Spotify not paying royalties

[mrZucC]

I stream the entire song since I have a few phones and they're all ~2mins or so, but they're also professionally produced with a legit artist

I just throw a VPN on each phone so it's not the same IP - physical devices are IP based and most of the plays won't count if you have the same IP on all of them (from my experience)

Either way, they're making it tough to truly "bot" and it's understandable lol. Back to other things I guess!

Do you think its possible to run a bunch of accounts with vpns from one big server? I think spotify is good at detecting proxies but it would be worth a try

 

[mrZucC]

I think Spotify can detect proxies. When I
tried to set up an account from my remote desktop, they told me i cant do that from a proxy. Also didnt receive any money for these accounts last month

Hi,
Im using vServers and 2 physical pc´s running each 6 vm´s with Spotify. No VPN or anything on the physical pcs or VM´s.
Strangely I am only getting password resets on the vServers which have different IP´s each. The accounts on the PCs are running smoothly without any problems even though there are 6VMs running with 1 account each, and all the same IP.
Also didnt have a problem with shadow bans. I make about 500 Streams per account per day

Spotify is getting strict with bot-generated streams or so-called proxy/VPN generated streams, they will eventually ban you anyhow sooner or later when they find out if you're doing that in bulk.

I run a small distribution handle where I have over 30-40 artists they bring in genuine streams and I have no problems with Spotify or any other distribution medium. Although, Spotify is re-adjusting the CPM even for tier 1 countries due to the recent bump and a couple of changes in Spotify for artists.

Do you deliver your streams through a physical farm like mobile phones or remote desktop? And is it really worth the money paying for 30-40 artists? Since there arent that many distributors you would also have to fake identities right?

Like i said these are small artists and I don't pay them upfront I pay them royalty % and no I don't use any physical farm all of my streams are genuine. Either from playlisting or genuine streams from artist's social media.

Ooh, but then you dont run a streaming farm, you are a musician. Do you even make money with this method? I only could imagine lofi to work there somewhat, but musicians have a hard time on spotify definetly.
I can bot you streams in return for $, we both make profit

naah i am good bro, this is my side gig which I don't overmanage I have people who does all the stuff and I get biannual cut from it doing nothing. I just help my peers on how to connect to artists and get the music going to get thousands of streams by targeting specific audience and I am happy with that.

Probably too short, or too low quality. I wouldnt recommend streaming thru servers, they detected me when i did that, but didnt when I used a regular labtop

how, with proxies?

Guess its best to create a physical farm using labtops. Might be expensive for some but its easy money for me cause i have acces to basically infinite labtops thru my job. Only need some proper vpns now. Do yall know some free vpns that work 24/7?
