Found a new place to buy organic and other less processed foods, Misfits Market. They also have fruits and veggies that won’t be sold in grocery stores because they’re blemished or off sized. But the prices seem to reflect that and if you’re looking for a larger assortment of organic stuff than the usual big box store, check them out.

Maybe Meta should get the TikTok treatment, given that Zuckberg conspired with the Russians in the Cambridge Analytics fiasco. Right wing traitors should be forced to divest, if American “security” is so important. Its well-known that Meta boosts right wing propaganda and suppresses news from other sources. They also allow hate speech from the right unimpeded.

Meta is a right leaning social platform, just like Twitttr and Fox faux “News” and Truth Social . In fact its hard to find a platform that’s not right wing. Oligarchs want it that way so that they can control the narrative. That’s why its important thet TikTok doesn’t get banned.

“Security” objections? Google, Microsoft, and Meta all perform all sorts of data mining on their users in order to sell that usage info to the highest bidder. Users have no choice in the matter. That’s why there’s so much identity theft.

Meta ad performance is going in the toilet. Now when you try to set up an ad campaign on Instagram, they don’t let you choose an audience, they choose your audience for you. I wanted to choose people in the US, Europe and South America that lusten to electronic music. It led me to believe that I could do that targeting, then at the end of the selection process, the ad status said that they would choose the audience from my followers only in the US. Despite trying to change these settings, the IG app refused to change the parameters. So basically I wasted $66 to get 84 clicks. Sorry Meta, screwing your advertisers is not a good idea.

And besides which, the traffice generated is less engaged than other sources. The direct traffic only comprised 8% of traffic, but the engagement rate was 42%. Meta traffic engagement was somewhat less than that.

Hostinger sucks as a website provider. I just wanted to add a post and waited over 90 seconds for the site to load. I’ve known for a while that their load times are poor, averaging over 5 seconds to load my blog, from the info I’ve gleaned from the Google Site Kit. But 90 seconds? Come on!

Here’s a link to my new album, Remixes Vol 4:

https://songwhip.com/jaypeach/remixes-vol-4

It was released about 2 weeks ago, and is getting some traction, especially on TikTok.

Spotify said it was going to clamp down on bots and botted streams, but it also going to clamp down on creators who created spam or other AI created content. I don’t know if they also decided to take long-term creators more seriously. I’ve been on Spotify as a creator for almost 4 years now and they’re finally boosting my content as never before.

Formerly, I got almost no streams from their playlists, all of my streams came from promoting my own stuff on various social media platforms. But lately I’ve been getting on algorithmic playlists and I’ve also gotten a decent amount from Radio and other autoplay features. It’s nice that Spotify is finally changing it’s ways, but the payout keeps dropping. Now it’s a mere $.0027 per stream, down from $.0043 when I first started. Which makes promoting my work on Spotify less desirable. The least generous platforms pay 25% more than Spotify, with the most generous 2000% more. Why wouldn’t I direct possible listeners to platforms that are willing to put more money in my pocket?

So, in addition to the work I’m planning, is there an interest in some funky tunes? The funk music I’ve done in the past seems to get a good reception, especially in Europe.

Well, Remixes Vol 4 has been out a few days and it’s gotten added to some TikTok playslists so it’s getting so decent airplay, so it’s time to start making some new music. I’m going to try to make more techno and trance tunes using some of the resources I’ve acquired from Reimann Kollection. And I’ll also be making more all original stuff. Electronica and ambient music, to be specific.

Haven’t decided whether I’ll drop them as singles or put them out as another album or EP. Albums seem to be what some platforms prefer. Anyways, stay tuned as I might drop demo stuff on SoundCloud before I release the finished works.

Trying to get some action through Facebook ads again. In the past, it’s underperformed my expectations. The aim is to get more views and maybe some referrals to my InstaGram page at https://instagram.com/jaypeach00 or my linktree at https://linktr.ee/jaypeach53 where you can find links to my music.

Now that, I’ve released my latest EP, Remixes Vol 4, I have some spare time to attend to other business. When I’m creating new music, I spend 2-5 hours a day several days a week trying to work things out. Which means I can only spend a little time on my internet duties. And making music is a lot more imprtotant to me.
