i wanted a cover of the song "The Unkillable Soldier" from Sabaton by a woman for a long time now.
So i thought lets check on fiverr how much that would cost and a lot of the top "artists" are AI

the scheme is always the same
* joined ~2025
* 5 stars with 2-3 reviews
* prices starting at ~9$
* no video singing
* 2-3 songs on preview

these are AI voices

Spotify a recours à des "faux artistes" (des compositeurs sous pseudonymes payés au forfait) pour remplir ses playlists le plus populaires et payer le moins de redevances possible aux artistes indépendants https://harpers.org/archive/2025/01/the-ghosts-in-the-machine-liz-pelly-spotify-musicians/

Smudo zu Spotify: "Die ist Idee ist ja auch super".
Fred: "Die Geschäftsmodelle leider nicht".

Gefühlt kotzt es alle an aber es geht die Erzählung das man das ja heute machen muss.

Mein Vorschlag: Abwenden und mutig anders machen! Geht schon.

Kultur entsteht durch kultivieren!
