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.")

Is anyone having issues finding there music on Pandora. I’ve been doing this for about 2 months now and I have over 100 songs uploaded and none of them are on Pandora. I’ve seen other AI artists there that I know.

I thought AI music wasn't allowed on stuff such as Release Radar, Discover Weekly, and Editorial Playlists. Weird o.O

So are you guys noticing this. Anyone just starting out not getting paid for song under 1k streams. See photo below. This is what Gemini has told me.

First I want to say if this has been covered and I missed it I apologize. If a video about this from you Jesse is out there, I apologize and would love the link for it. I noticed Spotify has made some changes concerning AI that will take place in September. From what I’m seeing online, it sounds in the writing that AI music of any form will not be available for listening on there platform. Could anyone that knows more about what Spotify and other platforms are doing help explain what’s actually going on? A lot of fear mongers out there on YouTube, and I’ve learned that I can trust this group of people. Jesse has been very open, helpful and just plain real about everything.
