Spotify says it's removed 70 million 'spammy' tracks amid AI-generated music flood - KOCO
KOCO is reporting on the story above. It caught our attention because it may affect readers checking their internet or a specific service on SpeedTestTools right now.
Streaming music should be simple and enjoyable, but junk audio quietly ruins the experience. When digital filler floods a platform, it clutters your personalized recommendations, disrupts algorithmic radio stations, and consumes your mobile data on tracks you never wanted to hear. For ordinary listeners, that means spending more time skipping through bizarre background noise just to find favorite songs.
If your daily mixes have felt a little strange lately, take a moment to look at what is playing. Watch out for unfamiliar artist names, strange generic cover art, or tracks that sound like short, repetitive loops. Use the option to hide songs or tell the app you dislike a track to train your algorithm back into shape. If songs vanish from your saved libraries, do not worry that your internet is acting up, as the platform is likely just clearing out the junk.
Taking a few seconds to prune your feed keeps your streaming running smoothly and ensures your recommendations stay authentic.
