I've had an account since about 08/09 when it first started. Y'know that personal top one hundred songs of the year playlist everyone gets? They used to give you a personal top ten songs chart weekly. I'm so used to them removing features people like at this point, I expect them to disappoint me
Well Dimmu Borgir album cover for Puritanical Euphoric Misantrophia is kinda re-edited because of boobs.. BUT In sorte diaboli is still showing some boobs.. So well ehm doesnt it included all or what? xD
Imagine the outrage from the pop community lmaooo. (and the metal scene but in a way it's worse for the pop lot because they would be dealing with heavier music than they like rather than dealing with weaker sounds)
Sometimes it's just better safe than sorry. Plus, you never know when they'll just change the rules and then punish people for breaking that rule before it was a rule.
Not a fan of censorship, just add a 18+ parental control system and call it a day. Doing the "..." Search test did give me some results that I can reasonably understand this kind of reaction to, but in that search only 6/40 were actually pornography. and of those 6, They were all either playlist or podcast covers. Maybe make it harder to find these if you are young, but I'm not a fan of censoring legitimate song/album covers. Especially when it seems most offenders are users vs artists themselves.
Yep, an artist needs to be able to express themselves, and banning the artist because someone doesn't agree with them is wrong. However, I am equally in favor of protecting kids, so there does need to be some kind of parental control setting.
@@AdmiralJT Pretty much. Its like the 8 year olds walking around with 1000 dollar iphones. An the internet now is even worse than when I was aging into it. I'd say limited access starting at 13-14, then around 17, who cares. They are old enough to go train to die in a war, they can have the internet.
TH-cam had a similar issue a while ago, something to do with commas and periods that causes issues with search algorithms and causes the track/video/whatever to evade the sites usual checks, how this has lasted the multiple decades the internet has been a thing is beyond me.
My son is in a band and recently did online interview. He was asked what was a complaint about the music industry that he'd change if he could. He mentioned having a friend in another band. Insanely talented but unsigned and they got something like 1.5m plays on Spotify but only got paid $60. Bands often go unrecognized and aren't paid their worth.
once i was on spotify and searched "Anime Slam" because I heard it in a video and was interested by the name, and the album art of one of the first resuts was a picture of a anime girl fully naked in some bondage and was also covered in blood... woopsie
@@MrCkibb12 OH NOW I UNDERSTAND HAHA, yeah, true, now that you said that... Let's see, Nik's voice is so calming I could easily fall asleep. Now it's better😂
@@DalanorTheLlama Ah, those are probably a lot less regulated, I assume it’s the recreation of the album cover and not the original anyways, which is hard to say whether it should be allowed or not
you are high, I'm high, Spotify's employyes are high, everybody's fookin high man. that's all I have to say. those are the results you get for being high at work.
To be honest, I add pics of sheilas to my playlists images, but they're not completely nude. I just do it because when I pull up playlists, I'd sooner see them than a bunch of blokes in the bands.
Spotify is run by incompetent human beings maybe it's me but I feel like there's still a lot of hate towards the metal genre and it personally upsets me that they took down some playlist also with this issue of explicit whatever da f... a lot of artists especially in hip hop should also take the fall for this if they are following their rules and what not or living up to their rules
Spotify’s level of stupidity sounds very familiar with a certain place that I know. I don’t want to go into details because I don’t want to get in trouble. But I feel the same way.
What gets me is the Nirvana album art for Nevermind is still up. Personally I never understood the social "repulsiveness" of sex and nudity here in the states. I remember being in Budapest when I was young and we got a flyer put on our windshield advertising a "crazy pyro show" that showed a woman with flaming nipple tassels twirling a fire staff. And it was on everyone's windshield for many blocks. Art is art, probably gonna have western karens going after famous sculptures and statues because they're naked.
These nsfw podcasts are so incredibly annoying. You don't even have to type a periodt or a comma in the search bar to get instant access to this stuff. All of my friends (myself included) get this stuff recommended even though the song we searched for isn't anything graphic. I absolutely hate it and I hope that Spotify is going to fix this as soon as possible. I don't want my little sister to listen to some extremely graphic nsfw audio right after listening to baby shark!
Well, to be fair there is a Spotify kids. Maybe don't let a child use an app with "adult content" so called. Basically what I'm trying to say is don't censor mature or adult targeted material just because someone was irresponsible and let their kid on a site unsupervised.
Spotify also removed the explicit tag from some random songs idk I guess they got a new algorithm, but I noticed that specifically The Fool by Fleshgod Apocalypse and Hide the Knives by Man Must Die like it's weird, but not too big of a problem
Yeah, I've noticed a lot of songs the should be tagged aren't, and some that are tagged shouldn't be. Case in point: Every single song on Blackgrass Gospel's self titled album is tagged as explicit, but there are a couple that don't contain particularly objectionable content. But not a single track from The Architect of Extinction by Ingested is tagged.
Quite some years ago, there used to be at least one COMPLETE ALBUM with something like 25 tracks on Spotify with just the sound recordings from different porn videos. PornHub, but for your ears. Like literally straight up, hardcore, cheek-clapping, loud howling and moaning, porn recordings. There's a lot of wierd shit out there
Hi! So, uh... Yeah, I myself have actually stumbled upon those uh... let's call them 'hardcore' images, on Spotify when I'm trying to just listen to my music, and it gets annoying. I'll just try to search for an artist or something, and sometimes even when I'm at school because I listen to music when I do some schoolwork, then I just feel like I have to just throw my phone out the window because of those images that decide to pop up. Luckily, I haven't run into too many instances, but there were a few where I was just shocked that Spotify somehow "allows" this. 😭
I think Spotify in the past has deemed art of violence and all this stuff not a violation, but actual photography is. Cannibal corpse covers are still up, but Carcass had to censor their first two album covers
I don't understand why Nik as an artist doesn't promote Tidal more to his audience. Tidal pays the highest amount per stream and if you get the hifi+ or whatever it is called. 10% of your monthly fee goes directly to your most listned artist. This way I can influence which artist gets my money instead of artists I don't care about, getting almost all the money from my subscription.
Always wondered how slam bands could get away with theit stuff on Spotify, but at least that's hard to find. I've also been recommended some noise stuff with nudity or just uncomfortable artwork. The fact that you can find actual nudity and p0rn that easily is pretty insane, though
Me with my mp3/flac library I've been building since I was 10.... I've never really understood why streaming services took off like they did. The iPod generation was fine. We had our music, it wasn't overly compressed to stream resulting in crap quality, playlists were ours and content could only be deleted by you... Decent music apps can still do local content and lossless at that. Sure, it requires more effort to download and transfer stuff and you have space limits, but it takes away all the streaming bullshit. So you go ahead and have your drama the next time some artist gets cancelled from Spotify or your kid finds stuff on there that shouldn't be there. I'll just sit in my corner with my little library I don't have to pay monthly for the privalege of it being altered without my consent. "This song is unavailable" Lol not on my phone it ain't.
Advertisers eagerly jumped at the chance to advertise for Game of Thrones which is intentionally violent and cultured, but will ditch other platforms for people violating TOS. They don't care, they just care too much about the pearl clutchers.
It's not the case with my spotify account. I live in Ireland and the period thing doesn't work and torsofuc k has no image. There's still some pretty gnarly art still up like I noticed all CC arts up and even real filth like devourment.
One question to us in the Rock/Metal community, Why haven't we all united and formed a app that is ONLY for metal and rock music like for example. The app will ONLY show rock and metal music, From Elvis Presley to Infant Annihilator. Rock/Metal bands can put there music videos on the app and have it be however they want it to be and you can choose not to watch the video and do what you can do on Spotify and just listen to the song by having your screen off.
Most likely because it costs a shit ton of money to licence various artists to a new music platform, coupled with the fact that it's probably too expensive to do that for a single genre. Most of those bands would also probably prefer being on platforms with the most possible listeners, aka big platforms like spotify etc that have the most music and therefore the most new people who can get into your music. I think it would be awesome to have a service like you described, but I think it's commercially not an interesting or viable business plan
So while watching this video All of a sudden I started thinking just imagine if in the Porn world they decided to adapt pronouns... Spotify would Identify As Pornify And Spot-Hub 🤣
I don't think it is ok to create a playlist or podcasts and then add very explicit images as cover. However I don't have a problem with content that contains pornographic audio material. This is nothing that can be found by accident (at least if it is named properly). Maybe Spotify needs something like a kids/family mode (similiar to the mode Netflix uses).
If your search bar autofills straight to porn with a mere , or . then it just means you're searching for a lot of porn. Same as if you're suddenly getting a bunch of sex-related ads.
Sadly not suprising but if I wanted spicey stuff there’s literally site for that kind of audio and imagery I didn’t think a . , would get that but at the same time I’m not suprised eaither I belive TH-cam had this issue as well in the past …
i don't know any other way. again a problem that would be easy to solve if you would do a proper age verification but it counts more every user. for the same reason i can't buy any indexed or uncut games here on steam. by the way like bandcamp does search for rape trauma syndrome ;P
*What do you think about all the recent events regarding Spotify? - Playlists being removed and now this?!*
This is all insane.
It started with horrible updates and it's getting downhill. Just waiting to not be a student anymore to go bandcamp to stream my underground bands
This is bullshit wtf like bruhhh give them back to us and stop this shittttttjfbfnfnfnbdbfbfnf

Next thing we know, Spotify is going to merge pop playlists with deathcore playlists.
If mixes new core and pop we wont even notice
Ill freak tf out
NO
Imagine the outrage from the pop community lmaooo.
(and the metal scene but in a way it's worse for the pop lot because they would be dealing with heavier music than they like rather than dealing with weaker sounds)
Great! Maybe the basic npcs will realize how shitty and bland pop music is.
Great, a music service that gets blood flowing to all the wrong places. At the wrong time.

It's the loud noises he makes where his voice cracks a little. It reminds me of my childhood, being screamed at all the time. Oh such nostalgia.
Spotify just needs to basically just add a safe search option
A kids version, exactly.
Start censoring shit and soon all our favorite songs will be gone or censored to hell like on the radio. Fuck that noise.
So kids don't get scared by searching I Cum Blood.
Just remember that Torsofuck is on Spotify
They have censored the album cover art for a long time though
Do you know THAT Mayhem album cover? Yeah it's still there.
I just looked, it’s not (unless you were meaning the pigeon one, but I assume you mean the Dead one)
That was fast. But a few playlist still has it as a cover.
@@DalanorTheLlama Ah, those are probably a lot less regulated, I assume it’s the recreation of the album cover and not the original anyways, which is hard to say whether it should be allowed or not

There is nothing wrong with any Cannibal Corpse album cover. I wear my Tomb of the Mutilated hoodie everywhere! I get compliments all the time.
Well....talking about the DeathMetal playlist, It's not like spotify is an expert in creating metal playlists😂

I don't ever use Spotify. Channels like yours are how I keep up with the general type of music I listen to.
idk how slam metal bands are still allowed... some of that art is **SPICY**
not to mention they show pretty much all of the material spotify said wasn't allowed
Respect to the person in chat who said "My 9 y/o favorite song is Assault And Batteries" for letting their kid listen to INK.
Spotify needs to merge Kpop with Baby metal, Trident, Band-maid and other j-rock bands into one playlist. That must be their next move.
Cardi B pressured the spotify admins to remove all other content except hers which is considered controversial.
FACT.
Would not surprise me. This is the same lady who used to drug and rob people, so.

Most of those bands would also probably prefer being on platforms with the most possible listeners, aka big platforms like spotify etc that have the most music and therefore the most new people who can get into your music.
I think it would be awesome to have a service like you described, but I think it's commercially not an interesting or viable business plan
So basically deathmetal bands can't be themselves anymore
Rocket Queen is still on Spotify...
the commas actually worked wtf
Searched for . and got Beethoven. Perhaps there's some algorithm following the authors preference at play here.
Spotify has a filter to make "E" songs not appear, why didn't the parent have this on?
So while watching this video All of a sudden I started thinking just imagine if in the Porn world they decided to adapt pronouns... Spotify would Identify As
Pornify And Spot-Hub 🤣
Four commas gave me metallica
Did you say beasting or bee sting?
God forbid they find Gwar or something...
I don't think it is ok to create a playlist or podcasts and then add very explicit images as cover. However I don't have a problem with content that contains pornographic audio material. This is nothing that can be found by accident (at least if it is named properly). Maybe Spotify needs something like a kids/family mode (similiar to the mode Netflix uses).

They pay Joe Rogaine $500mil for what, 2 years? Yet they can't pay bands properly. Fucking ridiculous.
If your search bar autofills straight to porn with a mere , or . then it just means you're searching for a lot of porn. Same as if you're suddenly getting a bunch of sex-related ads.
