    <https://9to5google.com/2025/01/14/android-auto-drivers-youtube-music-report/> Interesting automotive music radio listening statistics

    In-car listening has declined to 27% in 2024 (down from 45% in 2017).
    AM/FM still leads automotive at 34% but it's declining at about -3% YoY. Spotify & SiriusXM each have 21% of the automotive listening market.

    Some of that are bundles that the article claims is "forcibly bundled".
    It's a bit confusing of an article though, if you just skim it (as I did).

    Nobody forced me to get any bundles that I know of.
    Did they force you?

    Typical AM/FM radio is 50 minutes of advertising and 10 minutes of
    program. I don't listen to it any more either. One day it will be all advertising and no listeners.
