tricks to bypass soulseek "filtering/censorship"

I use soulseek (well nicotine+ for linux, but same network). For years know I have know that searching for certain terms will fail to give results because they are being filtered. For example "bryan" or "adams" returns no results for me. Although I can find these items in other ways- I'm curious if there have been any new finds on how to bypass this?

Any ideas why this happens? I've gotten some blank results as well in some occasions and now I'm wondering if this is why

afaik they blacklisted certain search terms after getting copyright strikes, not sure where i read that though.

That thread is from 12 years ago so things haven't gotten worse thankfully.

yeah, i have no idea why or how but soulseek seems to be flying under the radar :)

I couldn't run an internet radio station without it and imagine there are many other similar stations.

In the old days labels used to secretly pay AM Radio stations to play their artists. The rort was called payola.
