I really liked Spotify, but when they started subsidizing hate speech I left. For the last year, I keep trying different platforms and cannot find anything that works well. I am ok with spending money for no ads. I have very diverse music tastes so want to have different "stations" based on my mood. Any suggestions?

I like spotify due to the many options I have (web player, awesome mobile apps, and 3rd party clients like ncspot (cli), or psst(GUI client written in Rust)).
I have tried Tidal, but the cost seems a bit prohibitive at the end of the day. For privacy-minded/tech-savvy folks, I would say local music library is the best solution and after that, self hosting some subsonic-compatible software like https://www.navidrome.org/docs/.
I personally have a small VPS running anyways so I use gonic (https://github.com/sentriz/gonic) on the server and symfonium(https://symfonium.app/) on android as a client. So, personal music collection combined with spotify premium, is, IMO, as good as it gets.
