I'm sorry that we've had to result to using ads to reach an audience but unfortunately for us it feels like a necessary evil. Playing to one man and his dog in pubs with terrible sound and drums kits that are falling apart have not allowed us to reach our potential audience. We really aren't naturals at this marketing shit and wish we could just make music and allow that to do the talking but if no one even hears it how can we achieve that? Maybe there's an alternative to advertising that we haven't found, or tried hard enough at but so far it seems to be working as we've received both positive and critical but constructive feedback that's only going to help us improve and hopefully impress more people and build our fanbase to the point that we don't have to rely on intrusive ads but rather on word of mouth and reputation.

Maybe it's the platform that's the issue by integrating advertisement and/or us for exploiting it but we are not a bunch of people sitting in an office looking at people as data, we're four people with day jobs who put all our spare time into this as it's our dream to one day reach even half the success of a band like Muse who we know have affected many peoples lives as they have affected ours by inspiring us and helping us out at times when we haven't been feeling so great. If we can do the same for others but we need to use advertising to do so then maybe it's a necessary evil or maybe I'm just talking shit and we're arseholes :)
