This guy is getting millions but you can’t buy the satisfaction of creating good art. Art transcends money. Look at these monumental museums.

Oof. Streaming farms definitely bring in a lot of streams but I’ve seen the statements from Spotify for songs like this and they don’t pay like real streams regardless of the country they’re from. They also wreck algorithmic growth. If it was as easy as downloading a bot then all the artists and labels relying on them would actually be doing well, not pretending like they’re doing well

Not only that it will literally destroy your channel they will shut the artist profile down if they discover an artist using bots it's just not worth it.
