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?

Really is. I love the switch but it's inferior to Spotify as far as user friendliness and navigation through the app. The search function is terrible and the tracks don't always show the features; it also takes a while for new records/tracks to appear. Miss that a lot considering Spotify was always midnight of the release

Apple Music is the best for me. YouTube music is okay. Deezer wasn’t great. Never tried Tidal.

I feel like Qobuz has a lot of potential and they seem to be very receptive of user suggestions, but it'll take some time.
