Way back it was always through word of mouth that one discovered things. I still hold it true. You may have 10 friends how have their nieche and once in a while they recommend something they think you want to listen to.

I think that the music matter more based on whom recommended it. An algorithm won't have the same effect. It's missing the storyline on how you ended up with watching x movie or listening to y song.

really good point. There are a number of bands that I listened to (and ended up liking) purely because of who told me about them.

I think the same applies to most stuff. Your idols influence alot. I see this as the best reason to not rely purely on algorithms.

Producing playlists is also a sort of art.
