those days are gone.
Just with these few sources I find there is far too much great new music to get through in one lifetime. Godspeed!
