Nah I'm not talking about stations, I'm talking about radio. It was like, the main feature of Spotify for a while.
The "radio" you can make nowadays isn't a radio at all, it's a static playlist and a lot of the times the playlist it generates is just 50% ripped from my listening history, resulting in artist bubbles that for me have proven impossible to escape. Same deal for the music they generate when a playlist ends. A bunch of playlists paired with an algorithm that doesn't accept feedback simply cannot fill the role that was the original Spotify radio.
