I have roughly 5 years of experience in this game and managed to generate tons of streams on amazon music with manually interacting with accounts on a daily basis. Worked with a team of 4 people until end of 2021 and we managed to use 600 accounts at a time by checking remote server full of bluestacks emulated devices once in the morning and at night time.
The process was simple everytime, check if devices are running, if not restart the app (or in the worst case the whole emulated device) and play the library on shuffle, if yes just continue to the next remote sever and repeat.
Game changed in beginning of 2023 though and we had to switch to spotify which seems to have either a streams per day/ month threshold or a combination of hours played per day and interactions done with spotify.
In theory these interactions could be in the form of playing the library, adding songs to the queue, closing the app and opening a few hours later, streaming public playlists, skipping songs etc..
The problem I have so far is that my online tool is a macro recorder, since I don't have any experience in coding and programming so a fully automated system is really hard to achieve and will need a HUGE amount of test scripts until you find one that works.
Let's say I manage to make a 24h macro recording of me using spotify for a day, while streaming my own tracks from which I have over 100 live on spotify at the moment.
Do you think the algorithm would detect the interactions that are made from an account if they are made everyday, even if it are like 20000 different actions? (with action I mean everything like tapping on the screen, swiping, entering a letter, home button, adding to queue etc.)
If anyone wonders in the past I had over 5000 songs live at a time, but everything got deleted because of a stupid mistake with my automated song release script, which ran through on online artist name generator in the process of entering the metadata and used the name of real world famous artists 3 times out of 5000 uploads, which then led to my distributor (i didnt use classic independt artist distributors cause the flag everything over 500-1000$ a month in royalties) thinking I am trying to copyright fraud and closing my account and freezing my royalties.
With my old team we even had over 15k songs online at a time but that is another big chapter for its own.
Thing is from this thread - the people here are just using this for money not to promote an actual artist.
Are you actually able to push an artist from independent to semi-famous at least ?
