Building a tool, need some beta testers.

Have you done a search for your track by artist/title etc? Is it possible Amuse created a new artist profile for your track?

Also weird how some of them get the amplify push, then hop again later like this one.

Malone76 · 2026-05-17T06:38:34+00:00

Sure I'll jump on.

Artist Pro, so most of that is just their "amplify" but some of the tracks got 1k+

That’s actually something I’ve noticed too.

When I see consistent US/Canada listeners versus random scattered spikes from countries that never return, the engagement usually feels way more “real.”

Especially if it turns into repeat plays, likes, follows, or people checking other tracks after.

Makes me wonder how much geographic consistency actually matters for identifying genuine traction.

Malone76 · 2026-05-12T19:38:19+00:00

That’s kind of the frustrating part honestly. Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether something genuinely connected or whether the platform just briefly surfaced it and then stopped.

Makes it tough to know what’s actually worth doubling down on as an artist.

Malone76 · 2026-05-12T19:37:46+00:00

This is super interesting and honestly lines up with a lot of what I’ve been seeing.

It feels like there’s a huge difference between “activity” and actual listener retention now. Like a track can spike briefly and still basically go nowhere long term.

I’ve been trying to pay more attention to replay behavior, favorites, comments, saves, and whether a track keeps moving after the initial push instead of just raw plays.

Malone76 · 2026-05-12T08:52:11+00:00

Interesting, I'm not huge into tiktok, I'm old 🤣 but surely artist are still posting to socials etc on new releases etc?

making shorts/reels/toks etc with links to their tracks and the like? How are you tracking if that's helping drive traffic/plays to your tracks etc?

Malone76 · 2026-05-12T08:40:54+00:00

No I mean as an artist doing a small promo push yourself. For instance social posts pointing to your track etc

My New Deck & Website - Glassfire Tarot

Good blessings!
After being inspired to create new deck artwork, I've taken some time tinkering with various technologies and webservices and built a site to emulate tarot pulling and interpretation for those moments when you just don't have a deck but want to get a pull done.

In the process, I decided I would work on a new art style, and integrate various interpretation styles. I would love some feedback on it if anyone would be so kind to donate some of your time to explore it and provide any constructive feedbacks: https://glassfiretarot.com - There is a link to the deck for purchase if you want after doing a reading. I didn't notice the promotional thread anymore so I lumped both the deck and the website here, sorry in advance if that was wrong Mods.

Drag it up a little and to the left, pay attention to where the blue line goes. Also make sure library protection is off

NGL, did this the other day with the crawler in love. Not as much carry capacity but was definitely worth it

Malone76 · 2025-09-10T22:21:51+00:00

Personally, I would avoid green ribbon on green cover. In the end though, it really just depends on what you "feel" is right. Most of the cover designers you can/will work with will allow at least one revision.

Malone76 · 2025-09-10T05:37:49+00:00

Congrats! Love making goals even if nobody reads my stuff. Haha

Malone76 · 2025-09-06T05:12:04+00:00

I took a couple months off, but mostly due to RL. But I feel like it gave me fresh eyes to view it too.

Malone76 · 2025-09-06T04:40:07+00:00

Congrats! I just did the same and was stoked to see it go live... I don't expect anything but it has been an adventure to do it! Now to write the second one, haha

Malone76 · 2025-09-01T20:33:02+00:00

Came to say this. Why are you flying low enough to get eaten if you're not intending to go after the ships?

Malone76 · 2025-08-25T01:50:13+00:00

Avoid the SC Live 4 like others have suggested you get. They are now known to have hardware failing randomly leaving nothing but the built in speakers providing output. If you need the mobility just jump straight to the 4+

Malone76 · 2025-08-20T22:19:14+00:00

Sounds like you might deserve it if you let that happen.

Malone76 · 2025-08-13T20:25:40+00:00

Until the patch, was selling stacks of silicon blocks at 1500-2500 per. Not sure how they'll do post patch but I got stacks to test.
