May 20, 2022·1 replyThose never last more than a week and he'd do numbers without them. Drake's been the biggest streaming artist every year since 2015. There's a consistency in the numbers he does and he's never had to cook them up for any reason. If he was obsessed with looking bigger than he was, he'd have dabbled in the whole bundle fiasco s*** other artists dipped in. Instead, he never took part in it and openly mocked it.

That's the one way that actually works because TikTok virality increases the engagement songs get.

Yeah, basically.
May 20, 2022·1 replyBut that is organic. It's literally just marketing. People will see the video and if they like the song they'll go stream it. If they don't like it, they won't. It's not like tiktok engagements counts as streams.
It's not different than any other type or marketing.

May 20, 2022·2 repliesthegreatdivineSpotify 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.
Spotify is a publicly traded company. If it came out that a large percentage of the streams they report are fake then it would lead to significant financial blowback. Just look at how many problems Twitter is having right now with bots, it's tanking the entire acquisition of the company.

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
Harlow's label is doing everything possible to shove him in front of our faces but couldn't purchase enough stream farms to chart higher than #3? Yeah okay

I mean I don't think that's the real reason either because Musk is a conman and I don't think he ever actually intended on buying Twitter, or he did and Tesla + Twitter stock tanked so much that it completely f***ed his funding.
But bots is the reason he's using to try to wriggle out of the deal

Yep. Definitely.

It's always been funny to me that people on here believe that caring about the quality of an album and caring about it's commercial performance (something we really only do for mainstream acts on this site) are mutually exclusive.
Why should we only care about critical acclaim for an artist who is established mainstream act and is also a commercial force? How does that make sense? Kendrick isn't some indie act who has never charted on the Hot 100 or the Billboard 200 before. To not care about the performance of the music he releases would be disingenuous and it's downright stupid to try to shame people for caring about numbers, as that's always been a part of music discussions as well as being a valid way to guage public interest.

True. I read that about 25% of Twitter accounts are either bots or are inactive and that's affected it's acquisition.

The bots don't matter lol that was his entire reason for buying twitter. Like you said, he never wanted to buy them and he is deliberately trying to tank them.

Reviews are paid for but stream numbers are totally organic and legit. Ok
If the streams are so easily bought why Kendrick aint buy more?

notice how the numbers are such low denominations.

If big hip hop artists are paying for streams why didn’t Kanye just pay streaming farms to outsell Drake?
