    Dude it’s not “on time”. DistroKid’s paying you as soon as they get it, whereas other DSPs are essentially holding onto it while they get it and then giving it to you at the beginning of the next month. You’re actually getting it sooner with DistroKid.

    Most of channels that copy Leyland Kirby's work, or titles on their tracks have their videos put to CZcams by DistroKid. It's only for the better if people hate them, even if it's because they don't get money.

    Great video !. However people still need to work on their marketing allthough they can upload endlessly music onto plattforms. This in order to get known by a particular audience or audience in general. Ohterwise they never gonna be heard. The pros of a real record company is that a record company has the big money to invest in for example marketing and merchandise. Nowadays its easy to distribute music, but other topics are left.

Hi I don’t make music but I listen to a lot of newer artist bc CZcams loves feeding me underground stuff (yay) and I noticed “provided my CZcams by distrokid” under a lot so I looked up if that was some guy ripping people’s music and uploading only to find out it’s a legit service music people actually use but the service doesn’t actually have time to pay you the same way new startup businesses do to THEIR workers. Anyways yeah I know knowledge probably just yall and me know now and that’s kinda cool. Good luck with that!
