I don't know how much Spotify uses human curation, but Apple Music has a lot of human editors behind the scenes to assemble -- and update/maintain -- what I'm pretty sure are tens of thousands of playlists at this point, based on artist and genre and subject and mood and more. And while this is absolutely one of those Totally Subjective YMMV Works For Me May Suck For You deals, for me it's been far more hit than miss.

(I have some experience with Tidal, which also has apparently human-curated lists but they haven't at all at Apple's level. My experience with Spotify wasn't good, but it was also really limited, because it just didn't offer anything obvious over Apple Music to me -- the reverse is almost certainly true for someone who's already deeply invested in Spotify, though!)
