Rappers Caught Faking Their Streams

[@CopCamChroniclesOfficial]

Everything online is fake

[@YxsdrEditz]

i mean hes not wrong…

[@TwaaDoIt]

Even you

[@jungleb3atz70]

He's real fake

[@lustbubo4638]

Not really. I've been making 3,000 dollars a month online for 7 years

[@fuckgoogle3335]

The irony of this being the top comment is not lost on me. XD

[@austin-nya4430]

you gonna use DJ akademiks as your source for Kendrick botting the streams for Not Like Us? you know this mf was making up shit and siding with Drake this entire beef right?

[@Eleven_11]

I didn't confirm or deny the claims, just stated what was said during the stream... Also that guy clearly has botting experience 18:31

[@SaintBash]

yeah this seem bias af ... lol not saying its not true.. but according to twitter, Tiktok, and instagram people Fk with Not like Us

[@kryhmeworld1843]

Look, I despise Drake since his inception and have been a Kendrick listener since GKMC. However, if you think Kendrick was allowed to destroy Drake without the go ahead from high up, you're crazy. They are both under UMG and there's no way they would allow their 400 million dollar investment to be destroyed. With that being said, I believe the people obviously chose KDot as the winner but I still think something else is going on here.

[@mraysacalo7302]

You can fake it as much as you can but those live stadium performances will definitely expose whose the real artist and how big is their fanbase. Music companies need to just give it up and face the music , no pun

[@blissy75]

When Drake faked his streams on Search & Rescue that’s when i knew the industry was cooked

[@JamSome]

The future is going to be robots (artificial streaming bots) listening to robots (AI musicians)

If you look at it from a Business perspective its in Spotify's best interest to show insane numbers while Apple doesn't even need to make money from music.

[@emjay121]

When Katy Perry’s new video was released, I noticed the video had 6,000 views but over 100,000 likes 🤔🧐

usually thats just a glitch

[@narcisjr]

My family and I are responsable for 10 milion views of Not like Us

[@StefunnyStrange]

Your editing skills are kinda insane. And so is your delivery of comedic parts of your narration.

[@amethystamaris]

Hopefully you cover the opposite, there's labels and artists paying to suppress artists too so their numbers won't accurately depict their reach on major platforms. Digital suppression is the labels secondary "payola" tool

[@charminglove8594]

Do have any evidence on that? Because I am very interested on this topic.

[@amethystamaris]

@charminglove8594 myself included but the major ones I’ve seen first hand and heard about from the artists themselves or the label execs are Mÿa, M.I.A., Bebe Rexha, Hoodrich Pablo, Young dolph (before passing), Santan Dave will have high numbers but is geoblocked, Majid Jordan, T-pain, there’s many many artists that get throttled or digitally suppressed, it’s expensive so it’s something not the average Joe can do

[@charminglove8594]

@ that’s crazy cause I’ve heard and had a gut feeling that this might be happening

[@amethystamaris]

@ yaaa it’s been a common practice and what happens is artists can get psyched out and stop creating because it looks like no one is watching, but each label & DSP I’ve sat with had a marketing budget for “Playlisting” and also a “competing budget”, the competing can be conveyed like it’s for awards or billboards that exceed marketing, or going to events with your peers, but in the background that budget can be allocated unbeknownst to the artist for suppressing their competition.

[@amethystamaris]

@ I learned about my digital suppression from execs at Spotify, Atlantic and ovo. I even had vps step in to help me get my accounts like triller and LinkedIn back that were flagged because of the throttling and once I stepped out of their scope of support the suppression reappeared.

[@isaiahholguin]

Great editing as always!!!

[@Eleven_11]

yo thanks bro!

[@user-mc3qv4pw1p]

drake accusing kendrick of botting is straight up projection

[@FluffyandDixie]

Both are doing it obvs. They are both puppets pushing a trash agenda

[@swatkabombonica4103]

I just assume half of those artificially boosted are front for some money laundering

[@themotiavtionzone]

I promise you more people know drake around the world and have heard his songs then kendrick. I'm from a third world country and everyone knows drake songs and none rlly does kendrick unless u know english

[@officialLWH]

@@themotiavtionzone Well yes but Drake is much more marketable thank Kendrick's lyricism.

bro every girl in my law school listens to drake, and im in the whitest part of Pennsylvania, no white/asian/latina girl listened to hiphop before this nigga started singin

"They Bot Like Us"

[@tigana]

This was an awesome video. Please more about music and shady technology practices.

[@SonglyWryt.Bon-Burr]

All highest streamed artists do this. With how well all those mid drake albums did its not shocking that they buy streams.

[@jdog5200]

I knew about this what blew my mind is the pages that look real

[@pinasiansunjukaninge302]

Great documentary I love this, this explains a lot of weird things,

[@superdupergi0]

*I do believe that Not Like Us was stream botted* it makes perfect sense

[@nategray4989]

Same here and Drakes new tracks are lowkey botted

[@aftermodesmusic7440]

It doesnt make may sense Go on every content creator channel and look at kdots songs vs drake's song You'll see that kdots songs perform 10x higher than drake's songs

[@TKOUndergroundMusic]

great video honestly! thanks

[@Eleven_11]

Thank you!

[@TKOUndergroundMusic]

@ you’re welcome!

[@CT-Records]

I think Neilson Soundscan was a good move. KZbin and video streams should count into the total plays. It incentivises the label to drop money on the music video as opposed to the artist themselves, and that also creates jobs for videographers and set/costume designers. I do agree with the general consensus of the video that stream-farming and boting has becone a huge problem.

[@raptru267]

its a tricky game out there my bro

[@AdovianDones]

When streams are bought with enough money the public will never know. Ken randomly breaking records 12 years in speaks for itself.

[@GENUINEKAI]

plot twist Russ is faking streams too

[@yopearytube]

Cap I'm a Russ follower from 2015 and I seen him grow so unless you got proof point me to it

[@GenuineRSA]

​@@yopearytube He said it himself in an interview my boi, search Andrew Schultz and Russ interview.

[@TheMissingxtension]

@@yopearytube Prove what? Hollywood accounting, payola and lobbying. are all part of the business. Spotify can't ban bot account's because they loose year over year growth. X does it, KZbin does Auto play, Netflix counts a views after x minutes, and doesn't disclose numbers, yet they are still eligible for awards.

[@xdxdhehe]

you have the voice of an angel

[@bent6301]

[@Diggy22]

Botters try to hit people up on social media all the time, be it for IG likes or Spotify or SoundCloud streams. And considering how many mid and mediocre artists have come out in the past 5-7 years have managed to dominate the charts out of the blue, it’s not surprising at all.

[@Iamchrisshorts]

I can see the Travis reason .. he was nothing even after the double xl feature I was like ok. And even he becomes one of the biggest sellig artist ever but how no one was checking for him fareal

[@trentonbates3114]

I dont have a dog in the fight i swear, i dont really listen to either artist. But why would one of kendrick lamars dudes pay for streams then tell akademics (an obvious ovo head) about it? Like outside of russ wouldnt these whistle blowers get blackballed?? 🤔

[@sobered1344]

I wish this video had 1 billion views to make a point 😂😂😂

[@Le_Petomane]

The Kendrick one is so false. If you dont know the culture, it was a big reach and cope from a nobody cild, not saying it hasn't been done. Its been dissproven multiple times.

[@DreamsInHD]

I personally played it 213 times in may alone I’m not a bot I just wanted to support Kendrick plus the song was everything a rap song should be in a battle.. he checked all the boxes except for the album box lol

I’m sorry Kendrick not like us not fake I got 50s asking me to play the song n it still hits now so 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Mk43305]

I dont understand whats the problem here ... if a song has 1k or 1mil views it stays the same song for the listener, ppl dont go off on numbers man

[@AnthonyAnalog]

You need to re-record your intro and re-upload this. Spotify got on Ak's neck and made him redact the Not Like Us gaslighting.

[@Shambam24]

How did this flop re upload bro

Just like Tyla fake spotify streams. KZbin subs and fake followers on insta. She gains over 1 million followers in 3 to 4 weeks but comments and like dont say so.
