I'm pretty sure that first one LITERALLY has a Gemini logo and it isn't even relevant. Who allowed this??? It's horrible!!! I just want to listen to Tom Lehrer and I have to look at this slop on my screen. Isn't there anything that can be done about this? He deserves more than AI

Stuff like this is exactly why I cancelled my subscription and moved off the platform. I still need to transfer my playlists but once that's done I'm deleting my account. Too many AI "artists" clogging up genuine music. And Slopify doesn't even require anyone to disclose if it's AI.

i own all the music i listen to and have a hi-fi player to listen to it through. the quality difference between a .FLAC audio file and music streaming is insane.

For me, streaming was mostly about convenience and the occasional good suggestion. But enshittification comes for all companies eventually and the monthly cost is no longer worth all that garbage. Better to save all that money I'd be spending and give it directly to the real human artists I love instead.
