I came across a song that was a very obvious ripoff of a popular song by Ghost (Mary on a Cross). It was basically the song itself, except with slightly different tone and tempo, and random fadeouts. Spotify apparently does not have any plausible method of reporting this shit. Now I'm basically fighting my music addiction to finally get off of spotify, but the lack of decent alternatives is a bit troublesome (most of the ones I can find are at least as bad with AI, or monstrously more expensive).
