I have no idea what Deezer is, and I'm afraid if I ask, somebody is just going to say "DEEZER NUTS!!!" and I will realize it was a big prank.
It is a less shitty alternative to Spotify, while costing less. They are also paying artists considerably more.
The last sentence is a little scary to me, not because it's a bad thing, but because it's probably catnip to scammers/AI generators. I hope they can do a good job of detecting it and keeping those scammers at bay, and not paying them for unaware listeners' mistakes
Not necessarily, if they are more hostile towards that kind of "content" than in this case Spotify, it isn't necessarily more attractive to AI scammers.
As far as I have read they do a lot to prevent that. AI "artists" (shartists?) don't show in the all tab when searching, don't get added to radio mixes, and dont get any payments from Deezer. Their AI generated tagging seems pretty accurate, I just wish it was exposed in the API so other projects could use it

Music streaming like Spotify or Napster.
Spot deez nuts!

You couldn't infer from the headline?
You can infer Deez Nuts.
Lmfao gottem
From the headline? No. But I could have just searched for it, or read the article. But it's more amusing to make a slightly amusing comment.
