This aligns well with the tweet Daniel Ek wrote on the 29th of May this year, about 'content' instead of music.
It makes me wonder though.. who do i want to be? Another talking head, pleasing the algorithm, or focused on my craft and do the things i enjoy the most?
As an independent musician, there's already a gazillion things to take care of. Investing time to feed some unwholsesome algorithm doesn't sound very apealling.
Thanks for the advice 👍, not going down that road.
I understand that it can be discouraging. Learning about these mechanisms is essential for maximising outcomes. The focus is on influencing human behaviour. Our goal is not to satisfy algorithms but to evoke a response from real people. Unfortunately, many individuals today prefer to passively consume entertainment content.
However, for artists, doing what you enjoy most and following your own path generally leads to the best results. It is the most beneficial choice you can make :)
I do concur that Social Media as we knew it is a thing of the past. These are exiting times, things are in motion, things are shifting. Looking forward to what's next :-)
