Hello,

I wonder what Methods, Tactics, Fields, Money Making, etc... like listening to your own songs on Spotify is called?

Pre 2020 Spotify literally didn't care for people who listened to their own songs.

You not even needed KYC for payouts and could cash out hundreds of artists on the same PayPal with no issues.

It wasn't really illegal, nor really legal (if you used your own accounts)

What is stuff like that called?

Not really Fraud

Not really Blackhat

Not really Exploiting / System Exploiting

Not really Cybercrime

Not really Hacking

It was like a Loophole in the Matrix for Money printing

-It was like a bug in a system.

-It was scalable.

-It was automatized.

-It really had no defense from Spotifys side.

-It was underground and widely unknown before 2020.

So what was it and where to find forums for methods like that?

First I did read on BHW mid 2017 about it, but just the idea of it. There weren't really people doing or planning it.

I've met people by trying it on my own (for scientific researches) in 2017 in telegram groups.

But there has to be a community for stuff like that somewhere in the internet?
