Is this normal?

First off, let me say that I'm definitely not trying to offend anybody and I'm not against what yall do here. I think that this is an awesome community and the work that yall do, with the objective in mind, is truely amazing and on point. The prospect of the revenue possibilities is enticing by itself, not to mention being on the forefront of a tech wave. I've been thinking about this for the past few days and my heart is pulled in two directions. I know I can follow the instructions and produce a product that the consumer is asking for, but in the process I feel like I might start to lose the essence of what brought me here in the first place. I love music. Anybody who listens to my content will recognize that it is not done with just a few click and that real effort is put in to each and every upload. Every song that I have made came from real world experiences in my life. I can't help but feel that if I deviate from that, then I'll not be staying true to who I am as an artist. But on the flipside of that coin, $15k a month is life changing and definitely doable with this system. Idk. Has anybody else had this internal conflict also? I'm still really new to this ai music thing and only recently came across this community. Leave your comments and thoughts.

My account was restricted/suspended about a month ago due to an editorial violation. However, my streams are still ongoing, and the earnings are still showing on my dashboard. My question is: Has anyone successfully received their payout after an editorial violation? I'd appreciate hearing about your personal experience. Thank you!

I think many already know this. But I’m sure that still many don’t know. I think I remember Jesse hinting at this as well. So for example: if you create a genre specific playlist in Spotify that uniquely refers to your type of music, after a while it ends up searchable in the search engines. Also and importantly within Spotify as well as many music platforms. Following similar music in said playlist. For Volk on Spotify simply search for Russian Rap. You instantly get Volks Hard Russian Rap and some others. Don’t forget to follow your favorites in that playlist as well as mixed with your own. It’s all search engine optimization. 🔥🔥🔥

Hey AI Guerrillas! I wanted to share my experience with Ditto Music, especially for anyone here distributing AI music or considering different distribution platforms. I’ve been using both DistroKid and Ditto Music for a while. I decided to try Ditto because I wanted to diversify and test another distribution service instead of relying on only one platform. Unfortunately, after around four months, my experience has been pretty disappointing. The biggest issue is payments. The money I’ve earned is still showing as pending, even after four months. With DistroKid, in my experience, earnings usually started appearing after around two months, so this delay feels strange and frustrating. Releases are also quite slow. You normally need to schedule them at least 10 days in advance, and faster releases require an additional payment. That can be annoying when you want to release music more frequently. I also find Ditto’s platform much less convenient than DistroKid, especially when uploading several songs as part of one album. There are many limitations, and the whole process can feel unnecessarily complicated. To be fair, their customer support has been good. I don’t want to ignore the positive side. The support team has responded and tried to help, but unfortunately, the distribution service itself has not been good in my experience. The main reason I’m writing this post is because I’ve been working with one artist through Ditto for around seven months. Recently, they started rejecting the artist’s new singles because they claimed the artist name contains an "SEO keyword" This was extremely frustrating. I manage more than 15 artists through DistroKid, and many of their names could also be considered SEO-related, but I’ve never faced this issue there, especially after an artist has already been releasing music for months. So, I just wanted to share my personal experience in case it helps anyone who is choosing a distributor. I’ve tested several distribution services so far, and DistroKid is still the best one for me. I’m also planning to test TuneCore soon.
