Distrokid released half payment for apple, I guess 😏

Hey team 👋 Still no concrete news about July’s YouTube royalties through DistroKid. I’ve been looking for updates, but I can’t find anything clear. No proper explanation from either side, no YouTuber covering it that I’ve seen, and mostly speculation on Reddit… Honestly, this lack of communication isn’t normal. We should at least know what’s causing the delay and what to expect. On top of that, my views are dropping. Between the delayed payments and declining views, it’s been pretty tough to stay positive lately. I’m still putting in the work, but I won’t lie—it’s getting to me. How’s everyone else doing? Are you still waiting for July’s payments too? How are your views holding up? Hopefully @Jesse Hull or @Mark Draijer will have some news to share soon. Even a small, concrete update would help 🙏

Hey everyone! 👋 This is my first post here, so I just wanted to say hello! I have a few different music projects, but at the moment I'm mainly focused on Crusader Core — a mix of Gregorian chants, dark trap and cinematic medieval themes. Here's my YTchannel if anyone wants to check it out: Crusader Core I have a question for those of you using DistroKid . Have any of you had trouble getting your own lyric videos linked to the corresponding art tracks on YT Music? In my case, the videos use exactly the same audio as the distributed tracks and the titles include the exact track names ( more SEO in titles), but YT still hasn't matched most of them. Distrokid says the matching process is handled entirely by YT and that they can't do anything about it. What's strange is that on another artist channel I manage YT has matched videos with longer SEO-optimized titles just fine. Has anyone dealt with this and found a way to fix it? I'm curious if contacting YT support actually helps or if there's another workaround. I'd really appreciate any advice or hearing about your experiences. Thanks! 🙏
