Looks like he was falsely accused of using bot farms to bump his streams, but according to his Discord his accounts have been restored.

I wonder if this was a nefarious complaint made by someone. Seems pretty random otherwise.

Although Benn himself has a theory:

I was banned due to "streaming fraud":

• 1 day after giving a tip to short $SPOT

• 12 days after giving NAMM speech about Spotify's effect on music

• 3 months after exposing Spotify's involvement in money laundering

• 1 year after a video about Spotify's unsustainability 🤐💀

Spotify isn't a music company, they're using your musical taste for "cultural anthropology", connecting it to other data points so they basically know more about everybody than even FB. Maybe not a suprise that Ek is one of Zucks biggest buddies.

For one thing, he should be smart enough to never, ever give investing advice out on any platform. You're just opening yourself up to lawsuits. Telling people to short Spotify stock was a dumb move.
