I used to love plebstr, not available anymore. Now I'm mixing Iris and Amethyst. If you ever find something better, let me know π π
Sara, one more thing that may be interesting as well, esp. in the context of sharing your music + #v4v πΆ check out nostr:nprofile1qqswwaynfjm9u2efuwe5lzepxt05fy4ux346v4kv3hppy8l5qa5gmcqpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vp39e3x7mr59ehkyum9wfmx2u30c2mxtr
Couldn't agree more ππ€ g'day, happy Monday
Thanks for sharing β‘𧑠the title looks interesting. Need to check this out. Also, nostr:nprofile1qqspe93c0rqxkfg6rn3jeepunt4fl28e0fxhrzsg22ce79akcfd0ewspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9e3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucn89ulxdtza have a look π
β¨Yet another reason why Decentralized music is the best space for independent artists like me β¨:
One morning I woke up to an unsettling email from my distribuor, "We've been notified by Spotify that they've removed your release due to artificial streaming: 'Never Knew'...We haven't been given any additional information...and have no way to help or appeal Spotify's decision. Sorry for any inconvenience this caused..."
I quickly opened Spotify and sure enough my single "Never Knew" was gone - No clear path for appeal nor an explanation as to what playlist was the culprit.
As an independent artist, I have to use third party playlist curators to promote releases on major streaming platforms. I've only used SubmitHub and Groover, which are supposed to be sanctioned by Spotify because I submit songs for consideration Not for guaranteed placement - spending money just to be heard. But that effort has gotten my music taken down without any information to avoid a possible infringement on these veiled guidelines in the future. I am fortunate that "Never Knew" was also featured on my EP, so it has not been completely removed from the platform, but what does this mean for my singles not apart of a dedicated album? Would they have been erased?
The whole experience would have left me feeling powerless and defeated if I didn't know about #v4vmusic π Thanks to the #nostr community and #v4v platforms like nostr:nprofile1qqszy58kj62v9fpe98nhuh0q76np4e0r0g0wd44rhth3wphdnyqjfzcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwvd6hyun9de6zuenedyq3yamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwccxctnfduyrnr5s independent artists, like me, finally have a space to be heard, to grow and have true autonomy over our art. π

π«£ what the ....?! I'm sorry to hear that π though I'm not very surprised seeing such stuff coming from Spotify. Overall, with them or others, entrusting the fruits of our labor to third parties, esp that huge/giant corporations, can often have similar consequences. Great that there's Nostr, and I believe that, as a protocol, it will also help creators in so many ways. Additionally, I'd recommend checking out Flash (https://paywithflash.com/). Many of its options make a great additional method for monetizing creative work, from paywalls or payment links to subscriptions.

(Fools, said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence)
Sometimes we think that these drops are lost in all the power of the rain, but no, even a few drops can move the whole universe.
Do not worry.
Just do your thing.
Be good. Be wise. Be active. Be happy.
Find the signal in the noise.
Don't let the silence take over your world.
Politicians are actors. No matter how good a given scene may seem, remember that there is always a director somewhere calling the shots...
