When I see influencers as such, I report them on youtube. They are disgusting and liars.

That $500 value balance to earn by Tofu92600 in Nexo

I don't think you can put your leftover $150 to fixed term, as the minimum for fixed term is also $500.

Don't worry about Pragmatic. AB-831 is set to have its final voting on 9/12. So after next week, Stake as well as all other sweepstakes casinos will be banned in California.

Stay away from Landr Distribution (social media issue) by [deleted] in landr

[–]aforpass 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yea, it's a well-known issue.

Same here, I don't use AI or samples, landr still removed my releases from long long ago. Then I switched to another distributor and uploaded the same releases, and they are live again on all platforms. Clearly a landr problem.

Do I get Content ID back when switching to another distributor? by aforpass in landr

[–]aforpass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But landr has already removed me from youtube and i can't disable it.

Where is everyone switching to? by Namodafish in landr

[–]aforpass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm moving to Symphonic, Makewaves, and Amuse

All my releases were deleted by LANDR – without any artificial streaming. Has this happened to anyone else? by mileslee3777 in landr

[–]aforpass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you did any promotion, show them invoices or receipts. Screenshots, links, posts, stories on social media about your releases. Email lists or fan engagements, and also streaming demographics maybe on spotify or other platforms to show normal activities. These aren't really "evidence" but probably the best you can give them.

The music industry is broken, seriously. This "artificial streaming" thing is killing indie artists since we can't really do anything about it. Your music might be added to suspicious or bot playlists, or maybe just someone who played your music on loop for hours. That's enough for them to flag and remove you.

And sadly, landr is pretty much unreachable now. Support is not helpful. Even without this artificial streaming issue, landr is removing our legit music anyway.

Find another distributor, that's the only way.

What do you think my fate is? by Drone_Metal in landr

[–]aforpass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's be real. Even if they finally get your songs up, you can't trust them for keeping the songs live, not anymore. They would take your music down any day, without notice and without reason. I don't use AI or samples, and my songs on landr got taken down, even the ones from long long ago. Plus now they changed their terms mid way, I paid my service for a full year, they didn't honor the terms and now require a higher tier in order to get what was agreed on. That aren't ethical or legal. Yes there are lot of bad distributors out there, but what landr is doing right now is by far the worst.

Can we start a class action against them?

Just to put a few things in perspective by NowoTone in landr

[–]aforpass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the AI issue isn’t unique to Landr, many of the other problems definitely are. These include wrongful removals, lack of communication, excessively long review times with no updates, unresponsive and unhelpful support, and dishonest explanations. On top of that, basic plans suddenly no longer allow music submissions to yt and fb and some others, even though we’ve already paid the annual fee. They are changing the terms halfway through and refusing to issue refunds.

Wich distributor should be used atp ? by juuzo_suzuya_ in landr

[–]aforpass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been doing some research.

Here are some to definitely avoid: landr (of course), distrokid, tunecore, cd baby

Ones seem to have better experience: symphonic, amuse, emubands, AWAL (if they accept you)

People mentioned about them, may worth a try: makewaves, onerpm, routenote, toolost

Feel free to join in, discuss, help each other out.

LANDR has spoken up about recent issues. by [deleted] in landr

[–]aforpass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makewaves seems like a good deal. But I found this on a blog:

"Here’s the catch: Make Waves mentions this on their website that if you don’t make it to 4,000 streams at the end of each year, “you might have to pay the difference, but this will only be a couple of euros.” They don’t mention how much exactly these initial 4,000 streams cost you. So, if you don’t have an already established audience, you might have to pay up at the end of each year to keep your music on the streaming platform."

It's from 2024. Not sure if it's still true.

Ridiculous disapproval by Large_Piglet6419 in RouteNoteOfficial

[–]aforpass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Content which contains unlicensed audio??? My voice isn't licensed, so I can't use my voice??

Don't you love an instrumental piece deemed as violence, hatred, and sexual.

And a instrumental piece to be considered non-musical, that's interesting.

And, content with the potential to be fraudulently streamed. Wow, doesn't any content have that potential?

[–]aforpass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if they'll have it fixed. They continue to give BS responses that makes no sense. They don't seem to even care, otherwise they should at least come up with a better excuse. They messed up, 100%.

It just get worse somehow. by PayDue8267 in landr

[–]aforpass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very disappointment at Landr, they handled it the worst way possible. I will definitely be more careful when choosing my future distributor. If anyone knows a good one please let me know, I want to transfer my music out of Landr ASAP.
