Spotify Deleted 75 Million AI-Generated Tracks – and It’s Not Done Yet

SMRTR summary

Spotify removed more than 75 million AI-generated "spammy" tracks over the past year to stop bots from draining royalty pools meant for real artists. The platform isn't banning AI music entirely; it still allows AI-created content when creators hold proper rights and show genuine creative intent. New tools target fake metadata, bulk uploads, voice cloning, and artificial streaming to fight the growing flood of low-effort, algorithm-gaming tracks.
