ReverbNation & how to skin small musiciansSo let me state some facts here about my terrible experience with ReverbNation. Solely to raise awareness about these activities.1. From the moment I had become a member, ReverbNation urged me to try to promote my music by using their tools and features. Naturally they only highlight the 3 day free trial and hide the small letters and conditions. A lot of companies do this, but still, there are limits to these shady ways of promoting. Let me explain:2. At first I was cautious about using my credit card, but what the heck. What’s the worst that can happen? It’s a LEGAL platform and surely they’ll have the decency to ASK ME if I would like to continue with a paying premium plan and clearly mention how much I would be paying. One would think that, right?3. Well, they don’t! After the 3 day trial (I DID NOT GET ANY NOTIFICATIONS about payments) Reverberation started using my credit card details to take 70 DOLLARS EACH WEEK for something I presumably had signed up for. Fortunately I saw this when I received my bill from my MasterCard. Unfortunately, by then, ReverbNation had already taken 450 DOLLARS (!!) of my bank account without my permission or without even giving me the option to continue or cancel, which is usually standard procedure with online payments. Even your laptop asks you if you are sure you want to continue or cancel every time you click on something (I mean, come on!)4. When I addressed customer support with this misunderstanding, I was expecting some “support” (hence the name “customer support”) in this matter and hopefully some refunding, because I didn’t even use these so called services I paid for. But no, over 3 times I received a standard reply referring to some small letters in a multi-paged agreement/disclaimer. Sorry, I’m lying, I did get a refund offer of 19,95 eur (of 450 dollars) for some reason.5. Well there you go people. That’s what’s wrong in today’s society. Soul -and heartless companies that thrive on the backs of hard working people. Providing a dishonest service that highlights the “join us! it's free!”, under cover of legal loopholes to ensure they get their money, with or without your permission. I think this is the exact definition of “RACKETEERING” (which is illegal by the way).ReverbNation, I hope you enjoy my money the way I would have enjoyed it.
I got to around 50 fans and realised none of it is real. Its all just artists liking other artists so they will in turn like them. Most of the artists that 'liked' me hadn't even listened to the music. The crowd reviews I suspect are performed by teenagers certainly they were people with very limited knowledge of music and few reference points outwith their limited sphere of knowledge. Some of them had clearly not listened to the music at all as they liked instruments that were not present on the recording. The 'opportunities' presented thought numerous are utterly meaningless when you research them. Yes you can have your music played on an online radio station (that has no listeners) or you might get chosen to play a gig (in a venue you've never hear of in front of an audience made up on friends and families of the ten Reverbnation artists selected to play). Yes you can get yourself into the top ten in your genre in your region but what does it mean when nobody is actually listening to the music?
