I've been botting for a couple years now, and first hand experience I can say that they 100% can tell if you're using the same ip, when I first started I tried the "10 accounts, on 1 laptop, no VPN, no proxy, using McGee autoclicker to change the songs every 30 seconds" got a email from spotify pretty much saying my plays look suspicious but they still paid me, did this a couple times and got that email a couple times before the first removal of the album happened, still got paid, reuploaded the album and that's when I found a "famous" bot, and that's when I started using proxies, (takes money to make money) for a while I was doing pretty well, netting around 2k profit a month, for about 3 months, I have proof of this if you would like. but then I started getting greedy, sending 100k streams daily to my album that had very little social media relevancy, running plays 24/7 from 10 static non rotating proxies, to the same couple songs over and over. All I saw were money signs and I ignored my common sense. I think a major reason was because I was relying on this as my only form of income and I was getting desperate. spotify paid me once again but they had enough and banned me from uploading anymore from that distributor. either them or the distributor banned my uploads. So after that I took a long hiatus, life needed my attention, but now I'm back at it, but now I'm changing my methods again. This time along with the advice of the "famous" botter I am making playlists and adding other artists songs to those playlists, or just playing other artists that are similar to mine music to make it a little bit harder to detect my single artist profile, ive learned of a way to negate the lower royalties by selling this service to other up and coming artists, and honestly I might just do that instead of trying to send streams to my own artist, it's faster money and it's more money than I would make myself, I might just use the money from my service to propel my own musical career but that's for another story, but yeah have to share the wealth to be successful in this scenario, I've also been building my account database since my last ban, I'm at almost 10k brand new accounts, I think the trick is to have as many accounts as possible play a song or album as little times as possible from as many locations (ip addresses) as possible. YOU CANNOT DO THIS ON 1 IP ADDRESS please grow up and use your common sense, spotify is the world's biggest website for royalties (other than youtube) and you can sign up for free, please explain to me after all the other artists that have finessed spotify why they would allow something as simple as 1 ip address manipulation slip through there ever changing security measures. If you are the head of security and you see that one household played a song from a person no one on your team has EVER heard of nonstop for the whole month you're telling me you wouldn't suspect ANYTHING? Yeah okay. Stop being cheap and making it easier for them to detect us. With my 10k accounts and quite a few rotating proxies (once again, you HAVE TO INVEST SOME OF YOUR OWN MONEY TO MAKE MONEY WITH THIS METHOD) I'm calculating i can play 1 artist or album per account per day and be safe, not using the same account again until the next month along with my service and just playing popular songs and spotify curated playlists should keep me from being undetected, cus why would spotify ban accounts that are getting there playlists traffic making them more valuable, right? but i will keep this thread updated or create a new one if this one disappears, also if you're looking to use my service I offer the lowest prices available and i work quickly, I have 5 different pcs just for spotify streams, all capable of 10 threads each
