December payouts should be for October streams, unless the distributor is incredibly slow. But yes, genned free plays stopped paying out in November (for September streams). If you're still paying for them, stop now because they're not going to pay again.
Thanks for you response man...
1) I just need to confirm premium plays will work, please can you confirm?
Don´t you think spotify is going to aim for those too in the future?
2) Also I´m wondering if you have tried Napster, since you can´t see how many plays your song has, you will never know if the SMM panel completely delivered, and by the time the incomplete payment & count arrives, the refill guarantee will be gone... Also the cost for napster plays is much higher... don´t know if it is as profitable, seems risky...
I´m a real artist and recently this was my income for a living, right now with covid there are no concerts, presentations, etc... Tough times are coming... I´ve been doing this royalty stuff since 2 years ago, no one said anything about this and it worked well, but now I guess the end is coming, I´m just sad I didn´t escalated it more, didn´t saved any money, i bought seriusly expensive audio gear that i will probably have to sell since i created a considerable credit debt buying free plays, they always payed and where cheaper...
About this practice:
I just want to say guys, upload real songs, real songs that when a real person listens they will enjoy it and save it into their playlist, if you dont know how to create a song produced and mastered professionally, PLEASE pay a ghost producer & a master engineer on Fiverr, support the community of musicians and the industry so you compensate what you steal, because yes, I´m ashamed we are stealing, but everybody wants a piece of the cake and the big Labels are using this as well, it is just not fair...
