If I don’t have the ability to listen to adless streaming from my phone, I’d sooner rather listen to road noise than the trash on the radio or sit in silence if not driving. A couple of songs and then 10 minutes of the same ads is more than enough reason to never turn that shit on.
Agreed, the relentless ads are intolerable (probably due to fewer listeners, which leads to a death spiral, much like antenna TV). I haven’t heard anyone recommend radio since before the iPod. I’d prefer nature/noise as well.
Yea, ads, like commercials. There are more of them and shitty radio DJs talking than actual music being played. If someone were to listen to an AM talk radio station, then there’s generally less commercials in my experience, but it’s low quality, and just a talk radio show.

Ads on the radio?? I meant like public broadcasting

Well I’m sorry to hear that. I guess I’ve been spoiled.
You are spoiled by that imaginary radio that has all the music and magically no ads lol.
Not to mention radio only has like twenty songs on rotation.
You don’t have to listen to it all day. I like checking in in before and after work.
But if all the stations in your area have ads, then ofc nah, don’t listen to that garbage.
