I wondered why artists had such huge streams on Spotify in the first days.
So far, I have identified only two suspicious markets for streaming on Spotify, these indicators are unrealistic. As a bonus, videos with real streaming farms popped up on TikTok. If you look, even their own artists are not getting the same boost in streaming as some K-pop artists.
My opinion is that some companies buy the services of a bot farm to boost streams on some platforms.
