Can anyone help as we’re feeling angry and defeated here at Rated HQ

So, according to Spotify last month our music was streamed 2,779 times (that the scum have reported to us) of this, 2,329 streams have been flagged as “fraudulent”.

It would make sense at this stage to assume that an artist has paid for streaming services you would guess, right?

But here’s the deal…..

The 2,329 streams deemed fraudulent are spread across 218 different tracks, so of which have only 1 stream on the fraud list.

How is this believable!
How can this be allowed?

IS IT EVEN WORTH HAVING MUSIC ON SPOTIFY?
