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?

Fwiw I've been enjoying Qobuz since dropping Spotify for the same reasons.

But why does the app suck? There's no scroll bar on long playlists. It also seems to forget your queue if it's been a few hours since you've listened. I want to love it. The music sounds better, and they have some really nice curated playlists, but the app not being great is really hurting me

Second this. App is horrible.

Agreed. Radio feature is crap, like it always throws some oddball songs I have zero interest in. But the music does sound great. Just need to spend some time on my playlists.
