Spotify uses an automated filter to identify and stop recommending music uploaded in bulk using AI tools as spam — tracks designed to game the system rather than reach real listeners.

Announced September 25, 2025. In the prior 12 months, Spotify removed 75 million+ spammy tracks. The system flags suspicious content and removes it from recommendations without necessarily deleting it entirely. Part of a broader set of AI protections for artists announced alongside new impersonation rules and AI disclosure standards developed with metadata body DDEX.
