"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

FWIW, I do believe there are Spotify-exclusive artists and Spotify-first releases.
But, Qobuz and Tidal both pay artists significantly better than Spotify; I recommend Qobuz. YT Music might be slightly better than Spotify for now, but Google is taking all the enshittified parts of Spotify and trying to do the same things to YT Music as fast as possible.
Yeah, YT Music is even worse because of the monopolist concern. If they replace Spotify, they basically own the entire music world. Artist literally could not reject YT Music without throwing their career in the toilet (via being absent from all of YouTube, and undiscoverable on what's left of the web).
Anyway, I was also thinking of Pandora. But there are tons of good music streaming services, big and small.
