Precisely. What is the point of even making your available on Spotify? They will steal it, repurpose it, repackage it and then give you zero credit/money for it. I'm not sure of the correct term but it's like a type of Stockholm syndrome for artists that put their work there. They honestly believe that's the only way to be discovered. Stop giving your content to these cunts. Plain and simple, the sooner they get starved of content the sooner they have to start paying people for it. Come on guys it's not fucking rocket science. #v4v #valueverse #ai #fuckspotify #decentralise #newdawn #eclipse @Aaron of Essex

Yeah, actually that's true. I am also thinking of replacing my catalog with just a tiny compilation of songs outside of the Valueverse and putting a song in there that is about V4V and where to find my stuff. 😅 Btw. I released my current EP as a podcast feed only plus Bandcamp.

I enjoyed your podcast with @ChadF and 33 others Hoping to hear more from you. How about adding v4v music to the podcast? give a little bit of sunlight to some of these incredible musicians we have over here. 😀

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! YES! I want to play more V4V artists!! That is the goal. Balancing that with trying to spread the word to those who know nothing about it too!

This is the way. I know some folks that are building a bandcamp equivalent powered by lightning. fingers crossed, we will be ready for the masses sooner rather than later.
