"Those royalties are going to the artists that listeners love, that they’re listening to, artists that we all love, those verified artists, those human, authentic artists.

"When we look at the sort of entirely AI-generated music that people worry about, music that’s industrially produced, less human input, we see [and] every other streaming service sees well under 1 per cent of consumption is going to those tracks.

"Listeners don’t want it … and we’re really seeing low consumption there.

“What we’re hearing from fans and what we’re seeing on our service is people want to listen to and are seeking out authentic human music.”

    What’s not to be serious about? KEXP is a well known source for tons of great music, including up and comers, and their sound engineers are unparalleled.

      maybe type into ai, what is the difference between a radio station and spotify and have it explain it to you, it’s like explaining why the sun isn’t the moon, it’s just not even comparable

        What are you on about? They suggested checking out KEXP for people looking for new music. Don’t see anybody claiming it is Spotify.
