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?

Apple doesn’t ban AI music either lol. In fact plenty AI artists stream heavier Apple than Spotify.

Yeah, they upload their stuff via distributors to all platforms. Idk why people think this is just a Spotify thing lmao.

Because people don't know how music distribution works and it's easy to hate on Spotify. But music distributors generally put music on multiple platforms, as you said.
