the way that fake streams distort payments to artist isn't that confusing. basically, the streaming services pay out a set amount of their revenues for royalties, and that gets divided by all the artists they have based on the number of streams. so the more streams on a service, the lower the payout per stream overall. and now more of those payments are going to the people with the fake streams instead of people whose songs are being listened to by humans.

unfortunately, even if you do want to get popular legitimately you have to get fake plays and streams to some degree just to even get noticed and in the algorithm in the first place. but then again I found one of my favourite rappers xavy rusan because he DMd me on instagram asking to check his music out when he had a few hundred views which would probably be the digital version of handing your cd out in public and he ended up blowing up with a million views because a popular creator used his song in an animation about a popular video game.

I worked with a record label during the MySpace days and we would use software to run up our bands plays so that they would stay on MySpace's Top 100 list. I personally did this for several bands including an artist that was on MTV's Making the Band.

@AnAdorableWombat1 7 месяцев назад

@AnAdorableWombat1 Absolutely. This was around 2009 and the program we used could even switch IP addresses. I'd add about 500 unique IP addresses, tell it to create 50 to 100k plays and come back in about 8 hours. You have people right now with millions of steams on Spotify and they are playing club dates with barely 500 people.

@Markaylaa0 7 месяцев назад

That’s crazy to me. So none of this is new. Wow…lol

@IkariPress 7 месяцев назад

@Markaylaa0 I can go even further. Sometimes, when you see a bigger artist on a tour package, the smaller or supporting artist on that package paid the artist or their management to take them out on tour. I was working with a band that was really starting to get some buzz, but we couldn't get them on any big shows to expand the audience. Label head called me and told me we needed to pay a specific band to take them out. I had a relationship with the band. One of my best friends was the guitarist, but the singer hated them and felt threatened by their buzz, so he kept saying no even though everyone else agreed to the tour. I offered to pay them because I knew they were broke. He threw out a ridiculous amount of money. I called the label and told him how much. He had his lawyer draft the contract and wired the money into the bands account. We announced the tour and people were fighting to book the dates. Now we ended up canceling the tour and I personally lost over 10 grand dealing with "diva artists" but there is a lot going on behind the scenes in music.

The reason for fake streams and followers in music isn’t just for attention from strangers. It’s negotiating power. Artists and DJs get more opportunity based on their numbers. It dictates if you’re opening, headlining or even getting booked at all. When new artists approach booking agents and labels the first thing they ask about is your streaming/social media numbers. Artist development is dead. They look for established acts which is why people fake their numbers for opportunity. The illusion of popularity online matters more to industry people than the actual music.

@SkilledGen 7 месяцев назад

Here's to the payouts: Spotify calculates their payouts based on how many subscribers they have - and then obviously how many plays the songs have. Let's assume Spotify had 10mil subscribers and makes 100M$ that way. 50% of that goes to artists - 50M$ Now these 50M$ get distributed to all the songs. So if there is a total of 50M monthly Streams, every stream is worth 1$. If now one song gets botted the fuck out and sits at 10M alone, leading the total streams to 60M, every stream is only worth like 0.8$, making every non-botted song losing out on money. Hope this makes sense, btw yes this is far from the real numbers and only rounded up in my head (actual streams paying out like 0.004$ max) just to get the point across.

Back in the day, major labels would buy bulk copies of their artists albums within the first day or so of the release to make it appear as though the artist went gold or platinum in sales on the first day of release and in hopes that the hype of that would cause more real fans to go buy the album. It got out because some of those sales were being processed a day before the album release (without a presale), so it made it obvious on who obvious on who else could be buying the album except the label themselves. It was common malpractice amongst major labels, but if I remember correctly, I think Clive Davis was one of them that got caught. Anyhow, it was definitely in the news and in online articles. This was in the early 2000’s, maybe even late 90’s.

It's no surprise in my opinion how big artists are getting exposed for botting streams. I feel about 90% of 'mainstream' artists bot their plays to make them look more influential than they are.

This has been going on for so long… Funds and venture capitalists do the exact same with stocks and financial assets by moving substantial amounts of said assets. This is not stopping nor is it easy to completely prove how illegal it is on the music industry specifically.

As they 1up each other they're digging the hole deeper. Soon the barrier to entry will be so high you cant get noticed. On top of that, at some point if theyre steadily increasing theyre going to exceed real people streaming. Then theyre in the negative. This could make the music industry implode.

It’s insanely common. Pushing your music on Spotify as an independent artist is really tricky

My boy Matty - we gotta introduce you to “The Wire” and a character by the name of Omar my friend. You’re really going to appreciate Michael K. Williams then. R.I.P to a real one. 💜

This can be easily explained by the labels and/or artists. It's simply a new form of marketing/advertising in the climate in which we currently exist (online streaming/social media). It's much cheaper than traditional marketing/advertising as well. You'll get many more eyes and ears this way. Gotta keep up with the times. It makes perfect sense.

Damn as a somewhat fan of G-Eazy, it kinda sucks that his team was faking his streams on his music because I always felt he had a solid fanbase and didn’t need to do that

Inde artist here. The solution is to buy our art directly. We make more that way that we ever do streaming

A Brazilian singer, Anitta, did this and also used her fans to pump the streams putting her song “Envolver” reaching number 1 song globally in spotting.

It’s not the artist, it’s the labels! The Al label is making all the money with streams, so they are the ones who are faking streams! Not one artist knows how to code!

Best in some ways, worst in other ways. Some of the best, brightest, and most unique music out there has been released in the last decade, but it's sometimes difficult to sift through all the stuff being promoted to get to it.

@SnackingBadger 2 месяца назад

its kinda got to the point where artists are almost pressured into buying fake streams just to not be clowned about streams/sales because everyones streams are inflated, so if yours arent you look like you are just doing bad. thanks major labels!

Wild that you bring this up because this happened to me last year. Had Youngboy in my Top 5 artists last year and he’s listed as my number 2 most listened all time. I do not listen to youngboy, I barely even listen to rap tbh. Shouldn’t even be in my top 100

Basically the practice of paying to boost an artist's music isn't new, just evolved over time.

Artists stream farm due to a variety of reasons but the biggest reason is because most platforms have a system that detects 3rd party account connections deeming paid botted views to be demonetized. When stream farmers use multiple devices, they’re using real accounts, it doesn’t get detected as a bot account or to a 3rd party app so they can make money off of the stream farm plays. Just food for thought.
