I guess that does say that most broadcasters are ignorant of what
traditional radio was all about since QSLs were a pretty solid part of the
hobby since the earliest years before the corporate boards deemed the
consumer largely irrelevant.

No, "verifications of reception" were common. Few AM and FM radio folks know
what a QSL card is. AM DXers collect "veries" and not QSLs.

As they do today. Seeing the general lack of education in US society, one
must wonder if even the station staff or engineers would even know much
about any of the traditions of radio.

In most cases, they are irrelevant to today's broadcast environment where
the competiton is new media, no an out of town skywave delivered signal

Apparently they're relevant enough to put a bee in your bonnet.
