i've reached that point with youtube. it's reached the point of re-recommending stuff i've already watched.

therefore, i've concluded that i have watched ALL of the videos on youtube.

time to start on vimeo.
I have the same issue with Spotify but Pandora actually works well for me

I usually listen to podcasts anymore.
