Some get it early.
Some of us only need to learn the same lesson 17 more times before we get it.
Build your own brand. Own all your recordings and publishing. Use the V4V model. Used to be called DIY in the punk days. Now it’s DIY2.0.
Bandcamp exists for almost 20 years now. Most of the singles and records there you can buy in a v4v model. They have a great weekly radio show for discovering new music. The problem is not in the artists or their lack of better distribution platform the problem is in the consumers. Why does anyone have a Spotify account? I never used it.
I think the article is pointing out a change in behaviour is coming
The youth is growing up! User adoption and development is benefiting the creator and giving them a chance at an equal playing field. BTC, NOSTR, Lightning, RSS and other decentralized support is on the rise to support for a better transparent future.
I hope that is true. My concern is that v4v distribution model and only a low fee platform (bandcamp takes 10%) exist for long enough without affecting the dominance of Spotify or YouTube. Even on nostr I never saw someone sharing a bandcamp link. I also do not have a new yorker account, so I cannot get from the article what is different now.
indeed
it sucks... I've never liked spotify
I tried shaming (reasoning) people off the spotiy countless times, and succeeded zero, because “don’t make me think”
Bandcamp+soundloud myself since years
Nostr should block links with paywalls
Yawn.
The days of writing a hit single, then sitting on your ass raking in $$$ on album sales is over.
Go tour. Do livestreams. Do something different.
Right, having a fairer platform and a v4v model, even better quality music, is obviously not sufficient for people to switch.
So.. a 'censorship resistant' protocol should censor. Bravo!
Strongly suggest you click the link I provided: Value4Value.info
Thousand of music makers are doing something different. That's the point.
Touring and selling merch is not any different from 20 years ago.
How’s this for different?

do you need some big centralized entity to do everything for you?
This exists! note1ep4tlp6lvm332kl2etnutdmdcef3e4jfw7d5hhzvw5p4ehtq0peqg7jnn5
You having an oxymoronic day sir ?
Blocking tracking and paywalls would be value prop to choose one nostr client over another
Paywall deez nutz 🌰🌰
youd be happier on facebook.
Yes, thanks!
What I meant tho is literally a service that recognizes that the posted link contains a fiat paywall and notifies me before I click
oh, I see!
WTC7 won’t go away!
I typically don't post paywalled links, and this one wasn't paywalled for me. No idea why.
No probs, it has facilitated a great chance to be rude to each other:D
Anyways I hope users will abandon the Spotify sooner than later and will get on the v2v ship !
This is the line that sums up what Spotify is doing to art….
“…one of my frustrations has always been the meagre amount of information displayed on each artist’s page, and Pelly’s criticisms made me think this might be by design—a way of rendering the labor of music-making invisible. Except for a brief biographical sketch, sounds float largely free of context or lineage.… I’ve never heard so much music online as I have over the past few years yet felt so disconnected from its sources.”
