I feel UI designers could make something work but its such a niche group of people its hard to spend resources designing and maintaining a catalog of recordings of different versions of the same song.

Personally I think spotify is the best content provider to give me good recommendations. Compared to netflix, youtube and other media source they dont show the same 10 items mixed into other topics.
The unfortunate thing about the insane amount of tests that spotify runs to make their platform more engaging is some people will have bad experiences.
[Study that was at the core for Europe's austerity and European debt crisis contained excel errors when fixed showed the inverse of original hypothesis.](https://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/19/opinion/krugman-the-excel...)
Programmable commands instead of a data grid would be huge improvement to quality but people use excel in many ways. Python is out of reach for most people. SQL would be an improvement as well. I assumed airtable or similar would replace excel over time. But the sunk cost for existing report and the sharablity seems to keep excel in control.
Gasoline (all types) 42.7% - Huge dip when the pandemic happened now its back to pre covid prices.
Natural gas (piped) 21.1% - Same issue.
Used cars and trucks 31.9% - New cars are being made because of a ship shortage.
Meats, poultry, fish, and eggs 8.0% - a labor problem because its hard to get that many people to work in spaces like that and not get sick.

Not to sound inconsiderate, but I would suggest writing a blog doing research for people instead of making a tech solution. MVP can use existing tools. You will find that a lot of these small businesses have Square or Toast at their stores. Those are going to use a different service than the one I mentioned above. Its always tempting to build but it could take weeks before you can provide these small businesses with a tech solution and there might not be in the infrastructure to help them use the gift cards.
