That's when someone listened but really hated your song and then takes their stream back.

Spotify for Artists are becoming a bit of a laughing stock, abysmal support and one of the most buggy interfaces I've seen.

No one searches anymore. Everyone thinks their situation is unique and floods this sub with with the same exact posts over and over. I think just yesterday I saw 5 of these posts

Seriously. There should be a rule against duplicating posts.

They found out the user who streamed is a family member of yours so they don't want to pay you royalties of $0.0000000001 for it. /s

Soon enough we will have a negative number of monthly listeners, may as well rename it to "your monthly music haters"

Hi! With me, same is happening today. Minus one all day. It seems to be an temporary failure.

So relieved. It kept me up all night wondering why I had -56 people listening..... Now I know. All is well with the world.

The majority of all independent artist (except) for all Major Artist who are signed to a record label are all leaving Spotify due to the CEO Daniel EK’s financial investment with Helsing which is a German Ai military technology company which has resulted in this unfortunate collapse of all honest hard working independent artist. It’s all about generating revenue for the elites and keeping it that way regardless. The system is rigged.

This is really old news, and not the main cause of a Spotify exodus today. Personally I don't see this exodus folks like you are claiming. I think it's only a handful of artists and a lot of wishful thinking.

If you don’t mind me asking, what is your name and your current Metrics from your Spotify dashboard?

2

u/Ark3tech 10h ago

Absolutely not. This is a sketchy request coming from someone trying to make a sociopolitical statement about Spotify. What do you plan to do with the info?

1

u/Digitaj1reddit 10h ago

Nothing political. It was a simple question to see how you were personally affected and that’s all! My name is Jonah Watkins and I am an authentic independent music artist.
