the future of popular music as far as i can tell is AI smooth jazz, songs from 10 years ago that are randomly viral on tik tok, and chappell roan

We've long suspected that Spotify was recruiting fake artists and juicing them in its algorithm and placing them on the most popular playlists. Liz Pelly collected the internal docs other evidence to finally prove it.

i think what’s actually happening is that it’s never been a more bummer time to work on the biz side of music
30 yrs ago you were being paid to go to dive bars to catch the next nirvana, now your job is essentially sending “subject: love it!” emails to children from tik tok

Pro tip for @Spotify users: if ya dig an artist go ahead and hit the follow button ESPECIALLY for smaller artists. There’s literally no downside to doing this. It’s not like a normal social media thing. You won’t have to scroll endlessly thru a feed filled with rants or pics. 1/3

the #WGAStrike is a good time to remember that songwriters/producers:
- do not have a union or any formalized bargaining process with music streaming
- aren't compensated for any work that's not released
- are paid about 1/10th the royalties of what the artist is paid

i am very fortunate to have a career as an artist and make money from streaming. but the very talented songwriters i work with do not, even if songs they've written get 10s or 100s of millions of streams. this isn't a sustainable ecosystem

very excited for AI to progress sufficiently that someone, with the right technology and prompts, will finally be able to do what no musician or songwriter has been able to do so far: make a good wingtip song

musicians are already massively disempowered relative to labels and corporations. what happens when those businesses can just algorithmically generate 90% of their output?

WHAT’S THE REASON BEHIND YOUR ARTIST NAME!
