With the rapid advancement of AI, music stores are building ever more refined and powerful algorithms to identify artificial streams. The only way to counter this trend in the future is to have equally sophisticated software, and bypass the many event trackers and spyware that come with these store apps that detect human or artificial behavior. If you aren't an insider, it can be nearly impossible to find a developer with this specific niche and skillset. Even if they have the skills, they may not have the moral disposition to create such a tool. I know because I been in this game for years. That's why years ago I set about to learn programming myself. A program of this nature is pretty much the highest intellectual pursuit in the programming world (next to something like a 3D graphics engine). It's extremely rare and valuable, and you won't find such a thing easily in the myriad of cookie cutter bots out there. Anyone interested in finding out more can hit me up on TG @Drygord

So there is absolutely nothing wrong in using Playlisting firms that use bots to gain followers/ grow fanbase, and turn a profit? I’ve always been told bots are bad and organically is better. I play in a rock band so not sure if it’s better to use bots ( so long as it’s not an outrageous price)
@ChaosNetwork

@@bassplayer807 It works depending on how you do it. I don't recommend using bots as your plays, likes, and engagement. I recommend using social media's bots to bring you the RIGHT traffic, meaning social media will show your posts to people you target, and you want those people to be people that will actually like your stuff and support you. The labels pay people to run up their numbers on top of fake streams and numbers but for an independent artist, that will hurt you more than help you like you said.

You don’t need to be buying or pushing 1 million streams you can be a small artists and make 6 figures . Besides he ain’t making $80k a month it’s a scam he sells a course for $500 nobody who makes that kind of money is selling you the course unless you are out here scamming epooe that’s what this is

Great convo - love your podcast... but we're a tad suspicious 👀 If bots really are really as great as Chad says they are & all social medias are effectively a search engine, then how come he's only got 2k twitter followers & 12k on YT?? One of his latest videos is sitting at a view-count of less than 1k. Assuming if bots really were the way forward, all of these stats would be in the millions by now... right? Especially when he's a titan in the bot game! 🤖 Now just to be clear... we ain't hatin' on Chad - had a listen to a couple of his songs & really dig his laid-back vibe. Appreciate all the info regarding Ticketmaster too - proper insightful. It's just (through our eyes at least) the convo surrounding bots doesn't seem to add up 🤔 Either way, much love from the UK guys 🇬🇧 & keep up the great content 👍🏼

Man! I gotta call myself out. I remember this story in the media and I completely bought it, the way you described. I was ignorant as f*** and I'm sorry for that. Your words hit me deep. 🤯💎💎💎 One thing I don't understand is how using bots is profitable. My only experience with bots are from DM solicitors. The stream count to cost ratio isn't anywhere close to what Spotify pays out for subscription based streams. The only way for a bot service to be profitable would be through free accounts. And, the country they are streaming from is going to have a greater effect on the per stream payout. Q: Where do you find the right bots to use and how do you go about verifying their legitimacy?

He is switched on, you can see why the only press about him tries to paint him as a buffoon. He knows exactly how the industry works and how to game the game. It is all smoke and mirrors. A lot of respect for trying to educate people on how they been getting played

You have to trust in something*your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life." *Steve Jobs

Great content guys,real gems being DROPPED! As a artist it can be both a freeing & depressing feeling in the music game when you're independent trying to navigate it. I also work in the "lodging industry" & @ 37:23 we do the same thing,create urgency like there are no hotel rooms smh.

Spotify started in America in August of 2011. Chad started getting into bots in 2011 . He would have to do all of his non music bot work in 8 months.
