I don't participate and I don't think I ever have
I like to listen to songs according to my mood and I would feel weird if I was replaying songs while having them on mute
If fans want to do it, they are free to do it though, but I also think they should just admit it when they do it lmao...we all know you didn't listen to a song for 80 000 times because you like it I don't think streaming is shameful but lying about it kinda is
I really don't care to participate either, I'm too busy irl tbh. streaming the same song over and over again, then doing it on other platforms seems exhausting
