Will someone please call AI Danzig and game the system
On this weeks podcast I discuss the recent case of Michael Smith, a prompter, music generator who was arrested for gaming Spotify's system, generating 100 000s of songs with AI, uploading them and then getting bots to fire up his numbers, getting caught after trying to get a 10$ million payout! and how the system is more or less open to complete manipulation....that, the new Danzig single and how for most bands now its about consolidation and not 'growth'support the show over athttp://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillPrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6...sponsored byMetal Blade recordshttps://metalblade.indiemerch.com/promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your orderships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialVerminous Serpenthttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl...Dread Sovereignhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4...Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

Another festival season nearly over...
Simple one this week, with another festival season under my belt I wonder how many more times this happens, the law of diminishing returns! being nearer the end than the beginning, going up against huge bands with your time slot, how the cost of living crisis is affecting merch sales, transient punters, and the feeling that the whole scene is building up a big head of steam once again.....can the centre hold or are we headed for a lot of cancellations over the next 12 months....or am I just a pessimistic chump? or all of the abovesupport the show over athttp://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillPrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6...sponsored byMetal Blade recordshttps://metalblade.indiemerch.com/promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your orderships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialVerminous Serpenthttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl...Dread Sovereignhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4...Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.
