Hello everyone, I’m happy to see this conversation. The issue as I see it is that we have two possible new (relative to traditional music) distribution systems. One is rss and one is Nostr and both provide for instant global monetization of music. Ainsley success has come from using all of it but it has not been easy. Most Nostr apps are building in a developer bubble and none have taken the time to understand what artists need. That is not a reflection on the app builders who care about music it’s just a fact that Tunestr, Wavlake and even fountain are just new versions of walled gardens. It’s exhausting, as an artist, trying to navigate it all and deal with the political ideologies of each side. As everyone here know I’ve been trying to solve for a solution that bridges both for 2.5 years now. Bitfest was an amazing conference but my take away is that we are not there and this new way is not working for musicians…. Yet.
