In the age of Spotify, podcasts, Apple Music, YouTube, NFT, OTT, is there a room for linear music channels?
"The exclusive right to music will never belong solely to the world's big players. Since the problem with aggregators like Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music is that you, as a consumer, are relentlessly drowning in their recommendations, how credible are computer-based recommendations at all? They are definitely not liked by a jazz connoisseur, avant-garde expert or heavy-metal fans, because their sole intention is to keep user to stay on the platform for as long as possible."
