You could say, if you don't like this, just don't use Spotify. The problem is that this dilutes the listening audience, and thereby the earnings, for real musicians, who are already seriously underpaid by Spotify. The end result will be fewer professional musicians, and lots more AI-generated slop everywhere you go, not just on Spotify.
