It means the fans have to also get behind this. So it could still be a long ways off, but hopefully not. If I post on, Instagram let’s say, that I’m leaving Spotify and other mainstream streaming, and tnat my new album is ONLY available on Wavlake, well then I better hope a decent % of ppl go and check it out, AND send me some $. Or I have to be okay with less ppl checking it out.. u fortunately Spotify is huge because it’s the EASIEST thing for consumers. Not artists.. it could be a long process, but even the fact that these conversations are happening is the right start and the fact that more & more ppl are realizing the ceo of Spotify is a fuck head- turn it opens ppl’s eyes to looking at alternatives.

Yes I hear you, fans need to follow the artists over here. That's where releasing exclusive content in the v4v scene might entice some fans to dip their toes in. Maybe you release one single here exclusively, or a bonus unreleased song from your last album's recording sessions. Something like that. And then post a link to Fountain or Wavlake if that's what you use to upload. If all the fans have to do is download an app quick to listen to a bonus song you released that would be a slightly easier user experience.
