Why you shouldn't boost your streams
We often get questions about how to get more streams on platforms like iTunes, Spotify, and others. It may seem tempting to pay a little money and earn on a huge number of streams. But is it that easy?
Risk to your creative output
"Third" services that offer to place tracks in playlists or provide a certain number of plays for compensation most often use easily tracked and at the same time prohibited cheating tools. These services can devalue your work in creating content and lead to blocking or removal of your content from streaming services. For example, Spotify directly warns about the removal of releases in its article All you need to know about artificial streaming.
Risk to your finances
Even if your content isn't removed, you won't get royalties for the inflated streams anyway. This is also mentioned in the Spotify article above. However, the same is true for all other streaming services.
One way or another, all the costs will fall on you. The streaming platform will not lose anything. The boosting service will earn money from you. And you will be left without royalties and without the money you spent on boosting.
Zero chance of success
All music platforms have the necessary technology to track unnatural streaming metrics. They have dedicated teams of analysts working on the tools. For them, it is literally a matter of their survival — they would simply close down, constantly paying millions in royalties for fake streams.
Those who offer you stream boosting services, on the contrary, have extremely limited technical capabilities. Most often, there is one or few people behind the boosting services who do not understand the internal mechanisms of streaming services, and you should not rely on them being able to outsmart the analytical departments of the world's music platforms.
Conclusion
If you are looking to promote your content, always check how and in what ways a potential partner works before starting cooperation with them. And please, do not use cheating services.
