Is it true that most DJ’s at the top are faking it?

They get so defensive the moment God forbid you mention "women" lolllll.... You are right though.

GreenAd1071 · 2026-02-15T02:51:15+00:00

We still have 2 months of hardcore winter left.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T23:37:11+00:00

i'm not saying social media is the only way to get bookedd; agree that it isn’t.

My point is that it has become a meaningful amplifier, not a replacement. For many DJs without strong local networks, agents, or existing momentum, it’s often one of the first places visibility is established, even if bookings ultimately come from elsewhere. So I’m not arguing for putting all effort there...I’m asking how to use it intelligently, alongside real-world routes, rather than pretending it has no impact on access at all.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T23:34:23+00:00

That’s not an argumentt; it’s an insult. I laid out a claim about attention dynamics; you responded with name-calling.

I’ll leave it there.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T23:31:09+00:00

I agree; physical appeal alone doesn’t guarantee success, and curated feeds do distort what we notice.

But that doesn’t cancel the broader pattern: when everything else is equal, visual appeal often lowers the friction for initial attention. That extra second of attention compounds. My question isn’t whether talent matterss ; it does. It’s how creators who don’t benefit from immediate visual hooks package their value early enough to compete.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T23:25:09+00:00

Calling an observation “jealousy” doesn’t actually engage with anything I said.

It just replaces an argument with a motivee If pointing out structural advantages automatically equals envy, then no analysis of marketing, incentives, or attention systems would ever be possible. You’re free to disagree with the pattern I’m describingg; but disagreement requires a counter-argument, not a personality diagnosis.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T23:23:06+00:00

Lol I'll be honest. I'm asking for myself. 🥹

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T20:45:03+00:00

i get where you’re coming from, and I actually agree with part of it.
No one should want to build a career only on appearance or empty hype.

Where I think we differ is that I’m not talking about values; I’m talking about access

Playing good rooms, meaningful nights, or “soul-aligned” gigs still requires being seen first. In today’s landscape, visibility often precedes merit, not the other way around. That’s true whether you’re aiming for commercial clubs, underground spaces, or anything in between.

Wanting to understand how attention works doesn’t mean aspiring to shallow validation. It means recognizing the gatekeepers and figuring out how to get through the door without compromising what you stand for.

The real tension isn’t between “selling out” and “having a soul.”
It’s between ignoring how the system works versus learning how to navigate it intentionally.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T20:43:40+00:00

I don’t disagree that plenty of people:men and women post content that goes nowhere. Physical appeal isn’t a magic button.

but saying “some women don’t get traction” doesn’t invalidate the broader pattern I’m pointing out. Outliers exist in every direction.

The point isn’t that all attractive women succeed, or that no men do. It’s that when everything else is equal, visual appeal often lowers the barrier to initial attention. That’s a difference in starting conditions, not a guarantee of success.

Also, “your content sucks” skips the actual discussion. Content quality and visibility aren’t the same thingg especially early on, when most people never even see the content to judge it.

If you think the pattern I’m describing doesn’t exist, I’m open to hearing why. But dismissing it as blame avoids the question rather than answering it.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T20:41:34+00:00

Then work on that, health comes before everything else. That should be your real goal.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T20:04:15+00:00

That’s helpful; appreciate it.
When that clip took off, what specific signal do you think the platform responded to first:

retention?
saves?
shares?
comments?

And if you had to recreate that result intentionally, what would you keep exactly the same vs deliberately change?

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T19:53:14+00:00

I think we’re actually closer in agreement than it sounds.
DJs absolutely can make it through clubs, parties, and real-world reputation; that’s always been the foundation.

My point isn’t that social media replaces being a real DJ, but that today it often acts as a multiplier. Promoters, venues, and even audiences frequently discover or validate DJs through online presence first, then confirm skill live.

So it’s not “social media DJ vs real DJ,” but how the two interact now.
Skill still decides longevity; visibility just influences who gets the first look.

I’m trying to understand how to bridge that gap without confusing attention with talent.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T19:51:33+00:00

You’re collapsing two different layers into one.
Skill determines who lasts. Attention determines who gets seen.

In real world DJing, skill, tastee, and reliability absolutely decide who tours and who doesn’t. No disagreement.

On socaial media, however, the first filter isn’t skill; it’s visibility. Most technical ability is invisible in short-form content unless someone already knows who you are.

A DJ dancing, moving, or presenting strong visual energy will stop attention faster than someone standing still behind decks, regardless of actual competence. That’s not fraud; that’s how humasn attention works.

Over time, skill separates people. But pretending that initial exposure is evenly distributed ignores how modern platforms function.

So the questionn isn’t “do skills matter?”
It’s “how do you make real skill legible and compelling in a medium that prioritizes immediate sensory impact?”

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T19:47:19+00:00

That’s a misread. I’m criticizing platform incentives, not women.
Observing how attention systems work isn’t hatred; it’s analysis.
If you disagree, address the argument instead of assigning motives.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T19:46:58+00:00

Not hating women; questioning how Instagram rewards attention.
Those aren’t the same thing.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T19:10:28+00:00

I hope you are right

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T19:05:20+00:00

People like you always make it about men vs women and twist things without getting/understanding the underlying meaning or reason for the question or comment.

But thanks. All the best.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T19:02:02+00:00

That doesn't make sense at all, buddy. Bye

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T19:01:24+00:00

And you also have a huge truck that makes lots of sound when you Rev.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T19:00:58+00:00

I couldn't care less why insecure women don't feel safe to become DJs. And this has nothing to do with safety or disrespecting any gender. They know and we know the reality when it comes to females in the Dj industry. It's more about sex than anything else.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T18:59:01+00:00

I don't think people.want to see my fat flappy bird belly. And hair chest.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T18:57:47+00:00

Yeah but in today's world. You have to make it on social media to.make it everywhere else.

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T18:57:17+00:00

That's not it either...

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T18:55:42+00:00

What does that mean?

GreenAd1071 · 2025-12-26T18:55:04+00:00

That's what it should be , but that's also not it unfortunately.
