    No shit with the company that has a CEO that calls music ~“content without production costs”. Soulless middleman profiteering ghouls.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
