ATTENTION LOUIES, ot5s, directioners, larries, ANYONE STREAMING DEFENCELESS!! spread this! this is the proper way to stream to avoid streams not counting! here is a carrd, I’ll also write the info out in this thread if that’s easier for you! https://louis-playlists.carrd.co/#guide
1. Use focused streaming playlists!!! you can make your own with songs you enjoy, or there’s plenty out there already for anyone’s music taste. If it’s all louis on loop it may be counted as spam.
NO
YES 
NO
YES
A common playlist format is defenceless, then 3 songs by other artists, then defenceless again, as you can see in the “yes” above. It’s important to act like a human - pause, skip, switch focused playlists, manually search for songs- you don’t want to seem like a bot.
turn off auto play: Open Spotify > Go to home > settings > playback > autoplay.
If possible, use a premium account because streams will count more. Of course you can still stream without premium though- preferably on the desktop/web version because you can turn off shuffle, which you should have off if possible.
Having several artists on the playlist is important. Do not loop songs, artists, or playlists. It helps to avoid spam. Choose or make a playlist that you enjoy, so that it doesn’t feel like a task to stream (it shouldn’t). Go on with your day and enjoy the music!
Don’t mute it! If you can’t listen, just plug in some earbuds or put the volume on the lowest setting, but don’t turn it off or it won’t count.
Don’t use a vpn or apk.
ok that’s it! I was just writing it all out in case people needed to see it that way to spread it faster, please see the account @LWTPLAYLISTS who made the carrd and have been working hard and doing GREAT this week with defenceless. great job streaming, so proud of you all!
