Back in the day, I used to listen to top-40 radio all day long. I bought some of the tunes I liked. The radio stations paid DJs to sift through incoming tunes and air the good stuff.
Yeah, I got spoiled into thinking that you got to listen to stuff before you forked out for some of it. I liked that model a lot better than paying for a streaming service. My guess is that's still a fine model for most people.
- seizethecheese 8y agoThis strikes me as unwarranted nostalgia. With Spotify, you can find a universe of playlist curated by all the people with the best taste in the world. I find this far more compelling than being stuck with a handful of gatekeepers for my city in the genres that I like.
