schestowitz-TR"My interest in understanding incentive structures is a recurring theme here, whether it be digital privacy or software development. If shorter, shallower tracks are easier to produce, get higher play counts, and therefore generate more money, the industry will trend in that direction." https://rubenerd.com/marcel-bischoff-on-commercial-radio/Jan 01 13:48
