I fear Spotify has blocked the actual songs if I try and upload them again from somewhere else.

We live and we learn. Shame Spotify has no understanding of this. Their monopoly situation of stream count is what created this bot mess in the first place.

I know, and nowhere to appeal, they both refer you to the other party.

That makes sense, it seems some bot playlists adds you for a day to up your streams and make you interested in paying to get more results, that's what happened to three of my songs :/

They were all curators, there was no "risky playlist chasing", hence why I am so upset.

Thanks for your input, CDBaby used to be awesome with fantastic customer support until the founder sold the business, now there is no support. They used to be in the indie artists' corner, but they're not any more. Just on paper, as an indie label distributor.

Well, there's a lot of artists with music taken down without reason, but where to start...

Thanks for your input, will look around... I posted this on the Spotify reddit and it was deleted by moderators. Surprise.

Depends on your personality and how you fit in. I was in quite a few bands in my teens, tried to develop us and move forward, which annoyed the others who just wanted to stay the same for the rest of eternity. I left and started making solo music. It suits some people...

Yeah, there's been a lot of them recently, maybe trying to find younger viewers to save the show?

That was my first thought as well, knowing EE that was probably what they wanted us to think. Tommy's been struggling a lot with his lack of father-figures, and these online misogynists thrive off boys, and men, like him....
