I would love to help you out here and give you the best advice I can on this subject.
Okay, so first I want to start off by giving you the music platforms I would recommend avoiding.
1). Apple Music
2). Spotify
3). Amazon Music
4). YouTube Music
These are the Top 4 that I would avoid trying to fraudulently stream as this will ultimately lead to getting zero payouts and getting your music taken down.
Let me explain,
So for Apple Music and even Amazon Music, if you try to bot and stream farm this it’s a pretty much a guarantee that they will ban you, get your music taken down from every other music platform as well and depending on your distributor they will likely, majority of the time withhold your royalties indefinitely.
Now with Spotify, this is very very complicated. To be able to successfully start a streaming farm you not only need to use a substantial amount of Premium paid accounts (not free accounts that are created using a bot) but you also need high quality rotating Residential/ Mobile 4/5g proxies with a very large pool of IPs. I’m not just talking about a few premium accounts either, I’m talking about spending thousands of dollars in legitimate paid for accounts.
Furthermore, if you choose to use phones, this is also going to be very expensive as you will need a substantial amount of phones. Or if you choose the bot programs, you still need to invest in a functioning bot program that utilizes protections to help avoid triggering flags that will get your artist streams marked as suspicious and thus fraudulent.
Spotify has evolved incredibly since 2020 and they have been actively focusing on fraudulent streaming activity and successfully made it their mission to prevent fake artists and those who are illegitimately inflating streams from getting any payouts. They will certainly either withhold your royalties or they will pay you out cents, a lot of the time even without taking down your music so that you keep doing what you are doing and spending money hoping to get a good payout. Trust me when I say, you will likely lose your investments and you will throw money down the drain if you peruse trying to bot on Spotify.
Just think it takes 3 months to get a payout on Spotify. In that 3 months say you spend $1,000 a month. So after 3 months you spent $3,000 and you are hoping to get a $6,000 payout. What will end up happening is you’ll get maybe if you’re lucky $20-$60 for example. And you will likely keep going because you think well they didn’t take down your music, maybe next month is when the big payout will hit.. Well 9.9/10 it won’t ever come. And so you will certainly be down and lose money.
For the beginners trying to get into bot farming, I would never recommend getting into something as complicated and complex as Spotify botting. Years ago before 2020 before there was massive influx of botters; it was profitable having a Spotify bot farm. But sadly, with how advanced Spotify has got with artificial streaming intelligence. The average Joe will not be able to beat their bot detection infrastructure.
There are however platforms out there that are much easier to game the system. That doesn’t require such a huge investment and that’s SoundCloud. This is coming from my own personal experience over the course of the years ever since early 2016-2017 when I first started getting into music bot farming. I’ve experienced the highs and lows. So take it from me, those are the platforms to avoid.
