I thought a lifetime music subscription was the ultimate filmmaker hack, but it turned into a nightmare. Here is the truth about my experience with Audiio, the licensing traps I found, and why this subscription is actually hurting my channel's future.
However they have had time to send me multiple requests to spend more on their platform.
00:00 The Copyright Saga Continues

01:53 The "Errant Claim" Excuse
03:00 Why I’m Speaking Up Publicly
04:44 The Blame shifting Strategy
06:21 Do They Actually Respect Creators?
07:55 The "Polite F*** Off" Offer
08:34 The Refund Trap: Why I Can’t Accept It
09:38 Money Over Ethics?
10:49 Misleading Advertising & Platform Flaws
12:09 Pages of Deleted Licenses
13:23 Zero Accountability: No Apology
14:02 Why I’ll Never Use This for Clients
Two weeks later, with zero follow up from Audiio on either new matter, with the videos remaining uncleared, I wrote to Audiio again asking them what was happening.
Instead of writing back, stating they had cleared the claims, they referenced this video here: youtu.be/q2vwNYxjLwk where I critic their tardy service and lack of ability to clear copy right claims and question the validity of their claims to own the music they are licensing. That video is now part 1 of this saga.
Todays video is a follow up to part 1, detailing how Audiio has responded to my commentary and my responses.
My only goal on this channel is to remain authentic. Be true to myself and you. That's why I only review products that I use. Audiio's music is something that I use.
Unfortunately my experience doesn't seem to match what other creators are saying when they promote the AUDIIO platform. In fact my channels experience is so vastly different, that I couldn't remain silent any longer. This is my channels story using the Audiio music platform. The problems I have had and the lack of support AUDIIO offers to the average creator online.
Audiio is one of the worlds largest music licensing platforms. I refused their offer to be product affiliate, and turned down real money because I wont lie for them. My user experience licensing music from their platform has been riddled with copyright strikes, none of which they have cleared. In this video I share my experience with communication with their customer service and how the marketing team thats tried to get me to shill for them.
