I mean I don't listen to the radio because if it's not endless commercials it's some DJ refusing to shut the hell up and just play the music already. For decades I've wanted to see a simple "That was (song) by (artist), next is (song) by (artist)."

Now I just use Pandora. A few bucks a month, no ads, and I can block or skip songs. So I don't really care that a DJ loses his job. I do care, however, that they replaced him with an AI that will also refuse to shut the hell up but now also in an annoying artificial voice.

Now I'm not from Poland, but let's be honest, they're just the first of a bazillion others that'll do the same thing.
