But now Spotify and co have a financial incentive to generate as much slop as possible and to push it to their users aggressively. Why? Well cause if their users only listen to slop, they won’t have to pay any actual artists anymore. So you know it’s guaranteed to happen. This is capitalism after all.

That will mean people make music for the love of the craft again, music has sucked because of commercial incentive, maybe this will revive the craft.

Spotify makes more money from artists trying to promote their work than they do from people paying to stream music.
