I immediately clicked on this article because my boss is starting a podcast in the new year đ¤Ł. It makes no sense to me given the nature of the work we do, what I see behind the scenes (in regards to basic competency) versus what is being advertised as the theme of this podcast.
I can see how theyâd think itâd get them more clients⌠but iâŚ

I can see how theyâd think itâd get them more clients⌠but in such a deceptive way? itâs not something I can get behind.
Iâm on my way out and determined to make a living off my music writing and art instead of spending most my waking hours building someone elseâs dream. TBH I think these ppl are just desperate to be the loudest âthought leaderâ voice and will do it by any means necessary. The very notion of a âthought leaderâ is insulting to humanity & Mach 10 grandiosity.
On the flipside, I too am very happy about the collective consensus of sheer exhaustion of the algorithm model for consumption of music and other art forms, especially as an artist.
I am all about a return to the analog world for reasons beyond art, I think dependence on tech / social media is destroying our ability to form & maintain relationships. We need to get back to Actual face time in real life before the connection crisis gets any worse. đ
Good for you! I gave a rather long reply to the DJ comment above, so I don't want to repeat myself here. The gist of it was that whether digital or analogue, they're tools (instruments) and it's what you do with them that matters. I do get your point. Digital technology has put the means into the hands of many and enabled people with little or no talent to produce facsimiles of âartâ. However, ultimately it's the content that's important rather than the means by which it's produced. In that sense I don't think that analogue is inherently superior to digital or vice versa (although I would say that most of the musicians I know do favour analogue. Personally, I think that's down to a kind of conservatism and in some cases a snobbish attitude to anything ânew-fangledâ. I hasten to add that by no means am I accusing you of that, but, at the risk of repeating myself, how else do you explain those who, e.g., love Hammond organs but hate synthesisers?). There's always a novelty factor with new technology, but as with all fads, it'll wear off sooner or later. More than anything else it's the need to express themselves through art that distinguishes artists: after all, the arts aren't the easiest of careers and it's that need that makes us persevere through the hardships. Anyway, I wish you the very best of luck in all your artistic endeavours.
Thank you very much! And when I referenced âanalogâ vs digital, I was using analog to refer to âreal lifeâ as opposed to us always being on social media / apps etc. - I use technology in the creation of music all the time, shoot we wouldnât have recordings of music at all without it! I think what really gets draining on so many of us is the trap of having to crank out and play the âcontent creationâ game in social media algoritms in order to get your music seen / heard by anyone because thatâs how the majority of ppl find anything these days. In my experience it has been a huge energy-suck and detriment to the creative process and just feels really.. toxic? I think social media in general feels that way but it adds a strange element that none of us really signed up for haha so itâs hard to find balance with it! Cheers to you and I hope youâre having a beautiful holiday season!
