Reviews are paid for but stream numbers are totally organic and legit. Ok

wow yak still up there

Have heard about streams/views being bought 10x more than reviews lol especially in latin music

Streaming services monitor and cancel out fake streams because it against their best interests to have them count. And then when it comes to having those fake streams/sales count on the charts, you have Luminate, the people who provide all the data that Billboard uses, to count them out as well.

Also, the biggest artists aren't getting away with fake streams. It might take a while but services like Spotify will eventually cancel out those fake streams from the song totals. They do that all the time.

push these niggas off me like huu

I'm not talking about the first week numbers. I'm talking about the numbers long after the release. The streaming numbers a song or album does 15-30 weeks after it has been released are 9999/10000 legit. The hype of the release is gone, the paid playlist placements are gone etc. If it's still selling well then naturally it's because a lot of people actually enjoy it.

Lmao what poster was he talking about that he followed and they flipped their whole attitude

What stream farm issues. Never heard of this being an issue

Googling "Drake stream farms" got me more results than I expected

I'm not disputing what you're saying, neither am I suggesting that every single stream is legitimate. I'm just saying that it isn't in the best interest of the streaming platforms to cook up streams or to allow artists to do it for the simple fact that they already hate paying out the huge amounts of money they pay to labels. They'd never wanna pay more than they have to and yes, it's 100% possible to fake streams but never any amount that'd make a huge difference because those will raise red flags immediately and even for the streams that are small enough to seem negligible, they eventually fish them out and cancel them. That's what they did to French Montana when he bought fake streams for some songs. Some Anuel AA songs had fake streams as well. In both cases, the fake streams eventually got cancelled out.

this nigga sitting in a room with like 10 phones. That s*** not moving the needle

Lol duh. When the majority of people believe that without proof and keep on talking about it. Those will pop more

Spotify for instance already has a policy in place where a single user can only have 10 streams for a song count in a 24 hour period so if I play God's Plan 50 times in 1 day, only 10 of those streams count till the next day.

Cooking up streams isn't as easy as y'all think, especially in the last few years.

That was TikTok boosting the song as soon as it dropped. Same thing happened to drivers license last year and how it blew up as quickly as it did.

you guys rae real crazy if you really think big artist need streaming farms , if it was so easy why would the label not just do it for everyone .the label isnt the artists publicity there here to make money.for example you can say the label fakes streams but no one is listening to drake cause he had a billion streams ,so making the numbers bigger will not make the label more money.its just numbers on a peice of paper,it cant compare to radio payola that helps artist gain more recognition on radio.you rather discuss playlisting than streaming farms.a streaming benefits a smaller artist not the titans

If there's anybody's numbers that isn't getting cooked, it's Drake's lmao.

also why would spotify let the label fake numbers especially when they have to pay out cash for those streams. the spotify systems pays nboth regionaly and uses heiracy .for example payment oif streams from china and the us, us is higher and a local artist and drake also dont get paied the same
