Spotify removed 50M+ low-quality “slop” and spam tracks from recommendations and tightened filtering for badge-labeled AI-persona artists. The single concrete change is that it removed 50M+ tracks. Discovery will show fewer spammy tracks and will exclude AI-persona artists from recommendations by default.
Why it matters
Spotify says it removed 50M+ slop and spam tracks from recommendations and now keeps badge-labeled AI-persona artists out of them by default. The change is framed as prioritizing “human artistry” in discovery.
