Milestone on TikTok
More News from Amazon Music
I’m psyched! I just checked the data from Amazon Music’s artist app and got some terrific news. I’ve spoken here and on social media about the need of artists with smaller followings to wean themselves off of Spotify. Spotify makes money off our streams, but has recently said that they won’t pay artists until they get 1000 streams per track. What they didn’t say that once you get to the 1000 stream threashhold, whether you get backpay, or whether they confiscate the $.0032 perstream they owe you.
Anyway, now for, to me, the exciting news. Here’s the screenshot from Amazon on some stats. They show I’m doing better than most artists in my listener category in the “Daily Voice Index”. I know the numbers aren’t so high, but I’ve only been promoting Amazon Music and Apple Music to my fans for a few months. So progress is progress. I currently make more money from both of them than I do under Spotify’s old rules. And since Spotify will essentially shaft smaller artists, I feel that abandoning Spotify is in my best interest.

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.

Amazon Fails to Deliver Once Again, Time to Revolt
Amazon, the e-commerce giant, has once again managed to disappoint its customers with its lackluster delivery service. A product that was promised to be delivered in just one day has now turned into a never-ending waiting game, with an estimated delivery time of at least four days. It seems like Amazon’s definition of “one day” is as flexible as a yoga instructor.
And if the delayed delivery wasn’t frustrating enough, the process of requesting a refund is equally infuriating. Even if the package fails to arrive within the extended timeframe, customers are forced to wait a couple more days before they can even request a refund. It’s like Amazon is playing a twisted game of “how long can we keep your money.”
But let’s not forget about the man behind the curtain, Jeff Bezos. While his company continues to disappoint, Bezos is still raking in the big bucks. It’s as if he’s sitting on a throne made of our unfulfilled orders, laughing all the way to the bank.
Enough is enough! It’s time to take a stand against these megacorporations and their blatant disregard for customer satisfaction. We need to band together and fight back, not just with angry tweets and scathing reviews, but with real action.
One way to hold Amazon accountable is through class action lawsuits. By joining forces with other disgruntled customers, we can make our voices heard in a court of law. Let’s show Amazon that we won’t stand for their broken promises and shoddy service.
Additionally, we must demand an end to SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) regulations. These regulations are often used by large corporations to silence critics and prevent them from speaking out. We need to ensure that our right to voice our grievances is protected and that we can freely express our dissatisfaction without fear of legal repercussions.
So, my fellow frustrated shoppers, let’s rise up and revolt against Amazon’s failings. It’s time to reclaim our power as consumers and demand the respect and service we deserve. Together, we can make a difference and bring about change in the world of e-commerce.

Meta Muzzling and the Suppression of Dissent on Instagram
Have you ever felt like your voice is being silenced on social media platforms? Many users have reported experiencing a phenomenon known as “shadowbanning” on Instagram, where their posts and comments are hidden from the wider audience. This practice has raised concerns about the suppression of dissent and the limitations on free speech.
One user recently shared their frustration, claiming that their comments were being unfairly targeted due to their perceived political leanings. They believe that their posts, which they consider to be moderate, are being flagged by Instagram’s algorithms, resulting in a significant drop in visibility. While it is important to note that these claims are anecdotal, they highlight a broader issue surrounding the transparency and fairness of content moderation on social media platforms.
It is not uncommon for social media platforms to employ algorithms to detect and remove content that violates their community guidelines. However, the challenge lies in ensuring that these algorithms are unbiased and do not disproportionately target certain individuals or viewpoints. Instances of perceived bias, such as the one mentioned above, raise questions about the extent to which platforms like Instagram are truly neutral spaces for expression.
So, what can users do if they feel their voices are being muzzled on platforms like Instagram? One strategy is to diversify their social media presence. The user mentioned that they have found success on TikTok, where their content receives thousands of views. By shifting their focus to alternative platforms, they can continue to share their thoughts and engage with a different audience.
Ultimately, the issue of meta muzzling and the suppression of dissent on social media platforms is a complex one. It requires a nuanced understanding of content moderation practices and a commitment to ensuring that these practices are fair, transparent, and unbiased. As users, we should continue to raise awareness about these issues and advocate for platforms to prioritize freedom of expression while maintaining a safe and inclusive online environment.
Playing Around with Experimental Electronic Music
Over the past few days, I’ve been having a blast playing around with my collection of electronic music gear. From my trusty Roland SP-404 mk II and Roland S-1 to the Moog Mavis and Moog Mother-32, I’ve been exploring the world of experimental electronic sounds.
My recording setup has been a mix of old and new. I’ve been using my Zoom H8 and a modded turquoise tape cassette recorder to capture the raw sounds. There’s something magical about the warm, analog feel of tape recordings.
Once I have the recordings, I plan to transfer them to my SP-404 and my Elektron Oktatrack for further processing. These machines give me endless possibilities to manipulate and shape the sounds I’ve captured. It’s like being a mad scientist in a sonic laboratory.
Who knows, maybe these experiments will lead to something special. I might even end up releasing some of these recordings for others to enjoy. So, if you’re a fan of electronic music and love the thrill of the unexpected, stay tuned for updates.
Remember, electronic music is all about pushing boundaries, exploring new sonic territories, and embracing the unexpected. So, join me on this journey as I dive deeper into the world of experimental electronic music. Who knows what we’ll discover along the way?
