Where do people actually buy Spotify plays without getting botted to death?

serious question. Every "buy spotify plays" site looks sketchy af and half of them disappear after 2 weeks lol. I tested a few cheap panels and my track got removed from discovery mode after. Lesson learned. Anyone found something that looks at least semi legit? Not expecting miracles obviously. Just trying to push initial traction on new releases. I've seen people mention Streaming Mafia, UseViral, and some private SMM panels here and there. Any real experiences?

Anyone else secretly using Spotify bot stream campaigns just to trigger the algorithm?

I know people here hate talking about it openly but let’s be real...

A LOT of artists are using stream boosts at the beginning of releases. We know that all artisy know streamingmafia, morethanpanel, justanotherpanel!!!

Not talking about obvious bot farms. I mean small campaigns to help push discover weekly / radio.

I experimented with around 15k streams across different services and weirdly enough one song actually started getting organic saves after.

Could be coincidence idk.

Anyone else tested this?

anyone actually using scopetakeoff for actual bids?

hey guys. been banging my head against the wall with our current setup. right now its just me using old pdfs and some messy excel sheets to bid. its getting way too slow rn. been looking at all in one tools and saw scopetakeoff. stack was another one i checked but its insanely expensive. scopetakeoff claims to do the pdf measuring and assemblies together but idk. has anyone actually put a real project through it? i usually hate learning new software because it always feels clunky at first. just wondering if the learning curve is terrible or if its actually usable.

What part of your daily billing workflow is most frustrating?

To those of you that work in medical billing, what do you actually do with your time on a daily basis?

Is it eligibility/benefits, submitting claims, denials, prior auths, correcting claims, follow up with insurance, getting info from providers or something else?

I think people outside of billing don't realize how many little things have to happen to get one claim thru.

What do you wish was more automated in the process?

Opening five bottles of water to make soup feels incredibly stupid

was standing in my kitchen yesterday making a big pot of soup for my weekly meal prep. tbh I got halfway through twisting the cap off my fifth plastic bottle of water to dump into the pot, looked at the pile of empty bottles on my counter, and realized this has gotten completely ridiculous.

For context, my apartment building is pretty old and our tap water aggressively tastes like a public swimming pool. I have always drank bottled water because of it, but lately that habit crept into my cooking.

So I started using bottled water. but doing weekly prep means I am suddenly lugging heavy cases of water up three flights of stairs every few days just to make dinner.

i cannot install a proper under-sink filter. ended up putting an Aigerri countertop RO next to my coffee maker since it does not need to be hooked up to any pipes.
