I write a few different styles, been writing big beat for a couple of years now and trying to do it as independently as possible. But still needs promoting online, hence social media ugh.
Yeah for some reason I find it easier to avoid infinite scroll with FB than reddit! I know, that’s like mentioning Voldemoort round here.
Not sure if any Lemmy-ers still use reddit, they fucked it again (removed /all). It’s rapidly turning into a copy of meta, feeds are now curated by algo rather than votes :(
Nobody said that doing the right thing would be easy. It rarely is. But I’d rather die doing the right thing, than live being part of the wrong thing. 🏳️🌈✊
Thanks for the links, will check them all out. But from a brief squizz at the bbc link… can I just point out that these are all VERY established artists, with established fanbases. None of these will be interacting with people online anyway, already using a social media manager to do all their posts etc.
There’s no point making music that nobody knows exist, and unfortunately streaming / social media are the main avenues for reaching new fans these days.
Some of us have no choice. If I don’t have social media, record labels won’t sign my music. I cannot afford to pay someone else to maintain it for me.

Yeah ok but you’re not scrolling your wall for hours a day, right?
