Bot scam! Do not waste your time!

Musicvertising is totally a bot scam! I signed up in December to their starter package for Spotify. Within 24 hours, I saw a drastic shift in the number of streams and followers. I was excited. Over the next 5/6 days, the stats flatlined and there was no change. I didn't think it was odd because I was still excited about that first day. A week later again, there was another growth spurt in my streams and my followers in one day, and then another few days of nothing. When I asked why I wasn't seeing more of a steady increase throughout the week, which is what I would expect from an on-going campaign, I was told that the growth is a result of the campaign being placed on successful platforms. I asked why then wouldn't they just place the campaign on those specific platforms where they have seen the best results. All of a sudden the consultant was very unhelpful and I didn't get a proper answer except to say they target people who are likely to respond positively to the music. A week later on more of less the same day, there was another growth spurt. And I started noticing that it went up by more or less the same amount of listeners each week, which is all hogwash. I could literally predict what my listenership was going to be in each week and on which day. *Their response below is an example of what I mean. Total bull. Even on days when a campaign is not as effective you can expect at least 1 or 2 listeners to follow you. But to have nothing for a whole week and then a sudden upsurge every week on Thursday is nothing less than suspicious.* Then I cancelled my subscription a month later. Within a week, by number of followers started dipping. It's been about 3 weeks, and now I am literally right back to the same number of listeners I had before I paid for the service. When I enquired about it, they first blamed Spotify, and then said sometimes followers decide to unfollow an artist. Problem with this explanation is if you track the stats, I have lost followers in batches each week more of less on the same day... The same way I gained them. That explanation would probably make sense if over time I started seeing a steady decline... **Edited after their response below: What Musicvertising have not accounted for is that some of us actially have friends and family working for companies like Spotify and Youtube. In my case, I'm fortunate to actually have both... Musicvertising uses bots to get artists streaming and follower numbers up. There is nothinf organic about it. This is a problem for Spotify because when they recon their accounts, they number stream do not align with the actual activity on the system. Musicvertising has crafted the perfect template response which is just vague enough to soind convincing without actually saying anything.** Now I'm worried that they've potentially messed up my Spotify algorithm for real organic growth. ***This is a completely malicious company that is preying on the passion and desperstion of so many hopeful upcoming musicians, damaging their careers sometimes irreversably. They claim that tbeir customer service is available to assist, however, I've been through theie customer service. They fed me the same nonsensical bull. That's how I ended up here.*** Total scam! Do not waste your money and your time.

Response from Musicvertising· Feb 18, 2023

Hi there, Thanks for your feedback. We want to assure you that our team is dedicated to delivering the best possible organic campaign for our clients on Spotify. We strictly avoid using bots or any other form of fake engagement as it contradicts our principles and violates Spotify's terms of service. Instead, we employ programmatic native ads to display your Spotify profile to users who have expressed an interest in similar artists or genres. This is comparable to seeing ads for computers after browsing online. As a result of using native advertising, the number of streams may fluctuate from day to day based on the effectiveness of ad placement. On days when there is a significant change, it may be due to a particularly successful placement, and on days when the movement is not as strong, it may be due to a less effective placement. It is also crucial to note that without active promotions, your page will not be marketed to a large targeted audience, and as a result, your music may not be played or discovered by new listeners as frequently. Therefore, you may not receive as many streams or new followers on your Spotify account. If you need any further help, please, come on our customer service channels, and we will help you. https://musicvertising.com/contact/ [email protected] +1 321 946 1650 Best regards, Musicvertising Customer Service Team
