Remember when subscribing to artists would give you alerts for when they released new content? It was a fantastic way of keeping up with new music. For me it was a killer feature. They replaced it with the terrible "Release Radar" playlist that shows a small sample of whatever this week's ML algo recommends. It's garbage.

For me it usually does what you describe. When opening the application it shows me the new release of an artist I follow if it finds one.

Following an artist works fine for me. Perhaps check your communication preferences? Maybe you've disabled emails or notifications about new releases from artists you follow.

Probably they did the math and found that that feature wasn't delivering enough value or cost too much to maintain.

In comparison, Release Radar is an easy win; all the ML is already there.
