And that one was particularly interesting, Brittany, because the Rolling Stones put out this music video where they used AI technology to like deep fake younger versions of themselves.
Oh my God.
And it was for that same single.
I also reached out to the Stones label and they also did not get back to me, so.
And interestingly enough, the influencer told me that they asked him not to talk about the AI in the video.
So it was kind of like a trying to shift the narrative back into the music, like to talk about the song and how great the song was and to not mention the controversy over the video.
But yeah, I think a lot more artists than we realize are probably participating in this.
The influencers told me it's a really common practice.
But I think those two examples just show how
this is happening across the board.
If you have someone who's like an up and coming pop star with their first viral song and then you have the Rolling Stones, it's like safe to assume a lot of people in between those two levels of success are probably participating in some kind of social media paid campaign.
To be honest, most of them expressed some kind of unease with the whole thing.
You know, some of them said that they didn't want to feel like they were selling out to the music industry.
They all said they would only accept payment for songs that they would be already likely to promote or like
that they would reject a song promo if they felt like it didn't already fit the kind of music they usually recommend or didn't already fit their taste.
But for the most part, there seemed to be a real gray area in understanding like the legality around what it means to accept money and not disclose it to promote a song.
And also I think
There seemed to be some confusion about the sort of moral and ethical guidelines around these practices because I think, you know, in the old school days, if you like worked at a newspaper or a radio station or some kind of media company, there was probably some kind of ethical handbook that you were supposed to adhere to.
There was something that like everyone kind of understood was like best practices and things that are frowned upon.
I think influencing is kind of the wild, wild west.
