I just received this email from a guy I dont know:

--------------------E-mail Start---------------------------
Soundcloud reputation
Manage your reputation/image!
As an artist you will probably know it's very hard to get your music out there and to be heard by a lot of people around the world

The most popular artists among us always have a huge amount followers, plays, comments, reposts and loves on Soundcloud. Those statistics will generate the psychological trigger to check their music out because people will think "He must be some big Guitarist/Rapper/Pop artists/DJ or Producer".

I am able to give you the opportunity to be the owner of such an attractive profile!
At this moment we have over the 200+ satisfied and returning customers. We developed a new website to make things easier and more accessible for you!

Customized Comments

All comments are written manually, so they fit your track perfectly.
It’s also possible to provide us with a list of comments in a text or wordpad document.
To ensure everything looks super realistic we use variable time delays.
Check it out!

Realistic Reposts

All Reposts are managed with super realistic user profiles. All the profiles have followers variable between 15 and 100+, usernames without numbers, display picture or customized logo, filled in information and some got uploaded music!
Check it out!

Superstar packages

Our superstar packages include super realistic Soundcloud followers, reposts, customized comments, likes and plays. There are 4 variations available to fit your needs; basic, standard, advance and premium.
Check it out!


--------------------E-mail Ends---------------------------

I knew there were such thing as bots that allow you to have super statistics in soundcloud etc. but that someone sends me this so clearly and open actually makes me angry. They are saying everything like its totally normal to do this things and legit and everybody should do it because its the only way...

Edit: (The flattering feeling is because of receiving such an email :p. For this to happen I suppose it means I received enough real comments and plays to deserve it ...maybe...)

Call me naive (birth name), but I had no idea that actually happened. :/
I'm appalled, but at the same time, not surprised.

...The things people will do for a public facade.

As a musician, I'll take 15 dedicated listeners over 10,000 mindless clones any-day.

Totally agree about the 15 people. Why would I want to cheat in this? It would be only lying to myself...

Yeah, I've really never gotten that mentality. It's like the bizarre economy of twitter followers. You follow someone with the expectation that they will follow you back and then un-follow if they don't, but is that really doing you much good? If you have 50k followers and the majority of them followed you out that bizarre social obligation, how many of them are actually interested enough in what you're doing to pick your work out of their feed? If you have that many followers and none of them really know who you are, the only person who that numbers is impressing is yourself. It's the same with Soundcloud plays/reposts. Is anyone legitimately attracted to your page by that shit and if so, what are the chances that many of them will stick around long term?

Whenever I post a track it seems to get liked or reposted by some guy with a 'Buy Soundcloud Followers' logo. It makes me sad because I don't know if they actually... like... it or not. Obviously I didn't prompt this, it's probably some dumb sort of promotion.

I don't even understand how this type of 'popularity' would do any good. It might boost sales (if you're even trying to sell) temporarily, but only the few devoted fans would actually buy the thing you'll make AFTER that

Yeah, looks like the one in question was deleted actually.

Also, I always see users with tens of thousands of followers but no tracks posted. They are famous names like Bob Marley and the like, but what's the point? Actually, the whole follow system is stupid, so I might as well not even bother.

Just report it to the soundcloud crew (and yes, btw, you should be pissed)
Something like that happened to me before (they even started to follow me and repost without asking)
and I reported it to the staff. They thanked me saying they're trying to fight this kind of people.
