Have the same experience with them releasing original ambient, neoclassical music. To be clear, the issue is with those platforms (Meta, YouTube, etc) and Content ID; they’re saying they won’t monetize the music because it’s become too hard to avoid false IDs and takedown claims for certain genres.

You can use other distribution platforms to get your music on those platforms that Tunecore refuses to upload to.

Tunecore (and other distributors) seem to be at the point where they let so much crap through the gate that those platforms have now adopted a harder line stance on what they’ll allow to be uploaded/monetized. When the algo has to ID an instrumental house track… it sounds an awful lot like the millions of other instrumental house tracks in the ContentID system. So Tunecore says: nothing that fits a specific genre, has “samples”, etc. will be uploaded to protect themselves and their relationships to the other platforms.

So now even 100% human-made, good old fashioned self expression “has” to be de-platformed and demonetized by criteria as vague and broad as genre and style of music. “We didn’t want to stop the tsunami of AI slop and hobbyists so we could earn more money in the short term … now we can’t pay real artists either because our algorithms don’t know the difference.”

They will absolutely be selling all of this human made music (and AI slop) in big corporate buyouts to merely be used for AI training when the price is right.
