Even when actively searching for Australian content it's not easy to find it much of the time. Honestly it's only by listening to Triple J, Unearthed etc that I find emerging local artists. The algorithm doesn't care.
It’s no accident that foreign streaming services do little to promote Australian music and podcasts to Australians…and it’s no accident that our governments have chosen not to do more to fix it. Local content matters more in the digital age than ever
