The irony of Spotify acknowledging artifical streaming and trying to ban innocent artists rather than swap to an artist-centric streaming issue which would both pay indie artists more fairly and remove the financial incentive from artifical streaming speaks volumes about the company.
@tassamusiikkia6 ай бұрын
It does. This also speaks volumes about the way to come. It seems to me that many independent artists do not enjoy the situation with Spotify, yet they keep using it, effectively coaxing their fans to use it as well. This is kind of like... I don't know, bad analogy but voting for the dictator and getting all your friends to vote for them too. I'm nobody at all, 30-40 monthly listeners on Spotify, and I'm in the process of removing everything from there. It's not like I'll miss a paycheck by doing that, lol. That's either 30-40 monthly listeners less for me or 30-40 migrants to Tidal. Worth it.

This reminds me of a time when I was a 10 year old, some grown man at a baseball game came up to me and threatened to bash my head in because I was chanting “hey batter” (I suppose it was his kid at bat). When my dad confronted him about threatening a child, the man said to my father: “oh sorry, I didn’t know it was *your* kid”. That’s essentially what’s happening here. Money is flowing into independent hands and so they are strong arming that money on behalf of the big labels because Spotify is in bed with the big labels. When they did it to someone who had the clout to confront them about it, they weaseled away so as not to alert the press. Benn is right, if this was a lesser known artist, they would have bashed his head in for having the gall to compete for listeners. Spotify needs to get raked over the coals for what they’re doing. It’s not okay regardless of who they’re doing it to.

Yes, the stores in New York in 2002 wouldn't let me buy Beastie Boys and RATM albums but that same year I traveled to London and bought them anyway. It was the year where the most banned albums were sold. The Grammys that year were the worst and most corrupt, due to records sold and songs played in the mainstream of the United States and the rest of the world. In 2024, even the business of banned songs and albums is a business for the police and the government, because censorship is also a business, never play a censored song in Central Park, if you don't want to be arrested. A month ago, I saw how a homeless man addicted to fentanyl was arrested for playing prohibited music that was broadcast on a commercial radio... not even the homeless man was arrested for drug use and possession. Censorship is also a multi-billion dollar business in the United States. But Beatport, Tik-Tok and KZbin also commit corruption with multinational labels, to make money with the most viral artists and banned songs, they demand certain conditions and payments from you that they then recover themselves. Influence peddling is a common practice on the internet, but in real life it is much harsher and more blatant. Everyone wants money, everyone is corrupt.

I think Spotify is under orders from the major labels to get rid of the indie artists and just artists in general they don't control. It started with the 1,000 stream threshold and will go from there. The 3 major labels aren't competing against each other per say but rather against unsigned indie artists and artist signed to small independent labels. They hold us in contempt feeling we are inferior. One of the big shots at Sony has said that. My question is have the labels taken a good hard look at Spotify's Top 10's? Rick Beato has done this and routinely concludes that on average seven of the tracks don't even qualify as an actual song. They are usually two note or chord vamps over a trap or samba beat with bland insipid lyrics. These songs are coming from UMG, Sony and Warner including their subsidiaries. They aren't good in other words.

I mean, if they take themselves off the botted playlist spotify's algo put them on, what's to say the algo will not just put them back on. Users can create playlists, which may get botted.

CD Baby is aware of our situation, they were informed via Trustpilot - i wrote a review yesterday to get their attention and within a couple of hours I received a notification from Trustpilot that CD Baby required more information - yeah they’re just trying to take that 1 star review down. Our support ticket is labeled as ‘open’ aka not being processed since last Friday. CD Baby also viewed our band’s instagram story where we (politely) outed them and asked them to bring back our album. Our artist stats aren’t showing anything unusual. We had around 350k streams for our album, which was released in 2021.

Until we collectively say, NO, pull our catalogues, and refuse to use platforms that don't value our art, we can all expect more of the same abuse and worse. When you lay down with trash, inevitably, you end up smelling like garbage. That's the sad truth about these platforms. Screw Spotify.

The guy has quite an international following and his music was suggested to me by other music fans on old social media.

Tune core sucks! So many main stream artists and labels use bots

I do not get it... Way do they pool all subscriptions, it seems that if they just stopped pooling subscriptions Spotify would solve most of there problems.

Not in it for the streams, so I play it 100% straight in music and life really, but I've never had a single problem in the years I've been with tuneCore. They make money on streams; it behooves them to keep the music up, if they don't, it's not usually a tuneCore issue from what I can see

We need to union and independent agencies to countdown all the streams On all platforms like KZbin and stuff so the people who are running the numbers cannot play the game they want and I think this would be the answer of this problem

To me it looks like Spotify is using some kind of AI algorithm to detect artificial streams and it has a very broad brush. There was a video of a guy who wears ski goggles, I can't think of his name at the moment, who had the same thing happen to him but he got the majority of the streams from Spotify's own playlists.

since 2000 we told all these artist stop drinking the koolaid with digital platforms, because THERE IS NO RECOURSE. Vinyl cost is 3 times higher than before, cassette tapes cost more than ever before, and CDs are coming back, it is amazing how all these artist get sucker punched EVERY TIME. You guys are wasting your money supporting a pyramid scheme. Anyone knew who will come and rock the cage is gone get taken out by the majors just look at orchard music. It is time to shut it down completely, you dont need a platform, everyone has basically a cell phone that is as strong as a server. You can just connect with everyone the way you want, we have over 70 years of music history just go look back how every time the artist finds a way to shoot themselves in the foot.

I got posted stuff on yt and facebook about what i found that was shady as back traced stats... guess what i got threats from 'some company's', so i actively removed my music self as had it, as will stop paying anyway now so f them and the major manure they came in, i don't care as don't even get enough from them to pay the fees after taxes. If someone random buys plays on my music, how could I even stop that ? Only way are to remove music ain't it… why don’t they simply remove the so called fake streams, and create a list of fakes streams, removed stuff streams before as numbers don’t add up in the end I noticed. Besides I get more from other platforms, x1000 more actually from one other then sp ever payed, so no loss for me to remove it and no more threats so only win win. Have a nice day.

People need to go back to building their own thing. We have cloud now. 0.03 cents a gig for storage is unprecedented. Website, with a music forum, videos on server. Collect fans. Sort of like your own beat selling future producers kind of gig. And when you sell the ad space for 2 gs you get to keep it, lol.
