I want to ask is there any free distribution for this ? and if there is an artist that puts their music only on Youtube and hasn't registered or licensed their music can I use it and will the distribution ask for my identity or other verification to make sure i'm the real artist?

There are free distributors who take a percentage of your earnings. You're far better off paying the small fee that a distributor like DistroKid charges each year and keeping 100% of your earnings.

No, you cannot use another artist's music. If you even make it past the distributor verification and Spotify's checks, which is unlikely, the original owner can contact Spotify any time or attempt to upload it there themselves one day, and you'll lose your earnings and probably your account. You need ORIGINAL music.

Checker meaning you're using cracked accounts? I'd advise against it. I can't recommend anything, sorry. I use my own creator.

And I believe that people are making money from this currently. But I do not believe that you are doing it at the scale of which you claim.

You can't use random proxies from multiple countries tied to the same account. One day you have a login from germany to account #1 from isp abc, and the next day you have a login from USA to account #1 from isp xyz? This means you would have to use a static residential proxy and at the very least a dynamic proxy from the same isp to login to the same account over and over.

Unless of course, you're using 4G/LTE, which I highly doubt given the fact that you've stated that you're purchasing these versus just making them yourself.

You aren't giving away the "golden goose" by sharing publicly available techniques for mass management of accounts.

I'll give you an example and allow you the opportunity to prove legitimacy.

What database are you using to manage your 10k accounts, and what method are you using to select a specific account at random from this database?

How are you tracking account selection so as not to overlap?

Paste a specific piece of code for selecting the account from your DB.

Hell, paste any code for doing this and I'll believe you. It doesn't even have to be your code from your bot.

sorry but you're a dumbass. you think selecting an account from a db is hard? dude, how about you go to a code bootcamp instead of attacking others for not posting their profitable bot publically.
here's some db code for you:
SELECT Name FROM Accounts WHERE Stupidity == 'High'
The result would infact return your name.
 
@streamkite Could you please advise from where I can buy some exclusive EDM beats? I tried searching but couldn't found much or they were very expensive. I can't buy very expensive exclusive EDM beats. Thanks!

I'm interested in talking to anyone else who earns money from streaming their songs on Spotify. I've been doing it a couple of years now and making a nice chunk of change with it. Obviously we don't need to discuss specific numbers or details, but it's always good to meet other people involved with the same thing as you are.

Hi Streamkite, can you shoot me a PM? Currently getting started with this, but am doing WH Playlisting and Music Production since ~6 years

I am in this game for about a year. It was good especially in 2019 but with this year I think Spotify has changed something. I've made a couple of thousand dollars in 3 months last year. I made it without any bots or proxies.

I've about 150 tracks and about 2M streams per month. Also, I've 150 artists. All my plays counted until this year. But in January I only got my half value of royalties. And last month I only got %5 of the total.

Does anybody have an idea of what has changed in Spotify?

I think spotify can detect repetitive plays and won't pay for these streams. In my experience spotify does not care about ip or proxies. Your accounts you use to play your tracks will disabled after 24 hours because spotify detect abnormal activity with these accounts. I think its time to find a new way to get %100 of royalties.

they definitely care about ip/proxies. accounts only get deleted after 24hrs if the confirmation is bounced back after the initial sign-up. so you have to find a workaround for that. it's possible

Random popular artists and upcoming ones as well. A large enough mix of music to slot my own tracks in amongst the rest and not stand out. Playtime is randomized as well of course.

for your own content, do you ever have them streamed on repeat? or do you bounce around each stream?

Yes until last month i had repeated them. and it was working. I was receiving all of my royalties. No bot, no proxies. If you check spotify website you can see that they follows account activities. And they disabled accounts which do not looks like real. In my opinion they detect these accounts and doesn't count streams which came from that accounts and won't pay you anything.

I have never get takedowns or receiving no warnings. All of my tracks and artists still online. And they still got lots of streams on spotify artist page but there is no royalties from them.

As said above, they certainly do care about ip's and proxies. Or did you think they won't notice 100k streams all coming from the same ip?

Bounced around, usually on a playlist.

If you received royalties last month in March, then they were for streams in January. So you don't know yet if what you did in March worked or not. The stream count may be correct, but you're not paid until you have the money.
 
I was making 2M streams with only VPN last year. But it's not working anymore. I mean it doesn't count my streams anymore. And i can't receive my royalties.

For example , on 15th April RouteNote paid February royalties as you know. I had over 400k streams only on RouteNote but there was only 1.8k in the report.

ur using a vpn bro lol. u need to buy proxies and have a decent bot
 
i have no idea about bots or proxies. When i search about proxies lots of people say that you should use residental proxies. But these proxies cost too damn much. How do you handle with this? Also how much data these bots use? residental proxies got limits. i can not buy lots of proxies which has unlimited data usage.
