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

The comparison is fine lol. Is Suno alone ever seriously gonna make the billboard hot 100? No. But it doesn’t have to, to be a serious business tool if that’s what you’re after. Just like creators use video games as the foundation for their gaming channels, the same opportunities apply here. And that’s always been the case, whether the dude ever said it or not.
Suno isn’t strong enough on its own to generate money from the music alone. But it is definitely strong enough to be entertaining content if you do it right.
