Maybe got flagged as fraud stream that why don't be same numbe, distrokid only show legit paid stream. If some that stream is mark as fraud they don't pay you.
There's a but: those streams were initially lower (there were more or less 2,000 streams on September 30th), and started growing only on October 5th/6th. It may be that they will still be paid, but within next payout, regarding October streams since they have been added later.
I received 999 streams through Sep 1st and Sep 25th; I got paid only for 970 streams by Distrokid this weekend.
What distro are you using? If it
Why Indonesia though? What is the pay per 1000 stream? You need to share proper details. How many artists, devices and songs did you use to get this number. Because Apple has adjusted how they count the stream now. If a song is played more than certain number of times a day, it wont count for payment
Apparently one Indonesian stream is paid about 0,00210$. I'm using two laptops, in which I use about 30 free trial accounts each. I found a girl from Indonesia who sells one Indonesian free trial account for less than 1$ on X (Twitter).
Why not just go for UK or USA trial accounts By this calculation, 78,000 stream will generate $156 for Indonesia while USA will be $624 and UK will be $1092. Spend some more to earn more from your efforts. Its interesting that apple hasnt alerted distrokid about your streaming source though
I haven't tried other countries because these accounts for which I paid for are already made by this person using some virtual card. It would be impossible for me to look for local payment from US or any other country for billing.
Apparently free trial streams are paid. If you buy 10 free trial Indonesian accounts, for example, they are paid even if you use the same IP address. I'm using Apple Music for web with multiple browser accounts.
How much time do you spend on these streams?
I stream my own music almost 24/7. Apple Music hasn't taken any action against it so I keep doing it this way
Differences like that are normal! Its not rocket science but rather an estimation what you see in stats!
Sooner or later they will! Be prepared or change your system.
I have different albums that my accounts are playing, so it's almost undetectable for Apple Music
I am doing this since 5 years making 20K a month; nothing is undetectable; better spread more or be sorry later.
This is really large for 30 browsers on laptop. Although i have noticed in recent times that streaming from a laptop pulls in larger numbers than mobile phone, of course with the proper settings.
Yeah, everything is going fine as of now. Let's see next payout what looks like.
