Spotify should have twitch-style, human hosted, radio shows (intentionally no video) with live chat. with full access to the catalog, it would easily bring back communities built around good music.

That would be good experimnent and could actually work.

I would love to try it however they would have to solve "global song availability" and "Sponsored songs only Stations".

But if they did try there is the chance of some niche communities forming.

It wouldn't even need to be live to begin with. A narrated playlist with a DJ and basic control functionality such as fading into songs or a voice over.

Not trivial but doable and I wonder why they never tried that.

		It has been tried. I don't remember its name, but I remember that they have changed names at least once. It's a pretty obvious "app" for Spotify's API which they opened up a few years ago.

Nice idea! Let’s hope that some other platform executes this (let’s be honest, Spotify doesn’t care about humans in any way).
