Spotify streams won’t count

In my experience it's too high, and although it's only 3k per track per day, by the end of the month you're up to 90k streams on a single unknown track. But if it works for you, that's good news.

That's why you need an assortment of records, I currently have 5 phones and 10 BlueStack Emulators running playlists of my tracks. Once a day I manually change the playlists they listen to other Spotify playlists to make the accounts look more real. I get about 900-1000 streams per song per day to play it safe.
I just got a distrokid message about new earnings coming soon.. Lets see what we got. Hope y'all good earnings!

If Spotify is making a change by no longer paying for tracks that make less than 1,000 streams a year in 2024, it's because people like me who have been farming in spotify for years, we're really flying very, very low.

You'll be pretty disappointed with the earnings. :(

As I said before stop wasting your time on Spotify. There are other platforms out there that pay x20 to x100 per stream with trial accounts too compared to Spotify. Look for the sketchier ones too, especially those from specific countries.

If you've got already "legit" albums that are doing nicely use your monthly reports for hints for those platforms.

Also send your albums to your country's royalties collectors like SACEM, GEMA, SIAE, PRSfM, KODA, etc., if you're in Europe for example. Opt for aggregators that give you 90%+ of your earnings and provide all the options for royalties and social media platforms. Some platforms still offer 100% earnings with a one time payment instead of yearly recurring fees, and they go light on takedown notices. Look out for the lesser known ones in this category too. Distrokid sucks in that regard.

You'll end up getting paid twice once from the aggregator platform and then from the royalty collector too.

That's about all I'll say on this topic, so please don't bother PMing me about it.
 
In terms of payment per stream, the highest is generally Apple Music, then Amazon Music, then Youtube Music, then Spotify. However, this ranking needs to be qualified, because it depends on whether it's a premium or free account, and then you have to take into account the user and his or her characteristics, duo account, family, subscription price, etc. Finally, DSPs have different payment latency times. Apple and Youtube pay the fastest, and little-known DSPs sometimes take 6 months to pay royalties, so there are many factors to consider before making any assertions.

Don't use vpns for farming, Desktop pays less than phones even with premium accounts.
Don't stream more than 3000 streams per song per 24h.
I reccomend you to use a physical phone farm and use 10 phones max per IP adress.
how many phones you use
