spotify execs bet on land war in asia
I don’t want AI music; however Spotify has made great playlist of recommended artist of music I like.
There platform also works correctly for listening on WiFi which Tidal did not.
I think they will learn quickly that people don’t like AI generated music. If people do end up liking it, then I’m sad because so far Spotify recommendations is something I talked highly about in past years.
Moving to Tidal as we speak. Enough is enough.
I won’t even pay for Spotify. I’ve only bought one song since the advent of AI and it’s from an artist I trust not to use slop
Spotify would be wrong.
Betcha I won’t. I ain’t paying for shit from that garbage app.
Music streaming companies with active anti-AI policies are: Qobuz, Tidal and Deezer
Bandcamp is always worth mentioning if you want to buy music directly
Bandcamp rules. Not only can you buy music but many artists also sell merch, sheet music, art and more. It’s a great, one-stop-shop to support your favourite artists.
And if you keep a look out, Bandcamp regularly email about “Bandcamp Friday” which are defined Fridays where they waive their share of the sale meaning the artist gets the whole cut!
lol I’m so glad I unsubbed back when they started letting ICEatzgruppen advertise on their platform. I paid for ad free, but simply knowing they were running ads for the all-American Stasi made me drop them like a hot potato.
They’re right, most people have shit music taste.
I have shit music taste, but only because I’m self aware enough to know I do.
You may be shrugging right now, going “well, I don’t have shit music taste.”
You do.
It’s crap. I’ve listened to a little of it. Generic, predictable, and full of issues like “singers” rapping out 30 seconds of high volume lyrics without a single intake of breath. But it fits in with the general overall quality of available music on Spotify. A sea of boring and low-effort junk.
https://github.com/KRTirtho/spotube let’s you use playlists while listening for free without ads.
How are they all so incredibly out of touch?
I hope they “bet big” because they’ll lose this bet. Everyone can see it but the billionaires.
I saw this on another thread but if you really want to help musicians directly, I’d recommend www.paymusicians.app.
I am not sponsored by them, and I have no ties to the company, but I (artist name Thassodar) signed up for them last week and just received like $.50 this morning.
May sound insignificant but, in the last 6 years I’ve been streaming, it’s the fastest turnaround for any payout I’ve signed up for. And to get that fifty cents from Spotify I’d probably need several hundred plays. Consider them to support artists, and recommend artists you know sign up. I hope it’s a better way to get money directly to the creator.
I’m glad I got rid of that shit years ago
