I have been promoting my music on SoundCloud and what used to be Repost by SoundCloud but is now SoundCloud for artists. I have had over 600000 plays on my profile on SoundCloud and have over 17000 followers and they haven't paid me. I have emailed them but they don't respond. They boast about how you can make a living as an artist on SoundCloud but it's all a scam. They owe me about $1500 from the 600000 plays I have had but they haven't paid me. Steer clear of the SoundCloud artist scam!

I have been promoting my music on SoundCloud for the past year. They brag about how you can get your music career off the ground with royalty payments. I have had over 100000 plays on my profile and they haven't paid me but a few dollars. I should have been paid around $300. They are scamming artists all over the globe and getting away with it. When I questioned them they just don't get back with me. SoundCloud and SoundCloud for artists is a big scam. Steer clear!

I've posted several songs on their service and all I received was spam and attempted scam, let me explain it in more detail, please read. Every time I posted a new song, I would get an automated new fan and their system would suggest me to return the favor and subscribe to that new fan's page as well. However, that subscription to my page of that "new fan" would disappear after a while. The exact same thing would happen with each new song I would upload. After a while I would be contacted by someone claiming to be a Label offering me a contract after I send them my song without voice-over protection, which is not how labels work, so that is an example of an attempted scam. Also, this would only happen after upload, if there was no upload, and I deliberately was not uploading for 3 weeks, there was nothing happening and my content was not accessible in their search engine, not appearing to anyone else, except me! My friend told me he can't see me while I was able to see myself. So, their system is doing so called shadowbanning. You can see your own content, but nobody else can, but since you can see your own content you're being tricked into thinking everyone can see. I've closed account there.

I have been promoting my music in SoundCloud via Repost Exchange as an independent artist and got around 3M plays which 2M plays are from the United States. I contacted Repost By SoundCloud to double check why are not getting paid? Unfortunately they could not explain why. After 2 years of using their distribution services and creating a real fan base I just realised that the only way to get money out of them is using Music Reports Inc otherwise they will hold your mechanical royalties! You get your mouth full of lies telling unsigned artists that you help them but in reality you only help the labels just like the rest of platforms.
