Spotify give artists feedback

I love going down informational rabbit holes. Pasta. Smoking meats. Government cheese. Obscure egytpian advertising campaigns from the mid 2000s. It’s a weird part of who I am, but I’ve embraced it. Learning about new things is fun. I’ve listened to metal for a long time and lately I’ve been on a music documentary kick. I recently watched Metallica’s Some Kind of Monster doc, which I quite enjoyed.

If you know the metal scene at all, you’re aware that Lars Ulrich is both legendary and highly controversial for his style of playing. I haven’t listened to enough of their live performances to form an opinion, but I did have an idea. What if you could provide artists with feedback on their songs?

In theory, this could be nice, but in practice, this would 100% devolve into ruthless trolling. Without extremely stringent controls and filtering from LLMs, I don’t see a world where this feature can exist and be productive. Fun idea though.
