Youtube runs into islands. After a point, you are stuck in some domain of music and music starts repeating. Next time I sample a song, it very quickly progresses to songs I know and I'm back in that same island.

In my opinion, it needs a "discover" setting in autoplay where it amps up discovery and reduces chances of reaching songs I know.

This will forever be my White Whale, but I could have sworn that there was an old version of the Youtube Music app that had a radio/autoplay feature with a slider from 'very similar' to 'wildly different'. I totally overlooked it at the time but now I can't seem to find anything online about it. Such a shame because I love finding weird songs.

I can usually go a whole afternoon without songs being repeated, unless I manually choose a new song. Then I sort of end up back in the same playlist all over again. But if it were not for YouTube, there are so many good songs I would have never heard.

Oh, I agree with you! I know a lot of music only courtesy of youtube, but I can't explore the neighboring region of those songs I've repeated a number of times. Maybe it's just in how I discover in a very narrow music domain, I don't know.

Seconded. I really like the auto generated playlists, all music that I like + each once in a while a new similar song that sometimes I don't even notice until I think to myself "hey what was that nice song?".
