The platform also removed more than 75 million spam tracks entirely for serious or repeated violations. It combines several signals: listener feedback, upload patterns, metadata and third-party AI detection tools, whose limits it acknowledges. More than 300,000 artists are now verified, and Artist Profile Protection will be available to all artists by the end of the year. AI Credits, launched in April, also let artists disclose AI use.
