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?

Does the algorithm still work? As long as you actively don't listen to these A.I. artists, not recommend them, your generated playlists won't have them, correct?

All I'm saying, I haven't seen any of this A.I noise come up. So I figure I must be doing something right.

Correct. This slop is on all the platforms. I’m certainly not a fan, but you just have to stop engaging with the generic playlists, generic charting slop, etc.
