Good afternoon and blessings. I have a question: now that I’ve created my YouTube channel for my artist, should I upload a video first before claiming it on DistroKid? I’m a bit confused—thanks.

Hi all, I have been hearing chatter and experienced myself that there has been an issue with getting our music posted to YouTube Music in the past few months. I was wondering if anybody has found any workarounds/things to ask support/best practices/even trying a different distributor to ensure that our music goes live in a reasonable time frame. My first, third, and fourth albums have not gone live, but my second album has (and 30k views for my very first live album on YouTube!). Add a comment if you are experiencing this issue as well, if you are having zero problems, if you have any tips for this period of time, or if you have seen any information or articles surrounding this. Thanks!!

So after getting in contact with Distrokid support, the account got banned basically along with 3 artists that were in there. Im not sure what the reason was for that to be honest, I stuck to 1 album per artist per week, the albums were very different from each other in style and honestly i just dont know what could have led to this as i took every precaution. Super bummed about it...
