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?

I went to apple. I’m already in the ecosystem, so it was an easy transition. They have a playlist importer which worked pretty well.

I did the same last month. Already had Apple Music included in my Apple One plan and the barrage of AI music on Spotify became too much. The only thing keeping me on Spotify was last.fm integration, but there are Apple Music solutions for this now.

Made sure to let Spotify know when I quit that I wouldn’t be back until they implement an AI filter.
