Very interesting article. I think it’s true they that streaming music services tend to make passive listening to easy. I remember the days of getting a new album, playing it while I read the liner notes, checked out the cover art and listening intently to the lyrics. Now it’s too easy to play something, anything while I cook dinner, get ready for work…
I do like SiriusXM. I appreciate the curated approach. DJs that spin the music, adding their own take on a particular track and comments. It tends to break up the passive listening and listen more closely.
I’ve been listening to Blondie this week.
A person can only hope.
I can see quality of posts getting worse and worse. Bots reposting, comments filled with low effort puns and one liners. I hardly ever got on Twitter and even less now but before I would see interesting tweets and comments but not anymore. I believe Reddit will be just the same.
