What we really need RN is a "Spaghetti code rating" system for companies, based on how much of a "grip" they have on understanding & advancing their products & how well they fix problems & support customers...
Something inside tells me Microsoft, Cloudflare, Twitter, & Meta would rank worst RN. ๐ค

For being "modern social tech", it never ceases to puzzle me why it's so geared towards firewalling & fleecing every single individual that tries to post new, original, & creative work.
Most popular things that trend are old news & unoriginal content.
Almost serves as a prison for creative ppl.
I think maybe instead of Christmas one year we need a National Day of "Free Confession"...
For example, If you really like doin crank, just say it to people...
It will really go a far way in helping others to understand why TF you fidget a lot, act hella strange, & say out of pocket things on TV.
Hey Chat GPT, please make me an android app that blocks every single ad on my phone.

Artists have to carefully design, curate, & manage their legacy & rep before & during their public career...
Pop life is unforgiving & never forgets, especially for blk artists...
That's why I don't do pop music I guess. Strictly underground vibes ๐ฏ
I welcome the disagreement, but in all my years in music work, talent without relying on technology is what should be the mark...
When we let tech & cheating take over, it drowns true talent out even when the end result of using tech is not as good. Try comparing Tpain to Prince (for example).
He shoulda kept it real on the first album drop then...
Typecasting can be unforgiving, but also serve as a vital character test in the music game. Usher was right, he destroyed R&B back then, possibly Hip-Hop too. It set the stage for the current Ai music heist... A tragedy. ๐ค
Name a band or singer that everyone seems to love but you can't stand. I'll go not first:
TPain & anyone else that ever uses autotune.
Pro Tip: Include all the money you paid Spotify for ads & the annual membership when you post your Spotify Wrapped each year, and then put your stream earnings for the year under it to show people you know how the music industry works โ

I think the main takeaway is that it gives the illusion that people can participate, but in truth only serves the whims of it's owners, just like TV channels do & buries everything else.
