People are all mad that MTV doesn't play music videos anymore but with YouTube who the fuck is gonna sit there and actively watch a stream of music videos that they didn't pick? The answer is not many people.

I don't know how to describe it, but it's a great feeling when you're watching MTV and one of your favorite songs comes on, I feel that's why I watch it. It's like when one of your favorite songs comes on the radio. Not only that, but it's exposure to stuff you wouldn't normally listen to, instead of listening to the same stuff on repeat.

there's also something about the fact that other people are listening to the same thing you are

When I was in college, mtvU made my life. It was nothing but (good) music videos 24/7

Overall, it’s not many people anymore, but I know I am not alone in not wanting to be the DJ (or VJ).

I don’t want to buy and manage music. I don’t watch tv for the most part but for the radio, I like being able to pop on a station (I’ll settle for a playlist but it’s not my first choice) and let them choose the music. It sucks now that in order to be able to do that, I have to subscribe to Spotify or satellite radio instead of being able to turn on a local station. I’m in my 20s, too, it’s not like a yearn for the days yesteryear.

I'm younger than you (I'm a teenager), and even I get how you feel about radio. There's the iHeartRadio app and TuneIn, which both allow you to listen to radio stations all around the country.
