Same here. I'm considering removing my music catalog from Spotify. Since they can arbitrary flag your music. I'm sure that if indie artists get organized and we all remove our music from Spotify, they will be force to change their rules. They are putting the blame on the artists not the end users.

@@rikuwaves sadly you will not win. You will not get help from Distrokid or Spotify Artist. The only option you have is to reupload the song and hope is not taken down again.

[@Neosentient-fm8uw]

I had one of these fake spikes from a company called Artister. I reported these fake streams to Spotify and wanted them removed, in which they told me to report the playlist, which I did, and they told me they would take care of everything… my music was removed from Spotify… I did nothing wrong and my music was removed from Spotify. Meanwhile, Artister is still allowed to be on Spotify… So obviously something much bigger is going on. It is obvious that Spotify has struck a deal with record companies because they need these bottled playlists to pad their numbers so that they can get on billboard, etc. And it’s obvious that smaller artists are being thrown under the bus to make it look like they are trying to “stop” it…. You need to do a video about how this is happening to thousands of artists… but I have a feeling that you’re probably owned as well, and could never do such an honest video. Prove me wrong. Thank you..

[@Altuz]

Dude that is fucking infuriating. I'm sorry that happened to you. Spotify removed my first album and I remember the feeling when it happened. It feels so violating. The crazy thing is major label artists have millions of fake streams on their albums on purpose and never get their work removed.

Spotify will eventually get in trouble for penalizing the artist. Artists can't control who plays their songs. It is the playlists that do it. Spotify needs to take them to court. Time to get real.

[@Carlosdelavega1]

[@xXaimon]

nobody is gonna get spotify in trouble bud, it's spotify what are any of us gonna do?

[@Neosentient-fm8uw]

I’m guessing it’s much worse than we all think. Big record labels use these botted streams to pad, their numbers to get on billboard, etc. I am certain a backdoor deal has been struck with the recorder companies to allow these bot company playlists. That is why these botted playlists are still allowed on Spotify. Artister is one of those companies and they are allowed to be on Spotify unchecked. Yet any artist who gets attacked by these botted streams will be removed…. That pretty much says it all.

My lastest song was placed without my concent on a bunch of "fake" Spotify playlist. About 2 weeks later I got a Spotify take down notification. Then Distrokid wanted me to sign a document basically admitting I did pay for a promo and that I will never do it again. There's no way to prevent this assholes to put your music on playlist.

[@Spectoral_on_SPOTIFY]

Can u pls make a video addressing how to remove your song from a botted playlist you don't own that has no contact details on it? The community forum at spotify recommended I contact Artist Support directly, so I did. They replied "it is not possible to manually remove your track from a third party playlist" and then told me to try reporting it as a legal IP infringement form to their content moderation team, which is a total joke. I did this anyway, but of course the reported infringement was denied. Am I stuck forever on this playlist now?

[@IndieMusicAcademy]

Great question, and unfortunately, there is not a reliable way to remove a track from a botted playlist. I know this might seem very scary that the bot streams will continue without your permission, but there are really very few downsides as long as you're not using bots as your primary marketing tactic. So I would say, enjoy the fact that your play count is increasing, but realize that this growth shouldn't factor into your _actual_ fanbase growth.

[@MajorMoment]

@@IndieMusicAcademy the downsides are plenty, from serious consequences like Spotify potentially removing the song or removing the artist profile, to "mild" like screwing up your FAL category, which in turn will skew algorithm towards wrong listeners. Long term, this is not mild at all, very serious stuff. Instead of algorithms pushing your song to people who will listen for years, will become fans, buy merch and go to your shows, feeding algorithm wrong info will cause it to not promote your stuff.

[@HandHeldHalo]

This just happened to my latest single which was added along with 99 completely different new songs to a playlist created 3-days ago that is generating 1000's of streams a day in Finland from a couple of fake listeners (click-farm). Sadly it's not just a blip like yours as it's happened everyday since the playlist was created. They've even botted the followers up to 66k in 1-day. What I don't understand is how Spotify's algorithms can't see these botted playlists because the people creating them are not being very covert.. it's blatant! It's driving me mad as Spotify say they can't do anything and my Distributor is helpless. Spotify won't stop the playlister but they'll ban the Artist.. it's gone mad!!! 🤯 If anyone knows how to get a song off these botted playlists, I would be eternally grateful! 🙏

[@FatTonyTheSkipper]

Wait! This is exactly what just happened to me. I got like a boost in plays yesterday, see from some playlist that looks fake, majority from finland. I come onine to find the culprit. I hope it leaves soon wtf i never paid for any fake stuff and dont want it messing with my algo

[@alemonalemonalemon]

Same thing here, getting fake streams from Finland. I hope they stop too and I hope it won't mess my spotify up too much!

[@HandHeldHalo]

@@alemonalemonalemon It may not be any comfort for you guys but they did eventually remove my track after 7-days. Their business model is to hope that the botted artist liked the boost in streams and then contacts them to ask to be put back into the botted playlist at which point they ask for money to place your track back into the playlist. If you don't contact them they will hopefully leave you alone although there is no guarantee they won't do it again. As Spotify has no way to report these botted playlists we have to hope that their "robust systems" (that's what Spotify said to me.. haha) eventually detect and delete the fake playlists. To be fair to Spotify I have seen one of the regular offenders have their playlist disappear soon after putting one of our songs in it. However, they just create a new account and go at it again. Thankfully... all this short term botting didn't adversely effect our algorithm and the "Fans Also Like" remained intact. I hope they leave you alone soon! 🤞

[@ericeracleous9404]

This exact thing happened to me. But because of that blip my followers also doubled from 44 to 86. Though i searched to find the source of the blip i still have those supposed extra followers. They havent gone away. Question is if the 300 or so views vanished overnight then how come i still maintain these extra followers and are they real? Because im sure not getting any extra streams than i got from before the blip.

[@tokyogamer5825]

So this happened to me and I even checked and it says streams coming from other peoples playlist and they are from Finland. What's odd is that when I click on the song, it doesn't display the name of the playlist that's likely being artificially boosted. This had happened to me before, and at that time, I could identify the playlist responsible for the influx of streams. I'm eager to resolve this issue, but Spotify for Artists isn't currently providing me with information about the sources of these streams.

[@Varnum_Official]

Same here, just got about 50 streams from Helsinki, Finland in only a few hours. Playlist owner is WAVR AI and it seems like they have multiple accounts/playlists.

Thats exactly what I think just happened to me. My monthly listeners on Spotify suddenly jumped from 14 to 165 and I checked in my stats in Spotify for artists and it came from a playlist in Finland with one of my tracks ( Consolatio). What makes me think its nothing but botts is the fact that how is it possible that 150 people listened to one of my singles in Spotify and my other 200 singles didn't get any streams that same week?. I suppose if those streams and listeners were organic some of my other released would have been streamed as well .

[@Sg435]

[@lowergroundband]

I’m on day 4 of being on this “Lemon Pop” playlist. I’ve gained 1700 streams on this song per day, and it was only at 3000 before this.

[@AirFoxxProductions]

I will have listeners that will stream my song a lot some nights to fall asleep to.

[@VictorBorbaMusic]

I’m going through the same thing but I got a strike for it. I have 650k+ monthly listeners, with my top song that is Bury The Light which has almost 90 million streams, but one of my lesser listened to songs got a random spike in streams in October for one day and I got a strike for it just now. And I noticed today that another one of my lesser listened to tracks just got a random spike today and I’m worried that will lead to a second strike. I’ve never paid for any sort of promotional services, and so what am I supposed to do about this? Spotify support isn’t helping and it doesn’t seem like there’s any contingency for random unsolicited playlist adds. Hopefully Spotify sees how this is negatively affecting lots of people out of their control and does something about this before peoples accounts get deleted.

[@adamlasher]

Yea similar situation for me. I’ve had two strikes for the same song in 1 month. I used a promo service or two 3 years ago when I didn’t know about this racket. They’re either going to need to change the system or they are doing it on purpose to earn money through finds and kick off small artists. If they continue this policy with out deleting the bad playlists etc we will all leave. I will not remain a listener if my artist page is suspended. Good luck!

[@IndieMusicAcademy]

Great question! The solution is twofold: 1. Letting the bad "bot" data fall out of your recent analytics by allowing time to pass 2. Providing Spotify with better data *aka **_good_** streams from either Facebook Ads or legitimate Playlisting Services* I'm obviously biased, but the Spotify Playlisting service at the Indie Music Academy is second to none in terms of playlist and data quality. Try it out if you haven't already!

yes, forget about playlisting services for a while and focus on running ads, very carefully finding the right audience for you. it's going to take months and months, and it will cost you, but it can be done.
