There's a lot of artists today who don't do that?

Plus vocal correction in general has been done for ages, it was just much more labour intensive before autotune.

There’s a lot of artists today who don’t do that?

That statement is true by itself ofc. However, my point still stands because there have never been more artists using purposefully misadjusted autotune than today and there are even genres now in which it is mandatory.

How is that relevant to my comment? Sure, vocal correction is what Autotune was initially developed for but as we all can hear that is not what they do with it nowadays, instead they purposefully misadjust it to create the most unnatural vocal sound possible ...

Issue: "I don't like music where autotune is used to heavily modify the singers voice."

Investigation:

There are artists which do not use this type of effect in their music.

What to do:

You can listen to music which does not incorporate this type of sound.

Examples of other sounds you may avoid if you do not like them:

Screaming, the tuba, Ed Sheeran, etc.

No, that is not my issue. What I am unhappy about is that genres I started to listen to when there was zero autotune abuse (and which I loved very much), have been ruined for me because now 80% of the releases have Autotune robot vocals.

Nope, there are many details that define the style of an artist or a genre, if they use Autotune is only one of those. I am certainly not going to listen to artists and genres I do not like, just because they use their natural voice.
