Stay away, fake bots

Stay away. They use bot streams to allegedly trigger algorithmic playlists. Your song suddenly get a ridiculously unrealistic boost, out of nowhere you have 2-300 listeners for your track, then it drops back to normal after 5-10 minutes. Use botted playlists too, playlists that appear for a while in Spotify, and then suddenly are removed for a while, before they re-appear. You do the math. He also use fake YouTube accounts to "boost" YouTube, adding comments and the same tactics with sudden boost of "viewers" out of nowhere. Everything looks fine, until Spotify remove the artificial streams, tell the distributor to remove the song, and your distributor keep all the cash. He has pre-written responses when this happens, and yet he claims to be very surprised and this of course only happens to one customer, and, of course, everything is someone else’s fault. Even with a song that has no other promo than his promo. When at first 70% of all streams are removed, even proven totally legit streams - and later, the song is taken off Spotify, Hayden has the nerve to claim its only Spotify that has issues, and they are doing illegitimate takedowns. Well, who cares, your actions, Hayden, caused the takedown. Still, he is refunding only 20% because allegedly Spotify is the only problem. So, Hayden thinks completely worthless "marketing" with fake accounts has a value. Well, it does, for him, because he is a scammer. His only plus is that he actually answers questions, at least until he ends up with the pre-written responses, he obviously use a lot, because he is so used to getting his customers into the same kind of problems. This dude has no credibility.
