Spotify streaming is dead. If anyone wants to take out Distrokid, just start botting songs from their artists. Especially ones without many followers. Remember, it only takes a handful of fraudulent streams to tip the scale and have Distrokid fined €10 per track per month. Remember how...

I've ran bots on and off for Tidal over the years but eventually, after a month or two, I get my account banned by Tidal. Has anyone had any longer term success with botting on Tidal? Hit me up via DM as I've got a method that gets past the latest Spotify news.

It was working for me for several months prior. They might be tightening down.

Napster just suspended all but 2 of my accounts. My music is still there and I can play it still on the unblocked accounts. I hope I'll get the royalties for the last several months.

They pay more per stream because they have fewer users and streams. That means it'll be easier to catch you botting. But do try and let us know how it goes.

This is correct for any of the newer distributors. I am trying a couple that have been mentioned on here recently and have ran into some issues. I want to give them time to make sure it's not a scam. But I feel like I may be getting my hopes up. I have seen my releases getting rejected far...

What do you mean? Your play counts aren't increasing?

It looks like Spotify is blocking every VPN or proxy provider.

Anyone running into issues with Spotify over the last day? The web player is giving a 403 forbidden error.

You will likely spend months trying to earn money with Spotify and then end up with nothing. There is a 3 month delay between when you stream and when you get paid. Almost all botters are caught during those 3 months.

So the 'trick' is just to profit off successful and popular music. Easy. Lol!

There is no money in that any more. Too many shadow bans and unpaid royalties. Don't bother.

Spotify has been slower in paying royalties recently. I think they are scrutinizing the reporting more and more.

Don't ask for specifics on a public forum.

Spotify is dead. Unless you have hundreds or thousands of songs, you will not last. Either Spotify or your distributor will catch you. And if your songs are too generic, you will have a hard time releasing them.
