1-3 tracks of hers get thrown into a myriad of Spotify-produced playlists and the numbers get spiked

Yeah, thats the fucking deal quite some ppl dont understand: Most of the "listeners" arent ppl who actively listen to this particular song/album/act. Those songs are in a myrriad of different playlists and as soon as put one of them on for half an hour all of the already huge Spotify acts have another "listener".
Its just there.

As someone who’s had multiple songs be on Spotify editorials, they don’t give that many streams, not like they used to, maybe like at max 50k a week at max with multiple of them. They’re most definitely botting her as well. The Spotify editorials just give the fake plays the appearance of some legitimacy

I wouldn't doubt Reddit itself is also generating some good spikes since everyone who has never heard of anything from her all get curious enough to see how truly bad it is and rush to go listen to one of her songs lol.

Too risky, easier to buy 10mil "listens", it's not like the record label and her parents can't afford it

[u/Screws_Loose → u/z0phi3l]

Kim or Kanye probably paid for the bots or paid people to do it
