re: #55 Alephnaught

Hm, so, there’s now a story about Spotify adding “fake artists” (Cheap non-industry filler) to their main genre/mood playlists.

(EDIT: The story’s actually been going around for a while, but it’s just got legs now.)

Not to sound stupid (I don’t use Spotify and I don’t know the in’s and out’s of the music industry) but how is anything fake if it’s tangible? If you can listen to it isn’t it real?
