Its really depressing that this is happening everywhere. The one good thing the internet did was open up paths to people that were being gate-kept before it. Now it's looking more and more like going back to gatekeeping is the only way any smallish company can stay in business. The scammers have always been there but now they can flood out authentic people without any effort on their part. Essentially allowing single bad actors to become the "Tyranny majority"
Well, look at it this way: streaming platforms were filled with worthless inauthentic slop well before "AI" generators got popular. It's their business model.
look, that was actually funny. All the record company A&R men shitting themselves that, in straight-up A/B testing, they were failing to compete with muzak.
Yeah, to be honest I've always had a certain fascination and respect for musicians who put out reams and reams of facile music and counterfeit hits, usually relatively small artisanal operations. I collect some of the stuff. It's really the streaming platforms I hate.
