I personally started to use Qobuz. Their algorithm isn't great, their target group is more the more distinguished music listener but their library is pretty much as big as any others plus they do have the largest library of hi-res music too and they actually sell also hi-res and CD lossless music if that is of interest to you. Most importantly though, they have a "ban-AI-music" stance on their platform. Soon enough, one will have to rely on platforms like that if one does not want to wade through a sea of AI slop.
The downside is that Qobuz is a bit more expensive than others (while paying the most to artists however, as far as I know).

Also Qobuz is not globally available to all.

I wanted to get into Qobuz but couldn't ultimately because the higher-res streaming killed my cellular. The app would freeze constantly when and music wouldn't load properly when I'd try to stream it instead of playback downloaded music. I like the idea and it's awesome that it's higher-res music, but my phone couldn't handle it

I switched to Qobuz recently and started to actual discover new music again after years on Spotify.
