It made things easier for DJs in the time before automation. Now the incentives are against it. Why would your label want to give the listener 2 minutes they can’t monetise?

This shouldn’t be a huge surprise to anyone who has studied UK political history, UK opinion polls have always favoured “strong” governments, it goes back as far as the Arlington Street Compact at least

In Subway in particular though, they still need to employ exactly the same number of humans (for now)

It allows them to employ people who don’t speak English, lowering the skill bar and therefore allowing them to find staff easier and pay them less
