Spotify farming in late 2024, an important step

[Ostrym]

Hi,

Given that bot detection methods have become more sophisticated, and that farming is no longer as easy as it used to be, you need to be even more ingenious. Whether it's analyzing the device on which Spotify is running, the user's behavior or network flows, you need to be very vigilant on every point.

As a reverser in Android systems, I've already been able to focus on developing modifications to an Android emulator, allowing me to impersonate any phone model, simulating any phone property. Having tested this emulator and the bot I have developed, I know that it flies under the radar.
The part I need advice on is from people who have experimented with different types of connections, by vpn, residential proxy, or other. In your experience, have you ever encountered problems with certain types of connection? What would you recommend based on your experience?

Thanks !

Not sure if it still works or not but I used to do all streams proxyless. I know it sounds ridiclous since many people kept saying that botting proxyless is dumb. But it worked for me so I continued with it until my Spotify Api bot stopped working so I just gave up on Spotify completely. I might comeback to it again but not sure. But I used to do it in september 2023 so it is a year ago so I am not sure if it still works or not but even in 2023 people were saying that proxyless doesn't work but it did.

Thanks for your reply. How did you manage proxyless, how many accounts did you run on your IP?

So you are using android emulators to start listening?

Exactly, but a recompiled emulator, with a modified ramdisk, that I modified accordingly, to avoid detection, because using a raw emulator is a lost cause.

Windows or macOS ??

if I am not mistaken I think I ran around 1.7k accounts on one IP. It sounds really ridiculous that it worked but it did somehow. But also before I fully stopped with botting I noticed my accounts getting password resetted or fully deleted. It could be because of my decision to go proxyless or because they were non aged accounts or both. But nevertheless most of the streams counted and paid. I would recommend you to just experiment with proxy and without proxy because I am not 100% sure if proxyless still works. I wish you good luck!

I wouldn't recommend it anymore tbh. Due to scaling issues and claw back on revenue the return on investment is so low.
