A lot of "assumptions" are being made by people that simply aren't true. Why damage a company simply because you feel it's okay to "guess" what you think they are doing wrong? I am pretty disappointed that some people who should know better are making inaccurate commentary here without really knowing facts.


Usually assumptions like this are made strictly because the information is not clearly posted or easily found. With how a song is "tracked" on a users profile - it does not state anywhere that those listens are over and above the "judged" results. Maybe this is an oversight they ought to look at. Since the claim is made that people are supposedly getting 1,000's of "listens" where are people seeing/getting those numbers? Because I'm not finding them.

The question posed on this thread is "Where is your song at on Ourstage?" That's what I posted based on the information that I saw. I wasn't slamming them or damaging them, but I do believe there can be flaws in the system. There is no perfect system and I've already told you what I did think of it - that hasn't changed.

If it's this damaging, it's probably time to delete the thread and start over.
