Spotify is apparently loading up their Jazz playlists with artists who do not exist.
What are they up to?
My initial theory is that they're testing out some kind of AI music creation machine.
The guy in this video poses the idea that they're just doing it so they can take all the revenue from the streams, but the problem I have with that is that it's Jazz music, this would be like pennies they'd be making from it. The audience just isn't that big, sorry Jazz fans, no disrespect.

Maybe they're copyright trolls, they're everywhere
Background music for cringe indie bookstores and the like.
>Jazz in the background
basically sums up the state of jazz in 2022
so theyre taking like royalty free or ai generated music and creating fake artists for it? based
Jazz for the back of the bus lol
>mindless smooth jazz is easy to make
>normies don't expect anything of quality hence "jazz in the background" lol
>enough people throw that kind of playlist on without actually caring what they're listening to
I think it's really just as simple as spotify realizing they could pump out a few cheap smooth jazz albums and then push those to the top of these playlists so they don't have to pay a dime in royalties and no one who listens to this crap would care.
this. i would do the same with lofi hiphop playlists
smooth jazz is basically the same thing as muzak. little more than background music or elevator music
Anons know this is bigger than Jazz, right? These copyright trolls stole music from bungie and even that video from door stuck, everything can be stolen by them
Or it could be a label with ties to Spotify that are trying to make their artists look ''underground''.
Anybody who intentionally listens to smooth jazz, especially as background noise, would be unable to tell any of it apart so that's pretty smart.
Same shit with those fake ambient albums they were putting out. You could probably do that for 'lo fi hip hop' too because these people simply do not differentiate in any capacity.
they own multiple facilities of all different purposes. maybe they stream the music there and get streams that way.
Thank fuck I never use the curated playlists.
I think it's clearly because the background music type playlists are pretty popular and it doesn't matter that much what the music is
Spotify has great curated jazz playlists for current artists with reputable artists like State of Jazz and All New Jazz as well, but then in the 52 "moods" playlists there's kind of an interesting mix of lists with no-name artists and lists with well-known artists
Jazzy Morning appears to mostly have artists I've never heard before, but Good Morning Jazz has almost completely well known artists
while I'm a big fan of jazz music, my take on this is that if you can't beat generic modern day "library music" with your own art, maybe the problem isn't Spotify having some playlists of generic jazz
Definitely doesn't sound like ai generated music, it's hard to hide that
I think there may very well be in a comeback of Jazz into the mainstream in the next few years.
I think things are only getting better for us all.
What do you think of DOMi & JD Beck's album?
...never heard of them until now.
thank you for pointing them out to me, music is saved.
God forbid of anyone gets tricked or mislead into believing their trans or "nonbinary" or anything.
If you can make music without artists when who gives a shit. Music is about actually LISTENING to it, not to paying some faggot to make it
Incredibly cringe and not good. I have no idea why anyone would listen to this when there are so many good jazz artists playing actual jazz.
