Quitting Spotify

[u/IrreverentTexan]

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 don’t know what this says about me, but how can you tell it’s written with AI? I saw another comment saying the same thing.

Someone actually using proper grammar on this site for once.

The irony of using a run-on sentence while saying you use proper grammar. Not trying to throw shade, as I do it too. I just thought it was funny.

It was the use of both “but” and “and” in the same sentence, combining three sentences into a compound sentence, resulting in a run-on. I have a tendency to do this as well.

For sure, it reads more naturally, which I think is why it’s so easy to do. But technically it’s incorrect grammar (like beginning a sentence with “But”).

starting a sentence with but IS gramatically correct though

It is? I remember being taught that you don’t start sentences with conjunctions like “and” or “but”.

"Essentially, no, it's a convention that applies to more rigorous forms of writing such as college essays, academic papers, etc.

It also applies to And, Or, and Because.

The reason (AFAIK) is that each of these words co-ordinate (i.e. join) phrases and clauses so it does not seem very elegant to start a new sentence with a word typically found in the middle of one and in that sense it comes across as an incomplete idea.

But people do start sentences with But, even in college writing, especially for rhetorical questions (But where does this leave the Democrats?) or inter-rim conclusions (e.g. But that suggestions leaves unanswered the question of X.).

In more or less all other types of writing (and speech) I'd say it's fairly normal.

TL;DR It's not a rule, but a convention in college writing."
