Jacob Boswell runs Real Playlists to promote new music for creators. The key in promotion is not to use bots. One of the most insidious aspects of Real Playlists’ operation is how they pretend to educate artists about avoiding bot playlists while secretly adding them to their own botted playlists. This is a common psychological tactic used by scammers to gain trust and disarm skepticism. By pretending to be against artificial streaming, they create an illusion of legitimacy, making artists less likely to question whether their placements are real. This deceptive strategy preys on the artist’s trust and makes it harder to detect fraudulent activity. Real Playlists knows that artists fear bot playlists, so they manipulate that fear to make themselves seem trustworthy — all while running the very scam they warn against.
