There's still a difference between hand-curated content and algorithmically generated ones. People have trust in others, people are less likely to trust code.

A couple of weeks ago, I heard on the radio a program, something like, "The Frugal DJ", wherein all of the music played came off of records that the host had obtained for cheap. Like, $1 albums at garage sales.

It was interesting.

>People have trust in others

A history of mafia men shoveling cash and threats to DJs has me convinced otherwise.

There is/was big money to be made getting your song played on the radio and that system is/was gamed pretty hard.

The average person has no idea whether the content on the radio is human generated (by what human? a corporate marketing department!) or algorithmically generated.
