It’s shameful to read all the folks claiming that actually known famous historical jazz greats are somehow being legitimately usurped by generic nothing music even in the context of background music. What the article discusses is clearly dishonest, whatever your take on the word “fake” Grammy awards are indicative of some popularity and reknown, so not seeing Grammy winners on Spotify genre pages is suspect. There are actual sales awards like platinum and gold and such, and if Spotify genre pages don’t reflect these but push generic in-house brands as top tier products on the world stage it’s fundamentally dishonest as it purports to reflect the state of the charts and state of the industry but actually puts out their own preferences purportedly as the former. If it’s honest it can say : “we would like you try things we recommend” at best… But then Spotify is a virtual monopoly in music streaming services and is not helping either quality musicians or quality listeners. Sure, try to justify it by saying they are a private company and can do what they want, but their dishonesty should be noted and the general bad influence they have on the music industry should be noted, and we who care already don’t use or support Spotify. I recommend bandcamp, among other artist-respecting and fan-respecting services.
