Newbie here... but hoping to find some guidance and best practices for growing my stream farm.
I currently have a catalog of about 300 tracks, across about two dozen artists that I can spread streams across, and several more singles and albums coming on monthly for the next 24 months at least. These are real artists, real tracks, btw. I'm basically a small label and I also bought some albums from an even smaller label that was dying.
Right now, I have six Mac Mini computers running in a closet, five of them on VPNs from different countries and they're on a pair of Spotify family plan accounts. They run 24/7 on playlists that have 5-10 songs per playlist. For me its not about boosting individual song stream counts as it is just boosting overall revenue.
How do I scale this to something more serious? Can I rent virtual machines? Should I try to split each mac mini into multiple virtual boxes? Right now, I'm not doing anything other than looping the tracks in the playlist 24/7. I have felt like its safer to avoid any skipping behavior so it looks far more organic, or at least keeps the play count per device lower to hopefully avoid detection.
