A big part of it is that the more people listen to their generated content, the less they have to pay actual artists.
And it’s why they have one of the lowest average royalties per stream.
Music streaming companies with active anti-AI policies are: Qobuz, Tidal and Deezer
Bandcamp is always worth mentioning if you want to buy music directly
I’ve been using Qobuz exclusively since Feb.

My gripes:
-Catalog isn’t quite as all-encompassing, but it’s noticeably improving.
-The app stops playing in low-signal places.
-I have come across multiple artists that are combined under a single artist, multiple times.
-App navigation can be awkward, but they recently did a redesign that im still getting used to.
