More on Spotify, Part 3

Well, I seem to have settled into getting a monthly listener base of a whole 30-40 listeners since I got more exposure on algorithmic playlists. More listeners identify as female, which is a bump up from before the listener increase. Still a far cry of the listener base of about 250 that I used to have 2021-2023.

Spotify is really a shitty platform. Discovery is almost impossible unless you pay Spotify hundreds of dollars for their promotion. If you use third party promotion services, you risk having your streams classified as fake, getting you banished.

Spotify has a bad actor problem which they don’t seem to want to fix. Their userbase increase several hundred percent over about a two year period. It’s obvious to me that most of these accounts are bots. Major labels use those bots to jazz their streaming numbers and Spotify turns a blind eye to this abuse.

Which is why I direct my fans to platforms not as obnoxious as Spotify, like Amazon Music, Apple Music, Beatport, and YouTube.

Interoperability

Found this TikTok post on interoperability and breaking the chains surrounding the walled gardens of big tech.

Still haven’t figured out how to embed video in WordPress, click the link to start down the rabbit hole that I entered when Spotify started their nastiness a year and a half ago.

Instagram Ban

Well, I’m probably going to get a full ban on Instagram, due to a reply I made on IG. Once again, I was warned that a comment I made was like ones that have been reported.

The strange thing is the comment was made in reply to a comment by Rudi Meibergen that said by my comments about the Spotify’s reaming of artists were childish. Even those comnents were about Spotify’s unsavory attempt to steal streams from artists with less than 1,000 streams on a song. Nothing in my comments was inaccurate, but Rudi the troll could help but commit character assasination with his ad hominem attack.

And Rudi, the non-musician, claimed to be a musician on the platform, which he’s not. He’s a producer with less than a 100 credits on Muso.AI, and from what I can tell, no output at all on Spotify. So, he has been is a bootlicker hoping to procure some advantage by his kowtowing to the oligarchs.

As stated on another IG post, Daniel Ek, the chief fraudster of Spotify, scored $365 million in a stock sale. An artist would have to accumulate 115 billion streams in a year to get that kind of money. A neat deal considering that Drake has only accumulated 15 billion streams over his entire career.

As an aside, I really don’t care if IG bans me completely. As I keep getting threatening messages from Zuckerberg the Kike, my reach has declined 90% and as you can see from this graphic from Linktree shows that I get almost no traffic from IG.
