Hanita Harry Explains The Difference Between Farming Streams And Buying Streams
Nigerian Port Harcourt based music Rep and influencer, Hanita Harry has dished out the difference between Farming Streams and Buying Streams in Music.
She began by saying, “As an uprising artiste, when you buy streams for your songs on DSP’s, it sarcastically means your song is wack and you’re killing the career you haven’t even started.”
According to her, “Buying of streams is for the beautification of your track with unreal numbers. You’d buy 12,000 streams while in real time that track has done only 3,450?”
She drafted a clue from Rema, that if he buys streams for “Calm Down” now, it would only be for data because the song has served its purpose, but to the uprising artiste that doesn’t have close to 5k monthly listeners wants to follow suit? To impress who?
“In the other hand, Farming streams are practically realistic,” she hinted.
The question “Why?” pops up…this is because there is actual listening going on.
The optimization of Stream Farming, makes it possible for songs to conquer the geographical environment where it is directed at.
Hanita Harry pointed out an example thus: “If you take 2000 phones and link them to a particular track with UK as the targeted market. You generate a stream line and through that, the algorithm on that particular DSP you are targeting with, would change (depending on how deep the music penetrates and how solid the sound is).”
“If the sound is really good and it penetrates as much, it would pop up on their feeds and then people in UK would subconsciously stream it,” she concluded.
