1 of my songs is a part of this playlist. I never heard of them before. I saw a huge spike in 1 of my old songs, and I gained more followers and monthly listeners out of no where.
i think the best thing for artist is to keep creating and showcasing their journey , showing human error and growth while AI can't do this , showing any live footage of creation almost like daily vlogs
It just makes the subject of which distributor to use and stick with an even more difficult decision. We may not all be in a position to lay down $500 a year for Venice, even if we are taking our music seriously. So, we are stuck with cheaper options, such as DistroKid or Tunecore. Music distributors really do suck; it's like they have nothing but disdain for their clients. It feels like the industry is about to implode for independents and that, eventually, the big labels will have their way and the rest of us will be de-platformed. Maybe I'm being over-dramatic, I dunno.
Maybe the problem is artists are putting the wagon before the horse and doing music distribution before they need to. No artist needs a music distributor to put music on RUclips, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, SoundCloud, or even sell it on Bandcamp or Gumroad. Music distribution is entirely unnecessary for the purpose of accessibility and exposure. The only reason is monetization, but if you don't have demand, you end up paying more in distribution fees than you earn anyway. If it isn't worth it at $500 a year, it likely isn't worth it at $20 a year because it means nothing is happening that's moving the needle. Artists need community and that's a core focus of Venice. Artists need to stop putting out music and hoping for the best and start having a plan.
@@Payusnomind I know a guy who has spent over £2000 on promo and it’s all been worth just £200 in streaming revenue. It’s good music too. I’ll point him towards Venice.

Wild stuff man! Sounds like gatekeeping and saturation control to me! But what do i know! 🤷🏽♂️

They are gatekeepers. They all are terrible so no one has to get better. It’s such a shame.
