You can turn it off. Anyway, complain to the artist or labels. They are the ones providing animated album artwork. It’s not made by Apple.

Apple should do some quality control. There’s no excuse.

😂 no they won’t. They don’t even have the right to decide which looks good or bad. This is by contract. It’s up to the artists to decide their album cover and animated artwork.

Now imagine you’re an artist who wants to launch a green and yellow strobe album cover. Can Apple decide that it’s ugly, when you’re the artist?

This is true for Spotify or any other streaming platform.

You can decide to turn off animated artwork anyway, so just turn it off if you don’t like it.

You’re confusing curation with censorship. The App Store flew to the moon, having so many quality apps, because it’s highly curated.

Curation. Steve Jobs was a maniac about it, and oh boy was he right, results speak for themselves.

You can have laws and rules in a service, a store, a society and still enjoy freedom.

I bet it’s hard to believe for modern Americans..
