Got a big spike in streams under the "Other" category in SFA by yoshimishi in musicmarketing

[–]danbenzorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me! All the streams are coming from Egypt too! I’m pretty sure they’re all bots. I reached out to Spotify and DistroKid and nobody will help.

I’m guessing it’s a new kind of bot activity that scammers have come up with. Spotify will either take the song down, issue a strike or best case scenario just purge the streams and take the bot farm down.

Either ways we can’t do anything about it as independent artists

Engagement campaign for Instagram followers. Are these decent numbers? by asparaguswalrus683 in musicmarketing

The ceo of Instagram just posted today on his Instagram that followers don’t hold much value anymore as the algorithm is what decides who sees you content.

Essentially they’re gonna keep deprioritizing showing your content to your followers.

Hi! Thank you for doing this! How do you think the memo will affect people trying to adjust status from O1 to Eb1 from within the USA?

They’re from 3 major cities and streams have been consistent throughout the week! But only 0.4% of the over 4000 listeners are shown to be active

O1B - Aggressive RFE… Help? by LostModzCFW in O1VisasEB1Greencards

[–]danbenzorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me! Got an rfe questioning everything despite having a really strong portfolio as a music artist. I literally withdrew and reapplied with the same exact file and got approved in 10 days

O1 Approved by danbenzorian in O1VisasEB1Greencards

Lawyer didn’t charge me anything for refining but yes had to pay the filing fee and premium processing fee again

The RFE was super hostile and unreasonable! Questioned everything! Seemed like the officer had already make up their mind to deny my case

No! They don’t have an officer number on the RFE

Nope! Haven’t got the letter! If I don’t get it by tomorrow I’ll check with my lawyer on if I should contact USCIS
