i decided to quit sharing my music.
it just doesn't bring me any joy and it's just extra work.
back in the early 2000s people would actually download my tunes to keep a permanent copy.
that felt nice.
these days people just seem to want to stream and then forget the artist(s).
i'd rather count downloads than plays. i got a few plays but no downloads and that hurts.
so i just quit uploading and deleted my soundcloud page.
the main person who i'm trying to impress is myself anyhow.
even people i play my music to in person don't really understand it and aren't really into those genres.
they're just being polite: "oh, you have a soundcloud? let me hear it!"
that doesn't mean that they can relate to your stuff at all.
