概要

 Spotify is currently navigating a complex era defined by massive financial growth, aggressive monetization, and a mounting crisis of confidence among its core user base.

On one hand, the streaming giant is celebrating significant commercial achievements, most notably marking a staggering $10 billion milestone in payouts to the podcast industry and expanding its Podcast Partner Program to further dominate the spoken-word market.

However, these financial triumphs are being met with resistance from consumers as the platform implements across-the-board price hikes for all U.S. subscribers in 2026, forcing users to pay more for a service that many feel is declining in quality.

The primary source of this dissatisfaction lies in the explosion of AI-generated content; as the total number of tracks on streaming platforms swells to an unprecedented quarter of a billion, Spotify’s once-beloved discovery algorithms are reportedly being "flooded" with AI music.

This influx has led to a breakdown in user trust, particularly regarding the "Discover Weekly" feature, as subscribers express fury over being forced to sift through synthetic tracks to find genuine artists.

As the platform grapples with an oversaturated library and a shift toward AI-prioritization, Spotify stands at a crossroads: it is more profitable and expansive than ever, yet it risks alienating the very music fans who built its empire.
