  • But they aren’t just preferring cheaper sources, they’re funding production houses that crank out music cheaper than it would cost to pay a single artist, and then putting that “mass” produced music on playlists that they themselves promote, allll to avoid promoting actual artists and paying them potentially more than they’re paying the production house.

    It’s in terribly bad faith because I myself am an artist that distributes through Spotify, not only because I can reach the widest audience, but I’m hoping on some level Spotify is promoting my new music to people outside of my own purview. But they aren’t. They’re flooding the market with cheap music and only promoting it.










  • If you check my SoundCloud all of the track art I’ve used I made myself using Canva. Even I think it’s starting to look same-y, but it’s more interesting than having no art and cheaper than paying an artist. I say the cheap part because I’m still making essentially no money from music, so Canva lets me put out something interesting with no previous graphical design knowledge or history.

    So, to me, it’s a blessing and a curse. I can whip up some quick art (in an hour, sometimes two), and save money as well. The curse is people look down on Canva and I feel like there’s an upper limit I haven’t reached with the web based editing.








  • I’m in the same boat, in the early days of Android (Galaxy S 1 days) I used to go to their site just as frequently as Tom’s Hardware, TechPowerUp, etc. because they were on top of most new customizable ROMs if I remember right.

    I haven’t had a reason to go back since it has become increasingly more difficult to get a custom ROM on any Galaxy phone, and I almost completely forgot about the site until this announcement.
