In my experience, it’s a lot of music that I already know I like. I don’t feel like I get much given to me that I wasn’t already aware of. With Pandora, you create stations that are based off of a specific band or song. If you are listening to a Rage Against the Machine station, you’re going to definitely hear Rage Against the Machine and then stuff that is similar. What I do is put it on shuffle for a group of selected stations and that gives me what I want.

I’m in the 23% on the American side of the chart that uses Pandora. I don’t see any reason to switch. I’ve been working on it knowing my preferences for like 20 years now.

Not sure which you are referring to, but they’ve both been around as creators on YouTube forever. They are both still actively making content. I’m not sure what memes you’re seeing, but maybe you’re just coming across communities with people that grew up watching this stuff more now. AVGN started in 2004 and Nostalgia Critic in 2007 so there’s a long history out there.

Content can be a little sparse at times. I’d rather be light on content rather than all the posts from archival bots archiving reddit posts. That’s stuff is annoying and no one ever comments in those.
