I don't think it's cheating even!!! Who is to say just that Spotify made it, it's even that bad of music!! IDK. Tons of normal people cheat on there too by doing all kind of stupid stuff like 24hr white noise tracks and making junk songs for every longtail search and person possible. Just don't lie to me that's really all I ask.
I do think Apple Music has the better model. I believe it is # of unique listeners based rather than per stream.
How would AI change it?
