12. I’ve said it before: we don’t need tastemakers and gatekeepers anymore. We need park rangers.

    @tbquirk But aren't there curated compilations that buck that trend? DJ Kicks comes to mind...

    @jank0 Lots of awesome curators out there (I worship Kent Records). But as a differentiator for on demand services, it’s rarely done well.

    @tbquirk So what does it take to bring personality-driven curation to streaming services?

    @tbquirk Or will that simply never work because folks like Henry Rollins are just too crazy for brands like Apple?

    @jank0 Subtract the personalities. Seriously. They need curation that does;t brag about itself. Can still have celebrity playlists, but

    @jank0 …can’t expect those to be the sum total of your curation. They’re a nice to have (when done well), not a necessity.

    @tbquirk i'd prefer that john peel wasn't dead. i'd take his radio show over most playlists and recommendations at on-demand services.

    @tbquirk in other words, tastemakers have a place in the world. and i think the average consumer still likes tastemakers.

    @tbquirk but i agree that musicians aren't the tastemakers that apple/beats/whoever should be bringing aboard.

    @billboardglenn Absolutely. Just not as the raison d’être of any streaming service. That’s thinking way too small.

    @tbquirk what's the right mix? is there a correct ratio of tastemaker/park ranger?

    @billboardglenn @tbquirk the most popular tastemakers in the @playlistsnet community are not 'names' but normal users with great taste
