Spotify says it's removed 70 million 'spammy' tracks amid AI-generated music flood - WPTZ
WPTZ 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.
When streaming apps get cluttered with junk audio, your everyday listening experience takes a real hit. Automated playlists can start serving bizarre soundscapes instead of genuine tunes, search results get messy, and your home internet data gets used up loading low-grade filler you never wanted to hear. It also confuses your personalized recommendations, making the app much less reliable for finding songs you actually like.
If your daily mixes feel off, check your recent listening history and review your auto-generated playlists. When you spot unfamiliar songs with generic names or robotic sounds, tap the option to hide or dislike the track right away so the service learns to stop playing it. You can also dive into your playback settings to turn off the autoplay feature, which prevents the app from pulling in random, unverified audio the moment your chosen album finishes.
Taking control of your playback settings keeps your music queue clean and ensures your internet connection only works for the songs you care about.
