Idk about “winning”, but definitely “flooding the zone so hard that you struggle to find normal music anymore”.

Check out Bandcamp if you’re looking for “same vibe, different artist”. They’ve got a ton of musicians on the platform that do a great job of churning out period and style specific material that’s still human-made and different enough from the original that it doesn’t feel like the same song.

But YouTube Music, Spotify, and Soundcloud are all just drowning in the slop. The only winning move is not to play them.
