Digital platforms like Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and YouTube Music promise fair pay for artists. But what happens when someone cheats the system? That's exactly what North Carolina musician Michael Smith did, raking in over $10 million by tricking these platforms with AI-generated songs and bots.

This wasn’t just a minor fraud. Smith created hundreds of thousands of AI-generated songs and streamed them billions of times with the help of bots, all while evading detection with VPNs. For five years, he manipulated the system, proving just how vulnerable the streaming economy can be. When schemes like this work, real artists suffer, and the integrity of digital music gets called into question.

"How can honest musicians compete?" wonders an independent artist who’s been struggling to get noticed. "If the game is rigged, is there any hope for real talent to shine?"
