- The entire SOTA ML algo is 'how to min(cost) while just avoiding churn' - not play what you actually want. Just don't annoy you enough that you quit
- This means serving endless covers of hit (real) songs that cost them pennies on the dollar given cover artists don't get custom negotiated deals
- This means producing their own drivel in key categories[1] to avoid royalty payments outright
- It is not a huge leap from producing drivel to producing genAI drivel if it satisfies the equation above
