Do people really still listen to the radio 

I only listen in the car but I should really sync up my phone to the car because I spend so much time flipping through the stations which is a distraction. Mainly I end up on either the 80s channel or the other one that plays 90s-00s stuff like Aaliyah.

Yes payola has infected streaming therefore creating inequality in even that. I hate playlists. I truly think of Spotify as Sweden's version of iHeartRadio. It feels like a scam. If I have enough money I can buy any artist's tracks on to top playlists. Labels are spending money by paying for this so that Spotify can then pay them back in streaming revenue. It sounds like a pyramid scheme. Does that even make sense to anyone because it doesn't to me.

Public radio is the way to go 

Minnesota's The Current is perfection

Radio only cares about advertising revenues. Radio only cares about promo. Radio does not care about artists. Radio does not care about youth. It only cares about the old farts in the next boardroom meeting.
