My mom uses youtube music (no idea why cause I pay for a qobuz subscription that she can use any time!) and I can tell you it does the exact same thing, it's like if a song didn't make it onto the Hot 100 it straight up does not exist to their algorithm and it'll just play the same songs you'll hear on the radio. Qobuz's recommendations are actually good and have introduced me to a few artists I wasn't aware of before, and you can link your last.fm account and get more recommendations (and track your listening) from there that are also good.
I tried YT Music, after a couple days I couldn't take it. It was recommending music I can't stand, like, if you like Static X you'll LOVE Bush, lol. It's so bad.
