Artificial streaming penalties! Don’t Put Your Music At Risk
Dear content partners, labels and artists. As your trusted distributor, we wanted to take a moment to warn you about some deceptive advertisements we’ve recently seen for illegitimate music promotion services.
Third parties that promise playlist placements or a specific number of streams in exchange for compensation are likely using illegitimate practices without your knowledge. These services can threaten your hard work, resulting in the potential withholding of streams or royalties, or even complete removal of your catalog from streaming services. If you’re in the market for a music promotion service, make sure to do your research before you hire them. Please take some time to review the following articles provided to us by Spotify
