I wouldn’t leave Substack right now, but I would also make your stuff available elsewhere. I think we’ve reached the moment where AI needs to get better at distinguishing stuff globbed together by AI vs. stuff made by humans. With regards to Substack, this means for me personally less use of their algorithmic playlists (which keep changing on me, which is annoying) and which we discover are filled with aural wallpaper not generated by humans—and therefore royalty-free for Spotify. This pertains specifically to Brian Eno, whom I have always enjoyed listening to while working. In short: no more “Ambient” or “Sleep” or Campfire” mixes from Spotify for me!
