More on Spotify, Part 3

Well, I seem to have settled into getting a monthly listener base of a whole 30-40 listeners since I got more exposure on algorithmic playlists. More listeners identify as female, which is a bump up from before the listener increase. Still a far cry of the listener base of about 250 that I used to have 2021-2023.

Spotify is really a shitty platform. Discovery is almost impossible unless you pay Spotify hundreds of dollars for their promotion. If you use third party promotion services, you risk having your streams classified as fake, getting you banished.

Spotify has a bad actor problem which they don’t seem to want to fix. Their userbase increase several hundred percent over about a two year period. It’s obvious to me that most of these accounts are bots. Major labels use those bots to jazz their streaming numbers and Spotify turns a blind eye to this abuse.

Which is why I direct my fans to platforms not as obnoxious as Spotify, like Amazon Music, Apple Music, Beatport, and YouTube.

The Power of Music on Social Media

Have you ever felt like your social media posts are falling on deaf ears? Well, I’ve got some news for you – the world of social media is a fickle one. One day you’re getting hundreds of likes and comments, and the next day you’re left wondering if anyone even saw your post. But fear not, my friend, because there’s a new player in town that’s changing the game – TikTok.

TikTok is the latest social media platform that has taken the world by storm. It’s a place where users can create and share short videos set to music, and it’s quickly becoming the go-to platform for viral content. With its algorithm that prioritizes discoverability and its user-friendly interface, TikTok has become a breeding ground for creativity and entertainment.

So why is TikTok so successful when it comes to music? Well, for starters, it’s all about the power of sound. Music has a way of connecting people, evoking emotions, and creating a sense of unity. And TikTok has harnessed that power by allowing users to easily add music to their videos, creating a whole new level of engagement.

Unlike Instagram, where users often scroll mindlessly through a feed, TikTok encourages active participation. Users can like, comment, and share videos, and even participate in challenges and trends. This level of engagement is what sets TikTok apart from other social media platforms.

So, if you’re tired of feeling like your posts are going unnoticed, it might be time to give TikTok a try. Who knows, you might just find yourself going viral and gaining thousands of views in no time. And hey, if you want to check out my TikTok, here’s the link: https://www.tiktok.com/@jaypeach53.
