All of you may already know this, but a bunch of pay for repost channels such as Cell Network, EDM Bureau, EDMLead, Pump Your Soung, EDM network...etc all have fake followers and bots to boost plays. The one we used was Cell Network since Olly James and KEVU have used it before. I don't know if they've paid for the service, but all of the Cell Network partners reposted the track, so it seems that way. Before using the service, I checked KEVU and Olly James' comment section for their music that cell network reposted from over a year ago because now they have releases on Revealed Recordings so they are somewhat popular. Most of the comments seemed real and genuine, I'd say 90% was from real accounts. So we tried the service for our track to see if it really does get out to 500,000+ followers like they stated. Almost all fake. Fake plays/likes/comments. Maybe 1% of the "fanbase" was real people. DO NOT USE THESE SERVICES. The song has been taken down because it was painfully obvious how fake the engagement was.
It seems like the only way to get real plays as a new artist is to get your song featured on big channels such as Trap Nation, Nik Cooper, Mr. Suicide Sheep and a few other free channels. The problem with some of those is that most people don't follow your accounts, they just hear the song on those channels and move on. But if you continuously and frequently get featured on them, it will definitely help you.
My point is don't pay for repost, keep making music and try to get them on labels that have their songs make the beatport top 100 or get them featured on big tastemaker channels. Some of you might claim that beatport is also fake and people buy their way into the top 100, and while that may or may not be true, almost all big djs check beatport for new music, so at least your song has the chance to be heard by a successful dj.
