HEY SPOTIFY. YOU GUYS ADDED MY SONG ON FAKE LISTS. NOW I GOT FAKE LISTENERS AND IF MY SONG DELETED THIS IS %100 YOURS FAULT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I CANT CLICK THE SUBMIT BUTTON

What happens if some bot streaming shmuck puts an artist to some bogus playlist and artificially inflate their streams in order to hurt them by triggering Spotify's artificial stream detection, and then in turn have Spotify punish the artist for a crime they did not commit? How can artists protect themselves from this? Shouldnt Spotify be working more towards tackling bot playlists instead of harming the artists who were put on bot lists without their consent?

She spoke that truth!!!

You will be hearing more from me. This artificial streams crap is a disgrace. YOU removed two of my releases because of 'artificial streams'. I had NO knowledge of any streams being artificial, I would NEVER pay for streams so IF any of my streams were artificial then they were because songs of mine were added to a bot playlist that I had NOTHNG TO DO WITH! The songs were added without my knowledge or consent and I cannot be held responsible for them. I have contacted your support through Spotify For Artists and you have closed the conversation on me 3 times! I have provided all the evidence you have asked for. I have contacted my distributor as you suggested. I have filled in their form giving ALL the evidence required. YOU are now telling me that the distributor removed my tracks on the 3oth June despite me showing you screenshots of emails I had from the distributor saying that YOU removed them on the 14th June. You asked me for a link to the playlist to report it. BUT you refuse to tell me which playlist it was that did the 'artificial streams' so how am I supposed to give you a link to a playlist when YOU won't tell me which one it is!! You say to report any suspicious playlists I see on Spotify For Artists. I didn't see any I considered to be suspicious as the majority of my streams were from what YOU call streams from "Other listener's playlists'. Now I KNOW for a FACT that I have been added to genuine listener's playlists so I had NO REASON to believe that those streams were artificial. On Spotify For Artists, I can also only see 7/88 playlists. I do not have access to any others because YOU won't show them to me. How can I report a playlist if I can't see which playlists I've been on? Which brings me to another point, a point that I raised with your support. YOU ask me for evidence of suspicious playlists. But when I ask YOU which playlist did the artificial streams, you refuse to tell me. YOU MUST know which playlist we're talking about here because YOU were the ones saying you'd found evidence of artificial streams. So where is that evidence? YOU show me the evidence that those streams were artificial. You MUST know otherwise why did you remove my songs? Why is it I have to provide you with evidence but YOU don't provide me with any related to the streams which YOU say you found? If you know a playlist use artificial streams then you know who to investigate don't you? YOU know the playlist in question, I don't. From talking to other artists, it appears it may be one based in Helsinki, Finland which I have told you to investigate. You asked me for a link to it but I am not currently on any playlists so I don't have access to them. If it is the Helsinki playlist, and YOU found the streams were artificial, then you already know which playlist to investigate. I don't know them. I don't have a link to them. I don't have a contact for them. I NEVER submitted my songs to them! If it's a bot playlist, they found my songs, they added the songs without my knowledge or consent. YOU must know who they are, YOU investigate them and stop THEM rather than pulling my songs and songs of other artists who are just victims in all this. I have now had to resubmit my releases. But I know I had some genuine streams on those tracks because I had been doing a lot of promo work for them, including taking out press releases which I showed you evidence of. Now, I have to do that all again. Which brings me onto your corrupt 1000 stream threshold. The tracks that YOU pulled, were getting close to that threshold. Now my streams will be back to ZERO. All because of some possible bot playlist that I had NOTHING TO DO WITH!! Spotify CANNOT punish artists for things they have no involvement in. I am sure that most artists do not WANT artificial streams because they mean nothing. A bot isn't going to come to a gig. A bot isn't going to be moved by your music. There is no satisfaction in artificial streams for a genuine artist. Spotify should be doing more to investigate any dodgy, bot-created playlist and going after them NOT the artists that get put on the dodgy playlists. You should NOT be punishing artists for something they are actually just victims of. Punish the people behind the bot playlists. Ban them. Stop them coming back. Fine them, prosecute them. Do anything but leave the artists alone! I will not be letting this drop and if anyone reading this wants to reach out to me feel free. Maybe we can form a group for artists to stand up against Spotify and protect our rights and our music. Likewise, if you are reading this and can offer any legal help or advice, please get in touch. I will be taking this further. I will not stand for this abuse by Spotify. If anyone wants to stand with me, please contact me. My details will be on my own page.

I dont have my spotify url. Where can I find it?

I'm smoked my bong, and now I'm a verified artist on Spotify.

Pay them more then smh

Orville Peck!? love him

So guys, is there an actual distribution service out there that knows better or is for us?! No evidence no stream playing services, definitely no third parties used and all of a sudden months of hard work and dedication down the drain, someone out there gotta have our back when it come to these corporate machines going after the little guy for doing well. Anyone can give me anymore information on how best to combat this please feel free to share 🙏🏽

💛💙❤️

proud of u Gracie <3 the album is soooo good

If you "feel terrible when an artist thinks they're purchasing a legitimate service", why are you going after the artists instead of those providing the fraudulent service?

Did anyone else receive a general email from SoundCloud with this video link in the body of the message. The email was titled artificial streaming: how it can impact you. It had further general information. is that email standard and sent out to everybody?

Except when someone big enough does it... then I guess "we can give them a pass" ... and they do it, every single time. So... the advice is to leave the gap in place and let yourself be unnoticed because "kids like that kind of music" and "surely it wasn't streamed 5 million times without a reason". The reason is they could skip the algorithm of exposure and its initial CHASM that would leave literally any kind of musical and production genius with 0 plays + whatever spam they managed to torture their nearest network with (if any, I don't even spam, let alone buy views). Worst thing is, if you publish a track/album and they end up unnoticed, it's worse than if you kept it and offered it to a label later. Once your music gets 0 attention it has been "tested" and "proven" as something between mediocre and trash. ADD TO THIS the ONSLAUGHT.... of AI that's underway, an AVALANCHE of AI-generated tracks being pumped out and into the market... and just stop pretending like these kinds of things matter for anything.

👏👏👏

Thank you for that tool 🙏🏼❗

thank you so much 🙂

I just got added to Discovery mode!!!!!

Love the tips! Would love it more if I could do half the things it says.

You forgot to mention "at least 25,000 monthly listeners" required to activate this so-called Discovery Mode. How this is good for new artists?

Just pay to artists the share from users' subscriptions. I don't wanna pay royalties to The Weeknd if I don't listen to him. So only paid streams are counted for royalties. And free streams are only for the statistics.

I think Karen O is soooooo hot.

good class

No

This is cool and all, but half of it you can't do unless you've been accepted into the program, so not all that helpful for most people.

How come only certain artists get on playlists, I know an artist that used to get on playlists now no longer has got on any editorials and they have quality music and a decent amount of streams. 70k per song. It feels rigged. Like everything else. Why are yo charging more to customers but paying less to artists?

Learning a lot from your channel, thank u 🙏

17K streams? Wow! So she earned $5 from all that work, right?

If Spotify added a "For You" page as well as a comments section to each song, then it could finally become an actual platform for artists to post music and interact with listeners instead of just being ancillary to TikTok. It almost seems like they have some kind of backdoor deal with TikTok otherwise surely they would have done this already.

😊 Ty

nice. now make ALL those Spotify features available to the large majority of artists that don't live in the US, France, Spain, UK. too. thx. 😀

When will the feature be available in Germany? It looks like so much fun to use!

Well a lot of these features like Marquee or Clips aren't even available in Switzerland and i've been averaging around 50k monthly listeners for some time now. :(

The irony is that Laufey last year had 30+million monthly listeners I checked and the vast amount was in India...I gather they stopped paying them...

Wow that's very good my Brother's and sisters one love 👋 one day I get there. Cause is not yet in my country Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

Wow that's awesome more vim there my Brother's and sisters 🎉🎉🎉🎉

wheres the pre-release to the independent artistis?

Check out songs by View19

Not available for me in georgia only pitching and artist pitch on my profile is

This kinda feels like a slap in the face considering half of these tools are not available to the vast majority of indie artists...

I didn’t know about clips, that’s sick! Adding to my release plan 🤘

Spotify, why do you remove songs for "fake streams" but you keep the playlists open? We can't even control what playlists ppl add us to. Please consider thinking through this more.

Why would you create a promo video for Spotify features that aren't available to a large majority of artists? Countdown Page aren't available to most artists Playlist Pitching rarely if ever yields a playlist placement for most artists Marquee requires a high amount of funding to see any real effect Clips feature isn't available to most artists Merch feature isn't available to artists that don't use Shopify Thanks for Canvas and Artist Pick, I guess...

Spotify knows how hard artists work to make an authentic connection with fans. That's why Spotify is punishing artists, whether or not they are being nefarious themselves or not, without proof, when it's ultimately Spotify's issue that they don't have better systems in place to go after the criminals who are artificially streaming!

Spotify Showcase has to be the WORST MARKETING TOOL everrrrr made! Like EVER MADE! Trust me when I say this... It's just another way of taking money from artists! DONT USE THIS TOOL! IT BARELY DOES ANYTHING. LIKE NADA!
