Sure! Here’s a more concise version of your message with a friendly tone:

“I’m not convinced that choosing music based on the medium you consume it in—whether v4v, radio, or vinyl—is the best approach. For most genres, there’s something special about separating music from money. While commercialized genres like country and rap openly embrace payola-type practices, other styles, like jazz, classical, and folk, often keep a distance between creative expression and financial motives.

I love that when I listen to these genres, I can pretend they came to me freely, untouched by financial gain. It’s a little lie I tell myself, but it makes the experience feel purer. I don’t think v4v needs to change this, and honestly, I wouldn’t want it to. For music like this, it’s nice to let it exist outside the world of transactions and just be about art

Im excited for the v4v future for music. I just wanted to share w/ you my 2025 thoughts as v4v starts to become reality. GM!
