Ah, they want it to be like Youtube. Good thing I found out how to remove their ads without paying

Man I’ve got a friend who has men making music for well over 2 decades & I can’t get him to try it out. He was doing livestreams of live synth shows. Idk why I can’t get him to at least try out nostr considering he’s been banned by both x & yt multiple times.

Musicians should fight and oppose instead of homologating to no avail. With them, a good portion of their fans would also move and these platforms could finally begin to weaken.... Value 4 value is the only way! View quoted note →

I just don't quite know how to feel about the royalty-free movement. I know the music industry has traditionally fucked over artists, but the function of earning royalties is not a bad function, especially for songwriters, the ones who have probably been fucked the hardest. Are songwriters not supposed to be able to make any kind of generative living from the songs they write? Many songwriters aren't performers after all. They don't have merch or ticket sales to earn with.

Artists are earning more on v4v today than through traditional royalty streams. Adoption will only make this better. Fans spend money on music and ultimately want to support, but most of the revenue is gone by the time it gets to the creator. It's true, they may not make a living from passive listeners on an open model, but existing super fans, along with new fans through organic discovery, will show up and change the game. They just need a familiar place to go, and that's what we're working on ✌️⚡️🎵
