There’s been a LOTTTT of debate on whether United Masters is a scam or not. First things first. I’m a real artist who uses this. So I’m not bias. My name is JD with only 3 albums out. I’m gonna talk about my current experience. I have I little over 1000 views (which is nothing lol). Some of my artwork has been denied for certain albums or singles. HOWEVER, whenever I reach out (which has been a lot) I always hear back from the support team within 1-2 business days. There’s bound to be minor technical issues, but they’ve all been quickly solved for me and the support team. I looked up famous artists who used UM. the only one I knew was NLE CHOPPA. if you watch videos, NLE started out with UM and ended up gaining significant traction. So idk about the whole “artists get banned if they gain significant traction”. Idk how true that is. I can’t speak from experience, but it seems legit. Next, there’s been concerns regarding the company using Google analytics to track artists history with views. I will say that this is true. However, a lot of companies do this. The only issue I see, is tracking without viewer consent. Personally, I am not concerned with this. To each their own I suppose I see a lot of Reddit posts and TikTok posts saying United masters is a scam. But both platforms are known for lies and scams themselves. Hope this helped some of you

Stay far away if you actually care about your music. UnitedMasters try’s to seem like they’re open to helping smaller artists when they actually are just out to scam you and take your money. Please read the reviews on the BBB website and there is a Reddit page that multiple artist write on how UnitedMasters scams them. They like to penalize you based on their google analytics. Employees have stated themselves that they USE GOOGLE ANALYTICS for streaming history. UnitedMasters will take down your music with a quickness if you start gaining traction within the community because to them it’s “inorganic” when it’s not and I put the effort to put myself out there. You have others who are literally buying streams that are not organic but yet UnitedMasters will pay those out! I’ve argued with them, provided them with factual evidence that my streams are organic but they don’t care. It’s happened multiple times and I’ve provided evidence every time just for them to apologize and reinstate my music because they know they’re wrong! This time they didn’t care what evidence I provided and sent me on my way. They took the money I earned this month and my yearly SELECT subscription that I didn’t get to use the whole year because their “google analytics and intuition” was false.

Where do I even start? This platform is like a magical music highway that delivered my tracks straight to the ears of people I didn't even know existed! Before, I was just playing my music for my cat (he loved it, by the way), but now, thanks to this streaming miracle, I'm reaching audiences from New York to Tokyo! The user interface is smoother than a sax solo on a summer night, and the support team is so responsive, they must be powered by caffeine and fairy dust. They really *get* artists. Now my music is out there, changing lives, curing bad moods, and maybe even inspiring a future DJ or two!So if you’re looking to get your art into the world, this is the place. They've turned my tiny soundwaves into a full-blown tidal wave of joy across the globe. Bravo!

As an independent artist. I’ve been distributing my music on this app for 3 years on certain streaming plats and got a lot of plays/streams from it too. What upsets me a lot is that for all these years united-masters was supposed to be a free distributor and they took that away from us. And now if you don’t switch to select (aka premium) they can and will remove all your music without paying you. They still owe me $2K dollars. Their service is so terrible and wack. I’ve never been this mad in my life and i don’t want any other artist to go through this. I have completely switched distributors and i’m never using unitedmasters again and i definitely would not recommend anybody else to. If you are an artist especially an upcoming one please use distrokid, amuse, or something! Any distributor that’s not unitedmasters because they do not care about their artist, they are just money hungry and they are scammers. They are making us pay $60 for a plan when there’s literally other distributors that provide you plans for like 25-30 dollars. And way better than this crap
