That’s mostly true, although you usually (in my case at least) I am aware of all shows I have available on Jellyfin, and it’s only ones I like.
For discovering new shows to download, things like Jellyseerr actually do give recommendations… No idea how good they are though.
But frankly, Netflix used to recommend a lot of things that sounded interesting on the surface-level, and then turned out to be utter shit. Probably not an entirely bad thing to be lacking recommendations :D
I’ve been a Spotify subscriber since the US launch. There are some other options
Listenbrainz or last.fm can offer recommendations, but there won’t be the instant gratification. Last.fm does support music playback on its website, which sources from YouTube. Either platforms are going to require some work to build up an account.
If you’re comfortable with Plex, I’d advocate for its sonic analysis tool. It looks at the waveform of newly added music and then offers recommendations. Coming from a massive streaming service, it’s been refreshing to use Plexamp. The curation aspect of my library is fun compared to the sprawling library on Spotify. I like the fact that I control with artists and albums are in my library. It’s led to me finding more deep cuts with my favorite groups rather. The hard part is finding/ripping the music you’d like to listen to.
Most work days, I use Plexamp because the curated library leads to less skipping and I stay more focused. I still have Spotify for home because the library is unbeatable and other family members use our group account. Either platform will scrobble my listens to last.fm while Listenbrainz will update itself from my last.fm account. I can search for new music on Last.fm or Listenbrainz and add it to my Plex library.
I have a Plex Lifetime account but have never tried the Plexamp.
I wanna be real with you. Finding music and ripping it myself is a chore. I still have Spotify for this reason.
Along with a recommendation engine they provide, if I hear a song in a store that I like, I can scan it with Google and it pops up the artist and then I click Spotify and it’s there.
Because of Spotify and Steam, I don’t pirate songs or pirate games(much) anymore.
I think the only time I pirate games now is if games require an online connection.
We’re currently paying for Mubi, mainly far the curated content and because some of the movies shown there are really hard to find anywhere else (international movies specially)
I think the main thing these pirate services don’t have is a good recommendation system tailored to your watch history like Netflix or Spotify has.
last.fm has one for music. But I actually prefer talking to people and getting actual recommendations

I share a Netflix account with my brother(we use wireguard site to site so it looks like we are on the same network).
The recommendation engine is great for Animes.
It’s hard to know which new anime is out unless you see an ad or hear it from a friend.
My GF is VERY up to date on this (unfortunately? 😆)
Very fortunate!

Ya, same here in Taiwan. Localized content is very difficult to come by.
