alt Hacker NewsThis is just a fad. The platforms will soon learn that the vocal minority is not necessarily their best customer. And then they'll slowly / quietly revert their bans or stop enforcing them.
If people listen to music, they like the music, and it can come from wherever. Gatekeeping never works.

why do you think a majority of bandcamp users want AI music?

Bandcamp literally is the vocal minority of music listeners.

These are my thoughts exactly. If people enjoy the music, they will listen to it. If they don't, they wont.

How would this be a vocal minority on a website like Bandcamp, whose whole mission statement is to let people support their favorite artists directly?
I'm sure there genuinely are lots of people out there who would enjoy AI-generated music, but I very much doubt there's a huge crowd of them on Bandcamp, if for no reason other than ideological.
