This is obviously a major bug in the system or t least a worldwide conspiracy targeting my ambient-cumbia-speed-metal EP. You know what Spotify says she didn’t listen to? My EP. You know how I know that? My mom told me she listened to it. Plus, the app is just riddled with bugs! How do I know this? My band’s EP has zero plays.Ī band made an album of SILENCE and it has many more plays than my EP. While it allows artists to be heard by a wide audience, it also depreciates the monetary value of music in general. Your music may even be removed from Spotify.Spotify is the subject of much debate in the music community. Spotify may withhold royalties, correct stream numbers, and chart positions. They remove user-generated playlists that offer paid placement and violate Spotify’s terms of service. To combat artificial streaming, Spotify is taking action against fake streams. The only way to pitch music to our editors for editorial playlist consideration is by submitting your track on Spotify for Artists.” “You can’t buy your way onto any Spotify editorial playlist. “Anyone who says they get you on any Spotify playlist for a fee is not telling you the truth and is not affiliated with Spotify in any way,” Spofity says. Advertising, creating visual content, music videos to grow your channels instead of putting all of your budget into something that isn’t going to give you the fanbase that you ultimately need.” “If you have money that you’re able to reinvest into your career, then reinvest it into channels that are going to actually provide a return that is long-term. “Don’t do artificial streaming, that’s my big message!,” says Dee Childs of Reach Records. Spotify says its only fair that every artist has a chance to earn income and fake streams take royalties away from hard-working artists on the platform. Legitimate streams are exactly what it sounds like – someone clicked on your music in Spotify to listen out of interest. “We have a huge team of engineers and researchers working on detecting, mitigating, and removing artificial streaming activity across Spotify so we can protect artists and their legitimate streams,” says Sarah Childs. Spotify tracks unusual listening patterns and flags streams that are potentially suspicious. Artificial streams from bots and hijacked accounts are fake streams and they hurt the music industry as a whole.
