  • I think generally it is the key feature.

    Internet radio existed before pandora came along, pandora was novel in that it implemented the music genome project. The idea of the user selecting the next song was counter to their intent.

    Playlists, and/or the user selecting their songs wasn’t exactly novel except for the free2play model w/ads allowing its widespread adoption.

    IMO pandora paved the way for the commercial viability of Spotify, now pandora has playlists and you can select individual songs and albums. I still use it just for the music discovery

  • Pandora was initially antithetical to playlists, the concept was utilizing the music genome project to play songs that are like songs you’ve liked, intelligent radio.

    Playlists probably was the thing Spotify had that pandora didn’t have that made Spotify get big, you can make playlists now.

    I only use pandora because it’s music discovery is so good tbh.

  • Shockingly I am one of them.

    But we didn’t hoard.

    My ex used to work at a bjs and there was a sale the summer before lockdown AND we’d just bought a house so she had bought like 10 packs…. Had to fill all our empty storage.

    Anyways.

    October 2024 I purchased my first toilet paper again since 2019.

    I guess technically we didn’t buy any DURING the pandemic…
