"Bitcoin is where my frustrations began."
This entire article is excellent. Technology can often become an ouroboros -- self eating snake. I've heard now multiple people complain about AI slop on wavlake. It's even a bigger problem on spotify too.
Everyone wants to solve music discovery with some new platform or protocol. What we need is word of mouth by humans.
This is worth a read for anyone interested or involved in #V4V. Kevin's show Sats and Sounds was one of the longest and best #V4V music shows out there. I started listening at episode 33 (no joke, the number grabbed me and iykyk) and it was what I listened to during my drive home from work on Mondays because that's when the show was posted and it would finish right when I got home.
I heard a lot of great new tracks on this show because Kevin listened to stuff and shared what he liked. If you are reading this and are an artist in the #ValueVerse I'd bet you were played on Kevin's show.
