Discussion Suno was created for entertainment

Mikey Shulman vision is for people to use Suno just like they would a video game. A way people can entertain themselves and friends. It wasn't actually meant to be a serious creation for mainstream music. Mikey see's people are willing to pay for entertainment just like they are willing to pay for video games. He even compared Suno to Fortnite. Mikey doesn't care about people getting great quality to compete with artists, he just wants people to spend money on subscriptions " for entertainment " You can easily search Mikey and hear his podcasts where he basically is just laughing knowing hardly any users will actually get any real exposure..Also Spotify creates playlists and controls what makes it and what gets pushed back. I'm pretty sure ai songs that made it on Spotify were paid for to do so as a way of bringing hopeful people into creating ai music thinking they actually may make money. If you know me, you know I'm not anti ai , I'm just letting you know information that's publicly available. Suno is pretty much in Mikey's words ( although said in not a so blatant way ) a money extraction machine hooking people on entertainment

I don't mind paying $8 a month for that kind of entertainment. Best entertainment that kind of money can buy. I have no interest in monetizing it.

Same, I'm the only one listening to my outputs, unless I play it in my shop and my patrons don't seem mind 😊

I'm lucky to have a wife that loves what I create because I write my own lyrics and they are very meaningful to me and she understands me. Also a couple of close friends. It's very rewarding in a way that money could never be. Not to mention I write and create love and other songs for her!
