Hey team 👋 Still no concrete news about July’s YouTube royalties through DistroKid. I’ve been looking for updates, but I can’t find anything clear. No proper explanation from either side, no YouTuber covering it that I’ve seen, and mostly speculation on Reddit… Honestly, this lack of communication isn’t normal. We should at least know what’s causing the delay and what to expect. On top of that, my views are dropping. Between the delayed payments and declining views, it’s been pretty tough to stay positive lately. I’m still putting in the work, but I won’t lie—it’s getting to me. How’s everyone else doing? Are you still waiting for July’s payments too? How are your views holding up? Hopefully @Jesse Hull or @Mark Draijer will have some news to share soon. Even a small, concrete update would help 🙏

I have a feeling that the AI music is pretty big, and has become overly congested. I am driving content, good looking content with AI Avatars & videos. Keep dropping music consistently, but i feel like i just can’t pop out and its been months. Tiktoks sit at 300-400 views per video while these other accs in similar genre push insane amounts, and have been pushing since they started. Again, the videos I make are similar. Yt shorts 1-2k, everything else pretty much dead. Long form videos barely get 20 views. Sometimes i think maybe i should just drop this and go try something different, been pushing for months and almost no results. No collabs, nobody wanting to feature. Feels like im just stuck in a loop.

Just crossed 1,004,583 views in 101 days, with an average watch time of 2:49 — 74.1% retention! Making music in my bedroom and seeing it reach this many people feels unreal. There’s a lot of work, doubt, and trial and error behind that screenshot, so I wanted to take a moment to enjoy this milestone. 🙏 If you’re still working toward your breakthrough, I know how frustrating slow progress can feel. Keep learning, keep improving, and give yourself time. Happy to share what I’ve learned if anyone has questions. We’re all figuring this out together 🤝

I don’t know when we will see YouTube money because I haven’t seen my money yet and it’s going into October now has any one got their money yet from YouTube on DistroKid yet I think about moving my music a different distribution platform like the one Suno just made a agreement with
