Universal Music Group has put their own greed above the interests of their artists and songwriters.

They want to be paid?! What is this.

... that serves as a free promotional and discovery vehicle for their talent.

Yeah, cause artists (well, people in general) love getting paid in exposure.

"The open letter also said TikTok allows the platform to be “flooded with AI-generated recordings”, and also develops tools to “enable, promote and encourage AI music creation on the platform itself”.

It accuses TikTok of “demanding a contractual right which would allow this content to massively dilute the royalty pool for human artists, in a move that is nothing short of sponsoring artist replacement by AI”."

Universal is just salty they didn't think of stealing all the rights via AI replacement first.

And you still see people on it. What else is there on tiktok aside from stupid dances

[-] GeneralVincent@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Over 1 billion monthly users, about 25% of the people that use the Internet. So quite a bit more than dances tbh

There’s a lot on it.

It’s not just girls in things standing in a hot tub flossing.

I don’t like the company, I don’t use the product. But it is what Facebook was in 2010.

Funny skits, science info, almost real time information about congress stock trades and political corruption in the US.

It's an algorithm based social media platform. There's so much on there beside what you see from clips etc. Just like anything else.

i used to think it was just the dances but then i started dating a girl last year who uses tiktok a lot and there's actually a lot of interesting content on there. it's like a different version of youtube. there's an algorithm.. you like cooking? lots of interesting cooking videos. there's also some interesting political content, mostly leftist from what i gather.

I don't even have tiktok, but I get sent clips of musicians all the time
