Spotify used to be good, but have enshittified their UI past the point of usability for me. It really wants to play me tracks that are profitable for Spotify, not tracks I want to hear.

What you say is still true of the Amazon and Apple offerings, though. Haven't tried Youtube Music, so can't comment on that.

how are some tracks more profitable to spotify than others?

They were caught flooding their own playlists with specially for them produced Garbage Music for which they don't have to pay royalties
