Apple music curated playlists are gone???

I use the Activity-based playlists from Apple Music all the time. I also would check out the various genre-related playlists to see what new stuff was out there. But this past month, none of those playlists are showing up under "For You." The few favorites that added to My Music are still there, under My Playlists, but I can't find a way to access the lists. This was one of the primary features that got me to pay for Apple Music, and they've either gotten rid of it, or made it next-to-impossible to access.

Is anyone else having this problem, or found a workaround?

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.2.1

The best work around (for me) is to go to Playlist page in ITUNES and then running a google search on the given curator's playlist (they most likely posted a link to one on their own site. i.e. searching PIGEONS & PLANES itunes PLAYLIST) I can follow this link into ITUNES and then access the catalog of said curator. Not sure why this is so buggy?

This is very upsetting, I was looking for the exact same thing. Belgian Apple Music never got the same amount and quality playlists as the American store version, which is a ripp off on it's own and hard to understand if Music contents is sold world wide with international music rights agreement...

In search of an actual interface and logical browsing experience, Apple Music is making bad choices time after time. Once you get used to relocated playlists they mix it up again. This doesn't make me curious in exploring everything again and finding a new way to listen to music for me at all! It makes me tired and ...Blah careless

why is the simplicity of old iTunes or Spotify so bad?? Or impossible for the new Apple Music?

Seriuously, for a 10 € monthly fee I'm becoming more and more doubtful to continue my subscription.

At a certain point you don't care for more album artwork but just text lists of the music you know. It's like being forced to judge Music by it's cover, and Apple is not the company who promotes judging books that way throughout history. Very superficial and too much a visual approach.

FLat design might work on app icons but not Apple Music people!
