Interesting video. AI Slop-makers are flooding Spotify with their slop music, using Payola to get into popular playlists. Spotify not doing anything about it because they're making money from it. No wonder why queen Mimi took Glitter off the platform a few months back. Real artists are making practically nothing.

Will the musicians ever come together and fight this craziness?

I thought she took Glitter off to prepare for the 25th anniversary edition that her tone deaf ass will probably release on the 9/11 25th anniversary

tbh after Mamdani kicked her out of NYC, I'm not sure even cares about 9/11 any more. She just might do it.

I never knew this! Oh Mariah CAREy

She may be broken, but Taylor still stands tall.

And there is an even bigger problem when people are liking some of the AI created artists/music more than the real ones because they find that more appealing. There's no accounting for taste, but what the labels are putting out isn't connecting.

It's okay cause she'll add the Hero/Never Too Far medley at the end of the tracklist as a tribute to 9/11

I thought lizzo was at it again

What is not broken nowadays?

You can avoid this when you only listen to your own playlists, the artists that you really like, etc

Does Tidal has AI Slop too?

great, depressing video. nothing groundbreaking but lays it all out well

Key points:

1. **** Spotify (ai artists eating up profit, discovery mode payola)

2. **** Labels (duh, oh and how they have Spotify by the balls via equity gaming and control)

3. **** Live Nation (duhhhh)

4. His own experience

Honestly, it's so depressing.

Cancel your Spotify memberships. It does more harm than good and actively funds military AI development in the Gaza genocide, as well as not paying artists. Stop spending £1000 to see your pop fav. The more you do it, the more they keep raising those prices (it is both the industry and the artists fault here!).

Also, stop buying 20 variants of albums. Just do one for fucks sake. Like a normal person.

Not surprised, and it's been broken for a long-ass time.

Are we meant to think that Apple of all companies is somehow more ethical?
