  2. I listen to Pandora Thumbprint, it’s a channel comprised of all the songs I thumbed up. Being Pandora, it includes similar songs/artists that I didn’t thumb up. For months, I’ve been like, ewww, Nickleback, skip! Just this morning I listened to a complete Nickleback song! It wasn’t bad at all.

    Regarding the song Photograph, go checkout the official song on YouTube. The comments specifically. The song has been out for years, a few mentions of, ‘look at this graph’ which was some TikTok thing or something more recently. The comments are FLOODED WITH TRUMP SUPPORTERS!
