> When was the last time you have heard a song without autotune?

Right now, 2025-12-25, 09:00 UTC, I'm listening to a song without autotune.

Everything But The Girl - Missing (Todd Terry remix)

And I can also find thousands of songs without autotune that were released on Spotify yesterday. Seek and thou shall find.

Also it's not clear how autotune is related to ego. No one pretends that autotune makes one a singer. It's but an effect, and quite artsy on its own when used properly. Does compressor relate to it too? Delay? Reverb?

"This song has too much ego, the reverb is 6dB louder than the dry signal"...

How does a sheer number of subpar artists caring only about money (which is of course a thing, but nowhere near a 99% thing, and maybe a problem for those who are too lazy to discern and search themselves) justify robbing truly sincere artists who share their soul with the listener?
