Fake fans over the scene

Hi there!


Since Harderstate is closed and hardtraxx is biggest open hard forum at the moment I'm posting it here.

Some artists profiles were a bit suspicious for me because of amount of likes, so i digged it.
When you go to facebook fanpage/ likes you get some interesting infos. For example:

https://www.facebook.com/blutoniumboyofficial/likes


18k likes? Who likes his new shit music tbh?
But what is the "Most Popular City"? Mexico City, Distrito Federal.

And if you look at his fanbase growings you see there was 0, 0, 0 and more fucking zero new fans per week. Now it's more than 2k per week.


So i digged what's about that Mexico City, why this not anything other. What I've found:

You may think - ok who cares about Blutonium Boy.
But what if I tell you the same about:

The Magic Show - GENERAL profile(Tartaros or Juized are "clear"): https://www.facebook.com/Titamagicshow/likes


Even silly youtube uploader fanpage: https://www.facebook.com/LegendaryUploadzz/likes


and probably maaaaaaany more, which i haven't checked.
If your favourite artist don't have counter of likes on main page just type /likes right after the profile name.


huge thumb up to Theracords, which whole crew is "clear"
Also the most hated(for buying fans in the past) Zatox is clear.


I know it's probably obvious that some artists buying their likes but this is bigger than I expected.
Post your findings and spread the word.

This could just be Facebook malfunctioning. Also I don't believe most artist have full control over their page but their managers who may buy likes.

Care.

First of all, welcome

Second, I don't know whether your 'investigation' really is solid evidence. Mexico city is, behind Tokyo, the biggest city of the world. The number of hardstyle events in both North and South America is growing really fast, as is the popularity of hardstyle in general. The fact that the most likes are from Mexico city is therefore not solid proof of buying likes in my opinion.
As for the distribution of the number of likes, this may very well be positively related to bookings, releases or other stuff concerning the artist. Blutonium Boy got a lot of attention recently with his troll tracks, after a pretty long period of inactivity. And although I'm sure everyone here on this forum agrees that these tracks are absolutely horrible, I'm afraid that the 'new generation' of hardstyle listeners (who mainly know the popular names and have not, yet, deepened their sense of style) may actually not realise how horrible it is.
The fact that Theracords and TMS artists do not have a large fanbase in Mexico City could also simply mean that their music has not reached overseas yet, which is not strange since AFAIK none of them have actually performed there.

But, let me get 1 thing straight, I'm almost certain that some artists buy their likes as well. However, I don't think this kind of research is solid enough to serve as evidence; I'm afraid the only way to be certain would be if the artist admits doing this.

I don't care. When I like a DJ on Facebook I'm interested in what he's doing. And I don't care if he also send it to people who doesn't exist. Also the fact how many 'likes' he got on Facebook is something I don't care about.

I don't care too much about facebook likes, but you can add Radical Redemption to the list if that were to be true.

Mexico stad heeft 32 miljoen inwoners, zo gek is dat dus nog niet en aangezien Hardstyle sneller groeit dan soa's zich verspreiden over heel Afrika is dat zo gek toch niet?

Radical Redemption heeft zelfs een TSoS clubtour daar gedaan toch? Blijkbaar wel een grote hoeveelheid dance liefhebbers daar.

1. I know Mexico City isone of the biggest cities in the World.
But you think someone said on national TV: go and like hardstyle artists? It's kind of "boom", it doesn't look real.

2. Look at The Vision likes:
https://www.facebook.com/TheVisionOfficial/likes
It was 2k likes weekly for some period and not it is about 30 likes.

Why? Because his period of bought likes has ended


3. Look at X-Pander likes:
https://www.facebook.com/XPanderFr/likes

you can say, his track is on A2 Unleashed!!11 But why E-forces best city is Nijmegen, Gelderland?
And how the heck X-Pander reached almost the same count of fans as Geck-o which is 12378923498x more popular, playing on big gigs every(?) weekend? And more than Titan, guy from Fusion?




At all it makes me sad, most of you don't care about. It's faking YOU, ghost producing is also faking.. so at all everything will be fake.

I don't think artists like The Vision will pay 229,96 weekly for just Likes on fb...

Denk dat The Vision hier vanzelf reageert.

this is not about Mexican fans but still.

this what you have above, is price for first-time individual client. I'm pretty sure you can get more but chepear, you know how it works

Facebook is deleting non-active pages

dat hele gelike is zowiezo onzin..
bij teveel dj's/producers in de dance/harddance scene heb ik het gevoel dat het niet om de muziek gaat maar om de likes..

B-Front, Crypsis, Radical Redemption, Arkaine, The Prophet, Adrenalize, Atmozfears en Scantraxx zijn ook vrij populair in mexico.

Wildstylez is in Santiago, Region Metropolitana populair. Terwijl je het toch in Nederland/Spanje zou verwachten aangezien YoS daar op nationale radio gedraaid wordt.

Thera is gelukkig in alleen in Arnhem hele populair :')

Conclusie: De artiesten zijn aandachts geil die zo veel mogelijk likes willen hebben die niet eens echt zijn.
Kansloos als je het mij vraagt. Vergelijk het met wielrenners die doping gebruiken. De grootste willen zijn maar niet op eigen kracht kunnen doen.

This could also be a facebook-error. Astronomy Picture Of The Day for example is also most popular in Mexico City

Maybe the people in Mexico City are very happy people! There's nothing they don't like!

Nee ik denk omdat het beweringen zijn zonder fatsoenlijk bewijs, oftewel onzin.
