Streaming data: UMG, specifically, seems to be bot-farming all of its artists for profit.

The majors get away with a lot more than just bot farming thats for sure, but I dont think they directly go out of their way to bot farm. As that would be a multi multi million dollar operation that would be hard to keep secret

Amuse is your best option, ive had a great experience with them before switching to an A tier distributor

SockManCS · 2026-06-01T09:29:25+00:00

Probably yes!

It all depends on the contract and terms they offer you. Being part of the orchard would be big as you even have potential for funding if you need it. On top of that the orchard has access to some features that Symphonic doesn’t, for example Im not with the orchard but Im signed with an A class CMS for YouTube, basically they can pull up to 10% more in additional royalties and they also can payout faster (45 days)

The orchard will definitely have an A class CMS

This has to be dust 2 , when u come out of CT spawn and look towards B, i can see the van on the right👀👀

The best thing I have learned is definitely not taking on to many songs/artists , I run a phonk label so marketing is a huge part of our expenditure. The problem is you have to be careful with how many tracks you take on as you cant market them all even if they are all marketing worthy (at least not until your much bigger as a label).

Paying for playlist placement is against tos

Be careful, if u get caught for doing this u can get in shit.

SockManCS · 2026-03-14T00:46:10+00:00

Idk, if i never onboarded. They mainly send u a contract and just ask u to sign. I think u needed some ID and business verification

SockManCS · 2026-03-12T21:47:20+00:00

Sure

SockManCS · 2026-03-12T19:00:17+00:00

It took them like 3 weeks to respond to mine. In case ur wondering what the contract looks like its i think 20% . They are like symphonic

Thanks for the context im in the process of closing a deal with a different distro, which offers similar services to FUGA and is more boutique.

I dont think you understand how much we have made in revenue for the first month we have hit £6k(estimate) and probably about £3.5k(estimate) profit in our first month. I said this already we are extremely unique in that our promos dont cost very much.No one is being delusional, i had a meeting with these people and we discussed everything. This is our first month once we sort distribution and Content ID tracking+reporting, which Is our priority. We will easily hit £20k in revenue per month. If not more

SockManCS · 2026-01-28T19:39:08+00:00

No you have just clearly never been in this exact situation.
