Love that they don't pay any royalties for AI music right now, unlike Spotify.
- k__ 3mo agoSo, their incentive is to promote AI music, since they don't have to pay royalties for them.
- esafak 3mo agoHow so? People want to avoid it.
- et-al 3mo agoListeners will likely want to avoid it. But "creators" pushing AI music won't tag their slop as such because they want to monetize (surprise, they're not doing it for the love of the game). So this hinges on Tidal being able to reliably identify AI-generated music.
- brk 3mo agoTrue, though it seems like at least 75% of the traffic on various social media and streaming sites is content that people want to avoid, yet there it is.
- elicash 3mo agoI don't agree with the overall point, but what they are saying is that if Tidal makes a "lofi hip hop mix beats" playlist, then they have to pay a nickel to an artist if they direct the user to their song, but NOTHING if they direct to someone who uploaded an AI song. So that's an extra nickel of profit for pointing to the AI song. In reality, I don't think this is how it'll shake out. But it's a valid argument.
