DONT COUNT YOUR STREAMS
Perfect for independent artists
Stole my royalties
Bull
Paid for a full year of DEBUT+ and my music was taken down and app issues no help
Unfair/ Treated horribly
Shortly after upgrading, my account was permanently terminated due to alleged “abnormal streaming activity.” I repeatedly asked what specific activity was identified, where it supposedly came from, and what evidence was used to reach this decision. Unfortunately, I never received clear answers—only repeated statements that the decision was final and references to the Terms of Use.
What disappointed me the most was the lack of transparency. If there was truly an issue, I wanted to understand it so I could prevent it from ever happening again. Instead, I felt like my questions were never actually addressed.
To make matters worse, I paid for a yearly Select subscription that I can no longer use. Apple denied my refund request, and UnitedMasters also refused to issue a refund, even though my account was terminated shortly after I upgraded. Paying for a service that became unavailable almost immediately has been extremely frustrating.
I respected UnitedMasters for many years, which is why this experience has been so disappointing. I hope they improve communication, transparency, and the way they handle long-time independent artists in situations like mine.
