Encountering issues logging into your SoundCloud for Artists account, especially persistent login loops or unresponsive pages, can be frustrating. This problem may indicate that your account has been terminated due to abnormal streaming activity, such as botting or inflating play counts with fake streams. In these cases, dashboard access is revoked, and any accrued earnings are frozen. This article explains the causes, what it means for your account, and the steps you can take next.
Understanding Account Termination
SoundCloud is committed to fostering a fair and authentic platform for both listeners and creators. Accounts engaged in abnormal or fraudulent streaming activity, such as bot plays or purchased streams, may be subject to immediate termination. This step is taken to maintain integrity and protect genuine artists and fans alike.
