I 've been a big supporter of Tidal and have no intention of cancelling my subscription... and am currently the Facilitator of the Jazz Circle.
Well perhaps you can write it off as a business expense. Just Kidding. For someone who knows what to search for, I agree with you. Others have suggested I need or desire to be spoon-fed. I think being offered suggestions based upon search history and favorites is a good thing, not a crutch. Tidal doesn't have such a feature.
Tidal has much more than I realized after starting this thread. It's a question of finding it, which at least one poster states isn't worth the hassle. Just by putting Wiener Philharmoniker in the search box rather than a composer, i see so much I didn't see before, when I searched only by composer or visited the composer's page, which should have been revealed.
One poster states that Tidal should have the functions of Roon. I partially agree. When it comes to organization and break down of genre and sub-genre, and results of a simple search, I totally agree. But Roon's other features, I don't expect them.
