I'm copying something I wrote on another thread. I hope it helps some of you here.
I have been botting on Spotify for several years now. Take downs are common. My best advice is as follows:
1. You need hundreds of songs. You really can't have too many. Always have a reserve of songs ready to go when your take down will inevitably occur.
2. You need multiple distributor accounts. These can be a mix of multiple accounts at the same distributor or one account at each of several distributors. Or a mix of the two. Don't put too many songs under each account. Try to keep them to 1-2 albums or 10-20 songs per account. This helps you stay under their radar.
3. The distributors that take a cut of your royalties, usually 10-20%, are often more lenient and will look the other way. But not always.
Take downs will happen. I've gone through several. Try and learn from each one. See what you changed or what got caught. Sometimes there is nothing to learn. You just got caught. Move on. Add more songs and keep going with a new account.
I've had success with these distributors. I've also had accounts blocked/taken down by these same distributors. Don't put all your eggs in the same basket!!!
Distrokid.com - They are the biggest. I have many accounts with them. The recent takedown wave in January only hit 2 of my accounts. I probably wouldn't create any new accounts there for a while to make sure they have moved on to bigger fish. And make sure they pay me my royalties on my accounts with tracks taken down.
Soundrop.com - These guys take a 15% cut of your royalties. Their support is awful. So if you don't know what you are doing, your release may never go live. Once you have a release live, they are pretty hands off. Royalties are always paid on time. My blocked accounts were not paid any royalties.
Traxx.space - This is a smaller distributor. They keep 10% of your royalties. They have a pretty strict anti fraud policy but I haven't had any issues with getting paid. I had several accounts worth of songs get removed from Spotify but never a peep out of the anti fraud team. Royalties still were paid.
Onerpm.com - This place takes a 15% cut. Their quality control seems to be a little stricter than others. Any really bad stuff will likely get flagged before going live. I've had one of my accounts blocked here and I didn't get paid my royalties. But another blocked account did pay me my royalties. I'm not sure why.
I'll gladly share as much as I can here since I can't PM yet. Or you can PM me.

Have you guys heard about/considered starting a simple distribution company of your own - heard about services like Sonosuite which from what I know seems to be sort of a template for a whole distribution service, similar to what Shopify is to an e-commerce store. Will try it out, wondering what you think about it?

I was able to find out some more on Sonosuite. I asked a user on Discord who had mentioned looking into this type of thing. He said it would be between $1,000-1,500 in setup fees plus about $300-500 each month in reoccurring "management fees". You pay per track and it's based on how long the track is. I'm fairly certain it's the same platform that Traxx.space uses as I've seen some of my songs show up on YouTube with Sonosuite as the publisher in the credits. The user from Discord said he didn't end up starting anything with Sonosuite because he felt like he wouldn't have all the control like he was hoping for. Sonosuite could still over-rule you and remove tracks or not pay royalties. That makes sense. It is probably not worth the upfront costs of going that route if you don't have 100% control over the operation.

Talked to a guy at sonosuite who sent us some information about the fees - he said that the setup fee (having the cheapest plans which would support up to 1000 songs) would be around 150 dollars a month + 5% on our royalties, but wouldn't be surprised if they have a lot of hidden fees.
Let me know if you know other better services

$1,800 a year seems rather steep. To put that into perspective, that's 90 Distrokid accounts. And that's still cheaper than the guy I was talking to. I'm not sure if the higher numbers were based on more songs or keeping 100% of the royalties. How much does it go up to at 1,001 songs? What happens if songs are removed? Do they close your account? I'm not sure how you can ask those without giving away what you are looking at.
