@GenR8tiv_art @DomainDomme @AethrMusik So if accept that his plays were inflated by bots (even though it's a lie), why don't you ask him how much those bots affected the play counts?

@DomainDomme @BigJoeSmith2000 @AethrMusik Ouch! 😬 You tell 'em girlfriend! 🤣 I wanted to know on that thread how he expected him to control bots on a new site when all sites have bot issues.

Absolutely had to support my friend Grimfel and his new platform @AethrMusik He’s one of the most wildly creative musicians I know, building something real while the jealous little gremlins throw their tantrums from the cheap seats. They tried to sabotage the momentum. They failed miserably. Small-dick energy met big-vision execution. Tragic for them. Beautiful for us. I donated because people like @GrimfelOfficial deserve support, success, and the loudest possible runway. Go build, king. We see you. ❤️🔥

@DomainDomme @AethrMusik Still no response to the actual claims.

@BigJoeSmith2000 @AethrMusik Why don’t you show your face and your real name? Your mother raised a coward.

@DomainDomme @AethrMusik Not lies. The site owner admitted that plays were inflated by 'bots' and that song tracking did not follow industry standards. Instead of blaming me, the question you should be asking is, "what percentage were bots responsible for?" and/or "what were the actual plays?"

@BigJoeSmith2000 @AethrMusik You didn’t ask a question. You posted lies.

@theoutdoors @AethrMusik I don't like people trying to scam AI artists.

@BigJoeSmith2000 @AethrMusik Why so mad, bro!? You are way too invested for some reason.

A message to those of you who are defending the scammers at @aethrmusik: Once a scammer, always a scammer.

@DomainDomme @AethrMusik You didn't answer the question.

@BigJoeSmith2000 @AethrMusik Listen here tiny Joe. Fvck off and then when you’re done go Fvck yourself. Then, sit on a cactus and rotate.

Even if you accept that @aethrmusik's admission that play counts were inflated by bots (they weren't) then the next question is: By how much? What percentage were bots? And how many were actually real?

@abandonedmuse Scammers gonna scam.

Haters gonna hate.

@abandonedmuse @AIandDesign Except for the fact that he's right: @aethrmusik was inflating play counts and misleading creators into promoting the fake counts. He was also caught lying about the number of sales he was making.

@AIandDesign It's insane to say for X, but yeah me neither.

This may very well be the most arrogant and narcissistic thing I've ever seen in the AI community. I have no words. Seriously. Mind: blown. WOW.

@seanward @AIandDesign He's right: @aethrmusik was inflating play counts and misleading creators into promoting the fake counts. The site's owner was also caught lying about the number of sales he was making.

@AIandDesign Without knowing the ins and outs of the situation, my read on it is that the creator sees a system being gamed and no longer wishes to participate in it. What am I missing?

@EvilBeasle Except you've been using @aethrmusik's fake play counts for clout. 11k plays in 3 days!!!! No-one belives that. x.com/EvilBeasle/sta…

Don’t like my music? Fine. Everyone’s got an opinion. But slagging my work for clout because you can’t pull views? Try harder. My art ain’t just “generate me…” and hit a button. Time and effort go into it. Think you’ve got it? Show it. Instead of bitching for clicks.

@nahplaya Imagine complaining about bots, while you put your music on @aethrmusik, a site whose owner actively inflates plays and then claims it was 'bots'.

*Views Are My Own* I had to pull my follow ✌🏼 from supporting @BLVCKLIGHTai His recent surge in followers suggests he's botting his account. When “artists” are more focused on inflating metrics than focus on the art, it poisons the well for everyone around them. It was never about chasing numbers dummies, it’s about the art. 🤙🏼

@tomislav_rupic That's amazing. How did you make that?

@deadsun_0 Crickets...

@deadsun_0 Why don't you ask the site owner? He's the one who said the play counts were inflated by bots.

This simply begs the question: How were plays measured before you were called out?

@BLVCKLIGHTai You can't build a community by lying to them.

@BLVCKLIGHTai It's never been about the music. Inflated metrics, slop, and ridiculous clams about getting investment, shows it's always been about promoting the site owner at the artists' expense.

I pulled my two tracks from aethrmusic ✌🏼 I ride hard for the homies… that hasn't changed. But I can't in good conscience keep my work on a platform where the loudest voices have hundreds of tracks or dozens of personas and have completely lost the plot. When “artists” are more focused on inflating metrics than focus on the art of chord progressions, melodies, and the actual architecture of a song, it poisons the well for everyone around them. The people who are genuinely there for the love of music deserve better than to be buried under that noise. I'm proud of Grim but I want my work to be showcased alongside top-in-class artists and musicians… not propped up next to low brow mass produced slop music or people who exploit platform systems just to manufacture attention they haven't earned or frankly deserve. It was never about chasing numbers dummies, it’s about the music. 🤙🏼🤘🏼✌🏼
