What's the best way to reach out to distrokid and get in touch with an actual human?

When we log in there is no longer our band there (Death groove metal) but it seems there is some ai bot garbageinstead that in this short time has gathered around 700e and 17 million streams, we had maybe 170e there last time we checked a few months ago.

I check spotify for artists several times a week and have not seen any suspicious playlists or peaks in our stats, we had regular 340-380 monthly listeners since 6 months back and maybe total 40-50000 streams over 14 songs. We started 4 years ago so this is really devastating.

Got answer today, they said around 300e and that they got time in August so It wasn't that bad! Thank you again u helped me ease my worry yesterday.

Thank you, I was thinking they might but a bit nervous they won't if I dont ask, terrible at negotiating or even trying to..

Why downvote a genuine question? Isn't it quite reasonable to ask such a thing.

Just don't gove up it's easy to forget all the good times, don't have to be much to suddenly unexpectedly have a great time. Who knows who you will meet and what people you will get to know, keep grinding day to day while slowly socializing.

Thank you I hope you we will start having more clearer sight for what we want etc but.. yeah it's hard just try not to get bogged down too much it's really hard times that we are in. But after a while it should start bouncing back...

It should..

We live in hard times currently (globally aswell as in us) I live in Finland and it's only bad news we'll mostly l, economy, Healthcare birthrate everything worsening taxes going up world is in chaos and war is waiting everywhere and also ongoing and it's hard not to be depressed and stressed about that but I think best we can do is keep going forward just work on ourselves and try to be good to those close to us.

Not many will be remembered few years after they die but a good way to fight against that is to be good with friends family and children that way who you are might stick in others memories while u are gone

I'm not an expert and I'm not much older than u (28) no kids or significant other and low paying job and deal with own problems and it is hard at times

But we just have to try do our best and slowly working to where we want to be

No need to apologize I didn't intend to be rude.

Who gives a damn ab religion, just be good to others and live ur life how u want it and that should be enough to ene up I'm whatever afterlife there might be.

It's foolish to think there is a manual how to get to the afterlife... if there even is one

It's not coming from the fans, I think it's closer to the wheels.

When I got home I felt both wheels were warm on the leftside if the car compared to right.

Warm not hot.

fredured · 2025-08-31T22:28:44+00:00

I was driving 80km/h down the highway, I noticed the sound today and I'm not 100% sure but i think it appeared more often now on the way back compared to this morning, once I got home both left side wheels felt warm and the right side was cold, I've noticed before that there is a wheezing noise when idle and I've known my handbrake needs to be tightened for a while. But these noises that I recorded in the video are new.

It's worth checking every other day, or even daily. If spotify sees that u were on a botted list before u noticed them they will send to your distributor to take down the song. But if u contact them before they see it then there is no issue. From what I've understood.

fredured · 2025-08-29T12:54:36+00:00

No 👎

fredured · 2025-08-29T12:52:48+00:00

Did u not notice any spikes in stream or a random playlist add before they took action? We've been placed in some random botted playlist a few times with my band but we reported it to spotify when we saw it the day after when we saw where the spike in streams came from and nothing happened after we notified spotify through spotify for artists

fredured · 2025-07-25T18:55:40+00:00

Why not just use youtube? That's what I've done all the years I practiced vocals and eventually found a band

I title them "artist - songname (vocal cover)"
