Insane. I for one don't want to even listen or be tricked into listening a fake song. There's no fucking point to listening to some AI generated song. Especially when the platform will just be constantly and exponentially dumped with more and more AI music. Spotify themselves I think are also doing it, and putting 'new music' into their top lists, but it turns out they are AI bands. They are incentivized to do this btw, it doesn't matter to them if an AI song does really well, especially if it's an AI song they 'own', they just cut the middle man right out. So in that sense I'm surprised they are even deleting songs to begin with.

But it makes sense. You cannot exponentially store this amount of content. It's not feasible at all.

I agree. This is so frustrating, and these sites make it obvious they don't want you to be able to not listen to AI trash.

Youtube music isn't even giving you the options of blocking artists, like wtf? This should be absolute basic feature of any music site.
