not saying this was aimed at me...but I'm not advocating for some type of elitism at all...but gearwatcher said "Those people really don't give a f**k if Taylor Swift or Suno wrote the happy go lucky nonsense", which seem to trigger folk...but there is truth to this...there is a top 20 song right now apparently made from 4 splice loops,...suno and the like could make that triviallyYeah, that's all cool, but ... if we label average listener as "too dumb" and "not worthy" for our precious art, we're essentially eliminating ourselves from the industry, ain't we?
Also, nobody was born with perfect music taste. Acquired tastes are ... well ... acquired. If we let Daniel Ek and Taylor Swift build the system in a way that their customer always consumes just their product and literally nothing else, they won't have a chance to acquire anything.
And it's not just Spotify. That's just the latest most shiny example of the same thing. Why is there literally no chillstep radio in the air? "Well because Taylor is much more famous." ...well yes, yes. But is that the reason or a consequence?
