Exactly, this makes it impossible for indie artists to compete. It all forces legit popular artists to cheat too. Taylor Swift can't have ice spice getting more views than her. Ice went from 1 mil to 7 mil in 30 minutes SMH
Indie artists typically aren't in the same universe as stuff like this, so it simply doesn't affect them how people think it might. They aren't anywhere near a level where popular artists getting botted will affect their numbers.
your local rapper isn't losing out on streams/deals/partnerships cause Rapper X is botting and getting massive numbers cause they're already a top draw.
FWIW, Ice Spice exists in a space where a lot of female rappers never get out of..... people actively being engaged with your looks/outfits, but aren't spending dollars to see you on stage, or paying for your music.
