    Spotify literally have a department that’s job is to A&R music for their own editorial playlists so they can benefit from their own revenue. They sign 80/20 deals with anonymous artists and generate millions off the back of this. Just look through the ambient playlist and click on the artist profiles, they all have like one release and have millions of streams. They are truly the worst company. This man is a hero in my eyes because at least he is taking money away from the monster that is Spotify.

    My mom has been stuck in AI-generated Bigfoot story video rabbit holes on UA-cam from tons of different uploaders using the same "narrator voice". I showed her they were different channels, and she brushed me off by saying "They just narrate for other people!" and "Discovery Channel and Travel Channel have similar shows, like these guys do!"
    AI is so prevalent on platforms with people raking in hundreds of thousands of views with AI-generated garbage, and people eat it up and excuse it, or even believe it's real just because it's hard to accept you've been duped. Like sure, an AI-generated video is telling you Leviathan is coming because big fish and centipedes are coming out of a wormhole, and another AI-generated video says Bigfoot has been found with body parts in a cave, but you should be able to tell it's entertainment and not real, right...? Well, in the "age of information", not so much anymore, unfortunately, and those who are less tech-savvy will be fooled easier than others, and it's a strange future we're looking at.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠@@pessien8474I agree with @luwl labels are unnecessary these days. I’m a music producer from the industry that went indie. There are tons of indie artists making 6 to 7 figures a year from streaming with no label. You can make bangers nowadays with just a laptop and a microphone, so no studio time needed (still requires skill, but you can learn for free on the internet). Advertising, it’s all about social media like TikTok, Instagram and UA-cam which is completely free (just requires your time and effort). Getting your music on streaming platforms costs about $20-80 a year with a music distributor (and that’s a flat rate, upload unlimited songs). My indie music catalog generates $3k a month of passive income from music streaming alone, it’s not a lot but it’s not too shabby for no label and one year worth of work. All done from the methods mentioned above. The indie artists making 6-7 figures a year also use the same methods. So yes, I think a label is unnecessary nowadays. BTW this isn’t the account for my music

      The major labels like Sony, Universal music group, Warner, etc. have forced Spotify into doing dealings with them. You cannot get on Spotify editorial playlists if you’re not signed to a major label. They are in cahoots and they gatekeep success. No matter how many views, streams, followers, or how big you are.

      Well, no. It's not what Spotify is doing. I get people hate the Man, but try to be at least honest about the situation. It's large scale fraud. Advertisers pay to advertise to people, not bots. By going ham with his greed he put a spotlight on millions of dollars in ad revenue that resulted in 0 dollars of purchased goods. Charlie did a gamer supps ad at the start of the video. If they paid him for that and 0 people used his code because all his viewers are fake, but he's.pretending like they're real, he's frauding the company that paid for the ad.

      Absolutely. Ticket prices are disturbingly high. I never blame the artist for that unless, say they make their “cheap seats” like $500 when there’s 10k seats. Like…. Bruh. Good artists make sure they pick venues their fans can make it to (they know their fans, down to how much they probably have in their bank accounts).
      My favorite band, Fall Out Boy, try to make it so we can see their concerts cause they want us to be there. They know they could take all our money and hike prices, but they actually care about all of us being able to make it. I wish I could just show up to the concert and hand my cash straight to them, but I know they gotta pay the light guys, and the sound guys, and the venue…. Bleh. lol

Have multiple friends that quit for similar reasons, and others that rather enjoyed hurting others to progress with their music career(s). Sad to see how the music industry does to people, and the people within it doing to others. Now I just work on becoming the absolute best at what I do for myself, and out of pure passion.

    The music industry was in trouble the moment it got saturated by millions of songs being put up every single day to the point where the only thing pushed these days who is already popular or trendy, and with the focus on quantity not quality.

    The creation of AI really was like opening up Pandora’s Box. It’s opened the door to a lot of good things, but also to a lot of VERY BAD things. It’s easier to scam now than ever before and it’s threatening people’s jobs. Not just musicians and singer, but it also threatens the jobs of artists, animators, and actors. And as it continues to become more advanced I’m not sure what the future holds. There definitely needs to be restrictions placed and very SOON!

      You are correct, but the most thing that is threatening people's ability to get jobs are individuals who don't believe that certain people who are incapable of doing certain things should be allowed to have jobs..
      Use art for therapy, or for fun, to disable to be able to physically do it yourself but still want to make a career out of it everybody else is allowed to use technology but you you got lazy individuals calling and wearing a suit and making the character that's pre-built by the unity engine move making art.
      Even the 100% of it is generated by the AI running the machine.
      They still get to copyright that BS but you don't if you're less than a fortunate to be able to not be able to move or not be able to afford that kind of tech.

      ironically the vast majority of failures in the entertainment industries for the last decade has all been caused by real ass grown adult humans. real "human beings" created Concord, Acolyte, the Disney SW trilogy, SSKTJL, the current Marvel phase, Drake, etc. given the chance I think the AI would question the people that made those for making such anti-customer products
