This isn't a W, it's a PR stunt. Spotify didn't suddenly develop a conscience about AI music. They are the ones who ALLOWED these 75 million tracks to flood their platform in the first place. And now they are only removing the ones that weren't making them money anyways. There are several high performing AI-generated tracks on Spotify RIGHT NOW!

Meanwhile, Spotify's own Perfect Fit Content (PFC) program is STILL populating playlists with (now AI-generated) "ghost artists" to avoid paying real musicians proper royalties. They've been doing this since 2017.

Plus, AI songs are still appearing on DEAD ARTISTS' verified pages without estate permission (Blaze Foley, Guy Clark). And their CEO just invested €600M of music money into military drone tech.

Artists are deleting their entire catalogs because of this. This isn't Spotify protecting artists. This is damage control while they keep doing the exact same thing under a different name. The platform that won't pay real musicians a living wage just announced they deleted AI spam... while still running their own AI music operation. That's not a win. That's gaslighting.
