I mean, I use a foss YouTube music app, yarr, but even there if you play an album, or a specific song from the album, it queues up the album. If you play a song out of search it queues up related songs. Spotify is similar. Playlists are also a thing. I don’t use it for ethics reasons but sounds like your past issues were user error.
I tried Spotify years ago. I wanted to play Queen. first song was my man Freddie belting out about those fat bottomed girls.
next song, hoping it’s a killer, and Gene fucking Simmons of KISS starts playing.
I wonder what the fuck this shit is, I want Freddie. I change the song back to Queen. next song… Queens of the Stoneage…ok.
fuck Spotify. If I wanted to listen to the fucking radio, I would listen to the god damned radio. I listen to bands, not genres.
never used their shit app again.

new user, picks “Queen Greatest Hits”, plays, gets KISS and other rock bands.
it’s not a user problem, it’s a UX problem.
Spotify shuffles “similar artists” in if you pick the playlists called BAND_NAME Radio.
I dunno how it operates in free mode, because I don’t hate myself enough to hear their crappy ads.
Free mode forces shuffle play, it’s obnoxious
Amazon Prime does that too, and you have to pay for that…
