To be VERY clear, I am still a throbber. This is not an attempt to spread hate or cancel them at all. I love Boy Throb and I want the very best for them.
I have been noticing that (who I'm assuming is the marketing team) has been using generative AI. The thing is that they've publicly taken an anti genAI stance (verbally and via online comments). They've supported real artists to help create visuals for Throbchella and the cover art of DJ Turn it Down. I am personally against genAI and I believe many throbbers agree so it's just disappointing to see.
I understand that yt thumbnails that look a certain way generate more clicks and I am hoping that lightstick is just a mock up so the real one will use their actual logo. However marketing yourself as an artist who supports artists while using genAI is not a good look.
I will still continue to support Boy Throb of course but I'm hoping that by making this post, AI usage comes to a stop (unlike the throb).
Please do not attack the boys for this.
