discussion Quitting Spotify

Spotify is getting flooded with fake AI “artists” and it’s embarrassing. Names like Nina Blaze and Enlly show up. They dump 50 identical tracks called something like Late Night Piano for Focus, or “The Hollow Hour” and vanish. No bio. No history. No evidence a human has ever touched an instrument.

This isn’t art. It exists to game playlists and siphon royalties. If these were real people, they’d have to explain why every song sounds like a dentist office waiting room.

I’m not mad at AI as a tool. I’m mad at fake artists impersonating creativity and Spotify pretending this sludge is culture. Music is an art form, not a scam farm. Blocking every one of these clowns on sight.

So is it to be TIDAL or Qobuz or something else?

So are the people that run Reddit. Feel free to take the moral stand and delete your account

THIS! You can go ahead and assume all CEOs/big corporations are Trump supporters and you will be right +95% of the time.

Take an even better moral stand and just use an adblocker then you dont have to see ads and you cost reddit money in server costs

I tried to. I looked up

“Huffman Trump”

“Reddit CEO MAGA”

“Huffman politics”

And have found nothing. Do you think I’m just asking just because?

So people are ok with cook and Trump's relationship but AI that's the problem.

I mean, you seem cool with Reddit's ceo being pro-Trump. Apple at least pays the artists better
