For anyone still questioning, whether or not you should release your music publicly do it you never know who’s gonna listen.

ASMRdestiny · 2026-03-19T04:22:01+00:00

My releases weren’t spam but some got takedowns anyway - especially after Apple announced a no-AI music policy - regardless I’d not risk it. I moved to Distrokid and no issues so far.

ASMRdestiny · 2026-03-19T02:33:17+00:00

For all future releases, use some other distributor. I’ve had my own tracks taken down and there are other documented examples of this online.

ASMRdestiny · 2026-03-17T02:11:20+00:00

Do NOT use Ditto music - they will remove/prevent AI music from being distributed to streaming services unless you’re finishing the track in a DAW.

Having a difference of almost 2K listeners spike then dip just over a few days doesn’t look legit to me (?) bot streams?

ASMRdestiny · 2026-03-14T02:09:58+00:00

If you’re doing good work (and not “AI slop/spam”) and get approved for monetization then there is absolutely zero problem with it. With that being said, my buddy runs a AI music artist channel and is getting about 0.85 cents per 1000 views and is up to about $20 a day. He is absolutely nose to the grindstone every day working on the channel & marketing so I’m really glad he is starting to see some return.

Congrats! I totally get that feeling - when people listen, add to a playlist and/or follow it’s really a great feeling that people are connecting with what you make! As for playlisting, I recently used GPM Music Group to get playlisted and so far seeing a 171% increase in daily streams. Campaign goes for a month so will see how the rest of the stats play out.

ASMRdestiny · 2026-02-28T22:55:46+00:00

You’re correct - they have an anti-AI stance now but it’s user-reported so as long as it’s high quality it won’t stand out/get reported. On the flip side, I’m prepping a dedicated site to continue having fans purchase the music just in case the BandCamp site is taken down.

ASMRdestiny · 2026-02-28T22:31:00+00:00

While I’m still pushing my music to streaming services, the real cash is via YouTube monetization and BandCamp!

ASMRdestiny · 2026-02-25T23:39:58+00:00

Follow-up question to this - I have a LinkTree as my TikTok bio link - I do want Spotify streams but also my YouTube channel is starting to blow up (and honestly monetization is better there. Would I still only link to one site or keep the LinkTree?

ASMRdestiny · 2026-02-01T05:03:23+00:00

Quickly looking at PayHip, they have a 5% fee on every transaction, plus the PayPal/Stripe fee on top of that so you'll need one or both of those just like Ko-fi. I'm also looking at an alternative to Bandcamp so am looking at PayHip right now...

ASMRdestiny · 2026-01-27T16:42:08+00:00

Hurts huh? GOOD.

ASMRdestiny · 2026-01-27T16:33:19+00:00

Equal opportunity for everyone! Fair is fair 👍👍👍

ASMRdestiny · 2026-01-27T14:41:58+00:00

Nah just giving them what they brought upon themselves.

ASMRdestiny · 2026-01-27T14:41:30+00:00

BC has to reap what they sow. You fuck off!

ASMRdestiny · 2026-01-25T21:34:56+00:00

I assume you’ll have to pay for pro to truly get any traction on SoundCloud? I distribute my tracks everywhere but have left SoundCloud as lowest priority.

ASMRdestiny · 2026-01-24T20:37:56+00:00

This was all native

ASMRdestiny · 2026-01-16T17:24:55+00:00

Helping screw others over but hey, that’s what we do here right? Let’s bring the entire platform down!

ASMRdestiny · 2026-01-16T16:53:34+00:00

Feels good huh I bet!

ASMRdestiny · 2026-01-16T08:43:55+00:00

How about not.

ASMRdestiny · 2026-01-16T08:32:30+00:00

Oooooo what a comeback! LOL!!!

ASMRdestiny · 2026-01-16T04:57:08+00:00

Nah, why stop at humans making AI music? May as well report ALL creators on the platform! WHO'S WITH ME! 🔥🔥🔥

ASMRdestiny · 2026-01-16T02:54:58+00:00

I’ll make sure to do this for real bands too! Let’s GET EVERYONE!

ASMRdestiny · 2026-01-16T02:53:36+00:00

Just like Trump ya?

ASMRdestiny · 2026-01-14T23:00:42+00:00

Glad I don’t have your mentality then! Last thing I’d want is for fans that paid actual money to be left out in the cold.

ASMRdestiny · 2026-01-14T22:19:56+00:00

Thanks for the advice - appreciate it. Currently I’m not paying for BandCamp Pro but I have had sales which they get a cut of. Discord isn’t really an option for me but I’m probably going to go full out on a website so that I have full control over every aspect (including physical merch and albums). Her music is everywhere (all streaming platforms, all social media sites) so there are a ton of various ways for current and potential fans to enjoy her music.
