This video went viral for me, and I don't know why🫪😎 https://youtu.be/JTmI6IEtw_M?si=Ephx1uWtjIrPgxHr

i have my youtube in my comments, its where i put my videos of my music, i make the shorts, but im not getting seen, vidiq says im just not being found, i put in the keywords where it tells me, i change my video names to what it says, it only helped a little, right now i got maybe 5k in views, and ive been at it for im wanting to say since may or april, i got a membership to distrokid(musician plan, cant afford a whole lot), and my music is up on spotify since i think july, and i only have around 170 streams, i pitch to playlists, i do what i can, i cant even figure out how to get pitched to itunes. im very frustrated. if i have low numbers then my music isnt being heard by those who might benefit from it, its christian music, which i would also like to monetize, if you are on a fixed income you know how money can be tight and a hobby that might help is always good. help me?

Guerrillas, I want to make this as clear and factual as possible because I do NOT want anybody misunderstanding what I have been doing and showing in my videos. I use search-based strategies myself, but that does NOT mean DistroKid, Spotify, Apple Music, or any other streaming service has approved that strategy. There is also currently NO published DistroKid rule that I have found that says: "Using a keyword automatically gets your DistroKid account banned." I do not want anyone spreading that as fact. But, ⚠️ IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE SEARCH TERMS IN YOUR SONG OR ALBUM TITLES, YOU ARE DOING IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM JUST SHARING WHAT I AM DOING AND WHAT IS WORKING FOR ME. However, DistroKid DOES publish rules that are extremely relevant to this discussion. 📌 DIRECTLY FROM DISTROKID: TITLE FORMATTING DistroKid says streaming services don't accept titles containing: ("Too much extra information" or "Strange things in parentheses") DIRECT DISTROKID SOURCE: https://support.distrokid.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033900034-Release-and-Track-Title-Formatting-Issues DistroKid even gives examples on that page where descriptive genre information added to a title is removed, as well as an example involving an artist-name "type beat" phrase. That is important. DO NOT USE THE WORD "TYPE BEAT" AT ALL! This means that just because a search term accurately describes your song DOES NOT automatically mean adding that term to the title is acceptable metadata. Relevance and metadata compliance are two separate questions. 📌 DIRECTLY FROM DISTROKID: SEARCH TERM FLOODING DistroKid specifically discusses "search term flooding" in its soundtrack rules. DIRECTLY FROM DISTROKID: ("covers should not include 'from' in their titles in reference to the soundtrack they are from, as this is considered search term flooding.")

ALL my albums and singles Backlog is Now on Youtube🙏 See response from DistroKid, I hope it helps others.

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...
