Record labels scam on Instagram

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?

Itā€™s not like Billie popped out of nowhere, duh.

Billie Eilish Pirate Baird Oā€™Connell with such a name success is certain.

Just kidding, sheā€™s definitely got talent and probably also put in a lot of hard work since she was 11, thatā€™s when she started writing songs according to wikipedia.

Thatā€™s 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€¦Itā€™s like M/S on steroids. Instead of shoutouts and tags you get news articles and interviews :joy:

Instagram ainā€™t the only platform with bots and fake likesā€¦

The biggest labels have access to bots for faking streams fosho

Donā€™t forget labelā€™s are humans too, but the difference we are trying making living of this. Big labelā€™s they do it in bigger scale, the have the money, people and power. Couple of thousands of dollars and they make millions with contractā€™s, example they invest 10k to increase engagement, algorithm does the rest. After months this small singer/band whatever can fill stadiumā€™s sell a lot albumā€™s etc

I wouldnā€™t necessarily say itā€™s that easy for them to sell out things IRL because lol pump for example he has so many IG followers then canā€™t even sell 20k first week of album release, and he performs at venues where other artists are at - he canā€™t 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 Iā€™m 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

Thatā€™s why they donā€™t sign everyone, the only sign the best of the best in their eyes, I sad that in a away, obviously some donā€™t fill houses but they make a lot of profit :money_mouth_face::money_mouth_face::money_mouth_face: labelā€™s are very bad organization, now one guy can put their musicā€™s on YouTube and blow yup, labelā€™s they need to make sure it a good music creator, very good, they donā€™t bet their money. Nowadays social Prof is the best making money method compared to decadeā€™s 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. Labelā€™s 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 donā€™t purchase views anymore, but they used to.
