1 Oct
Summary
- Spotify removes 75 million "spammy" songs in crackdown
- Targets AI use by "bad actors" to generate low-quality content
- New Netflix lineup features true crime, thrillers, and award-winning films
As of October 1st, 2025, Spotify has taken a major step in addressing the proliferation of low-quality, AI-generated content on its platform. The music streaming giant has removed a staggering 75 million "spammy" songs in a sweeping crackdown, targeting what it calls "bad actors" who have been exploiting the platform's systems.
The move comes as Spotify aims to maintain the integrity of its music catalog and provide users with a high-quality listening experience. The company has vowed to continue its efforts to identify and remove any content that does not meet its standards, particularly when it comes to the use of artificial intelligence to mass-produce subpar tracks.
Alongside Spotify's actions, Netflix is set to unveil an impressive lineup of new films and TV shows for October. Highlights include the highly anticipated true crime series "Monster: The Ed Gein Story," the psychological thriller "The Woman in Cabin 10," and the third season of the political drama "The Diplomat." The streaming giant is also releasing acclaimed films from Oscar-winning directors Kathryn Bigelow and Edward Berger, further solidifying its position as a destination for quality entertainment.
