Patreon is great, the only thing is that we shouldn't need a middleman that takes a cut. But insofar as teaching people a new behavior, it's wonderful. It will take a decentralized identity management solution to move past that. S

I created 10 distorted versions. But I'm also working on another follow-up track which will have over 200 auto-generated versions :D

Well, you as an artist using bots would be shooting yourself in the foot. If others do it for you (competition?), they're wasting money and also making you look better in comparison... I've been closely following both Mycelia and

P.S.: If enough artists put a "price" on social metrics within their works, it would generate market dynamics between the platforms. This would force them to behave in a way that is beneficial to the creators.

Great idea with the speech synthesis! Of course there are many more creative uses to explore. The tracking engine I made for this[0] is flexible, it can essentially track and use every measurable interaction across all connected networks an

My week is currently split 2-4 days on my own projects (4 if counting weekends) vs. 3 days work for clients/companies. Never been more satisfied and productive. There's a lot of creative cross-pollination: both pursuits bring more

Can you elaborate (more) what would be required to "fill the gap" to an 80% sufficient extent? Perhaps a list of links / topics / keywords that should be checked out and read about? Perhaps it's possible to get up t

Hey, does (or can) Distrokid offer an API? I've been dying to find a distributor that would let me programmatically submit/replace releases. It would only be used for my label, no bulk stuff, reasonable per-call fees or adjusting

Isn't this fully addressed by decentralized arbitrators and reputation systems, with a solid economic incentive setup? After all, we are just remaking human civilization on top of more efficient, modern platforms...the same old mechani

Not sure exactly as I don't remember where I've set it (and it's more fun for me if I don't look it up now!). It's more than a 1000 plays though for sure. I've made 10 distorted versions, and ranked them afterw

For easily digestible ideas about the future of popular/electronic music, I can recommend Adam Harper's book[0], blog[1] and his recently started podcast/show[2]. [0] https://www.amazon.com/Infinite-Music-Imag

'Sovereign Invidual'[0] makes a good case of how all the hacks and leaks across the board will eventually drive the adoption of encryption, which in turn will lead to the gradual transition of power away from nation states (mostly

I used to love Snapchat, it felt like the future of communication in many ways. Unfortunately it seems that their Android app became completely unusable on mid-tier devices in the past year. Painfully slow UX and unreliable in most situati

Could be worse in my view - if you're going to join a 'cult' to begin with, fitness might be the best alternative. Keep it in check, but it clearly fills a basic need we as humans seem to have.

I think we are about to enter a post-recording era relatively soon. Recordings are not native to the medium we use to interact with music anymore. It's no surprise that engagement levels are dropping together with the tolerated prices

https://mbasic.facebook.com has been amazing for me. I don't have Messenger nor Facebook on my phone, it's a faster and data plan friendly alternative. Not to mention no notifications.
