Don’t Put Your Music At Risk – Artificial Streaming 1 0
in Blog
As your trusted partner, 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 jeopardize your hard work, resulting in the potential withholding of streams or royalties, or even complete removal of your catalog from streaming platforms.
Our streaming partners work diligently to ensure that streams are legitimate and reflect genuine user listening intent. If a service finds that you (or a third party hired by you or on your behalf) have boosted play counts through any automated, deceptive, fraudulent, or other invalid means (such as digital bots, “click farms,” payment for playlist placement, etc.), the service may permanently remove your entire catalog.
If you’re considering a music promotion service, make sure to thoroughly research before hiring them.
Omziki reserves the right to hold any money on a release that is flagged for artificial streaming. Non-violating users will not be impacted by any potential penalty fees.
