Sometimes one has to do more work in order to achieve their goals. In a perfect world everything would be easy, sadly I don't live in such a world. ☹️

Making things a little bit harder (and lets be honest it isn't rocket science) is a feature not a bug. A tiny moat is enough to keep out significant amount of slop.

I understand what you are saying and appreciate the passion you have brought to this space. Obviously its hard work being a musician, perfecting your craft, and recording songs to put online. But that is the bare minimum. Once you do all that, even if you are on Spotify or YouTube you have to post often, pitch to playlisters, try and hit the algorithm etc. That's all work that has to be put in outside the actual music. I think the same is true here. You have to be recognized by nostriches, V4VJs etc and build some real connections. It would be great if things were streamlined and artists could be put on every music podcast as soon as they upload and be getting thousands of SATs right away but its not the case. Not right now anyway.

I use either lnbeats or
