I think you touched on the point: people who don't actually care about music think musical pablum is 'good', because it slides in their ear and out without challenging them with actual 'listening'. This guy even assigns a genre to his slop while clearly knowing (and, really, caring) nothing about what he claims to like listening to.

I do care a lot what I listen to. It takes me while to find songs that I like.

Also I am not listening to AI generated music that I generate myself.

These are some channels whose music I like:
