I disagree, it is a piece of piss to fake plays. Users of our bot have added 10k plays, 100ks plays with no issues.
Soundcloud does not track IP to plays either IME. I have tested looping plays on my home IP up to a 1000. All plays worked, all counted, all stayed counted and my account is still going strong.
Really? I'm surprised that they don't track IPs... Are you saying if you open your browser up and hit play on some track, refresh your browser, then hit play again it's supposed to increase the number of plays? Our experience differs... Or do you create a bunch of accounts then have them hit play?
Regardless, I don't see the value of artificially increasing play count. I don't get why people think labels care about the number of plays a track gets - there is a ratio of number of plays per comment that's pretty evident. It's different than YouTube because people filter by viewcount... I don't know anyone (or if it's even possible on Soundcloud) that filters by play count. If you have a track with 100,000 plays and no comments then it's fishy to any normal person/label owner looking at it. There's a typical ratio one expects.
If you're response would be "you can also fake comments" in my opinion those are typically easy to spot too. That's why I advocate using tools that help you organically grow your Soundcloud. Just my two cents.
