Total garbage ....They clearly use bots excellent if you want cosmetic numbers but soon as ya stop payin straight back to virtually nothing. Real listners or fans wouldnt be topping 7k 1 month then a couple of hundred few weeks later,just wouldnt happen also if they had have got us on big playlists with real listners why would it suddenly appear they sacked you because you stoped promo company. Total fakes. Not real help or promotion just their own network of bots and playlists they manufacture for scam, total waste of time and money. Like i say its not promotion or real playlist placement its a fee to get on their scam channels.

After I deal with this company it seemed fine! U do get streams NOT enough to payback of course ! And I got all my followers deleted which indicated those guys uses bots ! 2 stars not 1 for the small amount of streams I got

So, to give credit where credit’s due, the number of streams of my music has grown, though by a small margin. Hovewer, it seems that this company uses some loopholes in Spotify TOS and then just tell you that they “fully comply” with them. I will just tell you what I can based on closely watching my Spotify artist stats during the campaign. 1. Streams come and go in “waves”. E.g. today you have 100 streams on your music, tomorrow - 1000, a day after that - 500 and three days later 100 streams again. That’s a pattern that was being repeated over and over during one month of the advertisement campaign. 2. A majority of streams was being made using an unknown type of device. Spotify stats differentiate if people were listening to your music using their smartphone, PC, gaming console, e.t.c. Before the campaign those stats for my music were distributed pretty naturally, with 70-80% listening on their smartphones. However, after the campaign started, nearly 50-60% of streams came from the device type “Other”, which is a huge red flag in my opinion. 3. Spotify stats also differentiate between streams that were made from your artist page , user’s own playlists, editorial playlists and algorithmic playlists. During the campaign the percentage was thus: 60% from the artist page, nearly 30% from user’s own playlist and around 10% from other people playlists. To ensure those 30+10% this company makes a clever little thing: the streams are EVENLY distributed between the user playlists that already contain a song in question and a playlist that contains ONLY the track in question with the same name as the track is created (there were such playlists for EVERY single track in my album) and a lot of streams come from this playlist too, which is suspicious to say the least. 4. Followers. New followers appear in a pattern that looks like a staircase on a graph. Every X days, almost the same amount of followers are subscribing to you, which is extremely reminiscent of youtube bot raids. Another funny detail - in the previous reviews the company representative answered that follower drop (that happened to me in the end of april) has happened because Spotify are deleting inactive accounts. But, at least in my case, if i put a ruler onto the followers graph (i am not smart enough to do actual maths) before the advertisement campaign it looked like an even uphill line, which is natural. Then, there is the aforementioned “staircase”, a plateau, a huge follower drop, and then the graph continues naturally in an uphill fashion. The funny thing is, if i put a ruler to the beginning of a follower graph (which is a date when i made a first release and promoted it on my youtube channel) and connect it with today’s date, those couple weeks after the campaign ended look like a natural continuation of a slightly-uphill graph before the campaign, and the follower drop actually had “stabilized” it to that level. If what I am trying to say is too cryptic and complicated - it looks like those followers that are allegedly not bots and that have followed me during the campaign ALL were deleted from my account and in the end they had no impact on the graph angle and trend whatsoever. So, they may not be bots, but they may be free accounts registered en masse by this company for use in their services (it’s the best case, the worst is those are hacked accounts). So, this company may not be LITERALLY using bots, but nobody defines what is “a bot” in this case. Also, they may comply with Spotify TOS (at least for now) but likely are using loopholes in it. They use semantic and legal loopholes in order to make it look like the services they provide are legit: 2 stars and not 1 because I have a little more streams now.

Musicvertising is a scam. Fake listeners and fake playlists. I recommend artists not to use this service.

I have tried various services and can tell through spotontrack as well as CDBaby which playlists views come from. This service didn't bring in notable views at least in one month that I subscribed for. The views that did show up couldn't be traced back to a list or a legit device(smartphone, tablet, desktop, etc). Since there are so many ways plays can be "hacked" the only criteria I use for spotify is that the plays come from a list and a detectable device, not "other". Some services I have tried, did deliver on playlist plays, although small in number the plays were real.
