Glad to hear someone with actual experience in the Music Industry!
Was your experience in one of the 3 major record labels or more indie ones?
Itās not like Billie popped out of nowhere, duh.
Billie Eilish Pirate Baird OāConnell with such a name success is certain.
Just kidding, sheās definitely got talent and probably also put in a lot of hard work since she was 11, thatās when she started writing songs according to wikipedia.
Thatās 5 years of being in a enviroment full of musicians and people from the entertainment industry in LA ā¦I mean, one cannot hit the honey pot more. Either that or you go freaking insane.
EDIT:
By the way, image you have a well established network in that sector and locationā¦Itās like M/S on steroids. Instead of shoutouts and tags you get news articles and interviews 
Instagram aināt the only platform with bots and fake likesā¦
The biggest labels have access to bots for faking streams fosho
Donāt forget labelās are humans too, but the difference we are trying making living of this. Big labelās they do it in bigger scale, the have the money, people and power. Couple of thousands of dollars and they make millions with contractās, example they invest 10k to increase engagement, algorithm does the rest. After months this small singer/band whatever can fill stadiumās sell a lot albumās etc

I wouldnāt necessarily say itās that easy for them to sell out things IRL because lol pump for example he has so many IG followers then canāt even sell 20k first week of album release, and he performs at venues where other artists are at - he canāt really sell out shows like an indie producer (signed to a label tho) like Russ who can sellout the staples center which is insaneā¦
All Iām trying to say is that yes producers have a bunch of money and can increase engagement and fake influence but when it comes down to it content is always king

Thatās why they donāt sign everyone, the only sign the best of the best in their eyes, I sad that in a away, obviously some donāt fill houses but they make a lot of profit 
labelās are very bad organization, now one guy can put their musicās on YouTube and blow yup, labelās they need to make sure it a good music creator, very good, they donāt bet their money. Nowadays social Prof is the best making money method compared to decadeās agoā¦ Our grandparents they gave theirs lives with their body, we just create social prof, learn from the algorithm and do a lot of moneyyy. Labelās can have power but they need to play with the same rules has ours, abusing or not abusing the algorithm is the away for success

I can say with 100% confidence that record labels purchase views on YouTube for music videos. The C-tier and D-tier artists purchase fake bot views, whereas the B-tier artists purchase a combination of fake bot views and real views from YouTube advertising. A-tier artists like Taylor Swift donāt purchase views anymore, but they used to.
