If I were on #spotify, I’d cancel my subscription/account immediately.
King Gizzard pulled their music from the platform so Spotify has replaced it with #AI knockoffs of their music. As if paying almost nothing for streaming wasn’t evil enough, they’re now using LLMs trained on stolen content to pay artists nothing at all.

And really? Does the average casual listener *really* need lossless quality??
I certainly don't. #music #Spotify
