Or, you know, just don't use a service that allows AI slop in the first place.

    People won't sacrifice anything for their principles anymore... "It's too inconvenient!"

    Was so easy to swap over to tidal. (not perfect, I know).

    I've even gotten a family plan and offered family what amounts to free service.

    I've sent tutorials on converting their libraries using a super easy service that's still less $ than just continuing to pay for spotify.

    They are still on spotify because it's easier than giving a shit.

    I made that mistake with Spotify, got a family plan years ago and hooked my sister + nephew + niece up. Now if I want to cancel it and they lose their playlists, they'll be all pissy.

    Qobuz will transfer all of their playlists for free in just 2 clicks, it's part of their onboarding. And their music will suddenly be higher quality to boot, and the artists actually get paid for streams. Just letting you know your options.

    I've tried to get so many people to switch to Qobuz. "but my super obscure metal band that nobody's heard of isn't on there." 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    They won't lose their playlists. When you cancel premium it just switches to the free plan. They'll have ads and won't always be able to play the exact song they want, but otherwise everything else will remain exactly the same.

    There is https://soundiiz.com/ which works really well even with their free tier. I think I have transferred all my playlists from Spotify > Apple Music > Qobuz > Youtube Music` by now :) Unfortunately it does not help with convincing family members :(

    Tidal had the same issue until a few weeks ago. Now they also put an AI badge on AI music and give you the option to never hear it.

    If you care about music/musicians you wouldn’t supportt a platform that’s constantly scamming musicians.

    Just search “artists suing Spotify”

    They made their own AI music to steal even more revenue from artists to themselves. Fuck Spotify.

    And don't stop there!

    Add badges to songs (or options to not play them at all) if genAI was used during its creation.

    Thank goodness that the stupid masses will now stick to boardroom slop summer hits pop playlists, which also don't pay the musicians jack shit, and reward people who don't give a fuck about the art form.
