“I was even more horrified to find out that, for years, under its so-called “Perfect Fit Content” (PFC) program, Spotify has been systematically replacing real artists’ songs with low-cost stock music—often under fake artist profiles—on its popular mood playlists like “chill,” “jazz,” and “peaceful piano,” in order to reduce the royalty rate they pay out to musicians.” https://open.substack.com/pub/terrraincognita/p/the-algorithmic-culture-collapse
