RE: CHOON (MUSIC STREAMING BLOCkHAIN PLATFORM, THE HISTORY OF A FAILURE! )

in #music5 years ago

Quite a piece here.

It always baffled me how one artist can have 3-8 tracks yet have had SO many streams though on the top artists though. If they have spent £4k then that's up to them. I personally would spend that money travelling (but then I'm a traveller/blogger too 😂)

Looks like "I like meth" is back at the top tracks again now - great image!

@nickyhavey......It is up to them, yes maybe in old streaming platforms...but a facebook add is a bot...a payed bot...but a bot...those plays are as artificial as Donatella Versace's face...and clearly against their TOS as the plays generated y adds are just clickbait, people who press those adds just doing it not knowing what is behind...if those people would become fans and then play within the platform and save those playlists that would be great...but if they had 2 and 5 followers each after two years doing that ...shows two things one that they didn't increase their fan base and those plays were just press and go so no follow up and second the only plays they and the listeners accounts have never increased as we have proved by placing those tracks where we want them as today#s trolling tracks to show there are nor listeners using Choon only us artist maintaining the boat afloat...and strangely most of us the most engaged and biggest earners have been targeted all in one go...what a coincidence....there is no denying that as any platform they are prone to have manipulation and cheats as i shown how easily it can be done and how many times we complained seeing those two names in there....the hard truth is that today after stopping their playlist (breaching their TOS likely warning ) they are both still there...for us not even a warning and only a form to prove my innocence really???? Shouldn't it be the other way around they warning and proving before taking your money and reputation away...??? ...of course not unless you are the only fountain of financing by paying the ads yourself and not the company...where are the investors they claimed in the cancellation of the ICO, where are the investors now that their main asset and other 4 cofounders vanished? what are the business plans?....they have NADA...that is the truth....only a pretty working platform...that has not much to offer than any other streaming site nowadays...

A Facebook ad isn't a bot though. There are bot farm services out there but a Facebook ad just puts your profile/link (whatever it is you want to advertise) on the side bar or at the top of the newsfeed of the audience you're trying to target. I don't know what the person you're screenshotting has set to target so can't comment on that.

What Facebook ads are actually meant for is to either get your FB page and brand out there (like what I did with a fb ad campaign and totally regret it btw) or to take people to a landing page for email sign up. Taking them to a link that is neither of the above seems to me like a waste of money and you're basically promoting the platform itself. It's like paying for an advert to show your Soundcloud page - not much point in my personal opinion and experience but to each their own.

I did spend a LONG time last night reading the terms and conditions of service on their website and I have to say, I couldn't see anything in there that says they are liable for anything really. Including if the website just totally shut down and they went off. The immediate ban thing is mentioned if an account is found to be "breaching the terms and conditions" but I do think they should freeze or "lock" accounts rather than a straight up ban - put it into some sort of "under investigation" status. They absolutely could have done it better as I am just seeing little glimpses here and there of the backlash (I can't spend my whole time online so don't see the ins and outs).

I'm on the fence with it all.

yeah back to the origins i like meth is a n1 classic in Choon :D seems we are back to 2018 all over again...got the feeling you ever been cheated? Johnny Rotten Dixit

Doesn't make sense why you'd want that on your site to attract investors but then that guy has also spent money on fb ads to promote it too. Not that there is much competition now....

I never actually listened to it myself so can't comment on it's chart topping qualities
