Used to use Spotify pretty much exclusively, and by now their algorithm is pretty good at giving me songs I like. However, Spotify as a company sucks, and also spotify's shuffle is shit (the magic shuffle or whatever they call it is even worse IMO).
Nowadays I mostly listen to mixes on YouTube and internet radio for discovering music, but I also find the occasional song on reddit. When I like something I buy it on bandcamp to support the artists I listen to.
Reccomendations from friends, spotify. Whenever i doscover a new genre i tend to read the wikipedia article on it‘s history which will tell me who some of the pioneering artists of said subgenre are. What i love about spotify is i can listen to playlists for a certain genre made by other people and not the crap that spotify throws at me which are biased by my listening history.
Local community radio, streaming recommendations, opening acts at shows and festivals my kids and coworkers.
I listen mostly by streaming but radio here is still good because of the local not for profit station.
Spotify's Discover Weekly mostly. YouTube music for things like trance remixes or cover songs.
I watch music reaction youtubers. They showcase a large amount of new music in a short amount of time and are kind of like DJs where they preselect good stuff already.
My ways have already been discussed, except for NTS Radio, some of the best new music I've listened too were on there.
Primarily listen on Spotify. I try to expand my horizons using their discovery playlists or artist/track radio for songs I already like, but they've got me heavily pigeonholed into late 90's college rock and early/mid 00's pop-punk....which is harsh but fair.
I occasionally check out place like Bandcamp or Tapefear for some rut busters. Most recently, Bandcamp turned me on to Irish hip hop artist Denise Chaila, which was a welcome surprise.
I used to use Spotify out of laziness, after a recent price hike I switched to local mp3 playback, I'm discovering music through radio, there's always something playing at work, at home, in a car, trying to diversify stations I hear, sometimes social media pops a new song in my ear
