Category: A total rip off
I was just checking my streams payout on CD Baby and saw that more than a hundred of my song streams from Spotify and YouTube Music were deducted as being ineligible. So CD Baby deducted those amounts from my total payout. I've been with CD Baby for 25 years and never had this problem before this rip off. After doing some digging it appears that Spotify and YouTube Music have flagged these songs as having artificial streams generated by Bots. I have never used a service to generate or bolster my streams. CD Baby gets charged from those distribution companies and passes the fee on to their customers. I'm not the only one this has happened to. So as of now I've removed Spotify and YouTube Music as distributors for my music. The other distributors (Tidal, Amazon, Apple etc.) will continue to stream my songs. Just some FYI and venting on my end. They Sux!
