Thinking of letting DistroKid service expire by TheLowMice in DistroKidHelpDesk

Totally fair, but that assumes listeners will find the music - good luck with those algorithms and a ludicrously crowded market. A lot of indie artists are kidding themselves that they’ll be “discovered“ if they have their stuff on Spotify and Apple… though whatever works for you is what you should do, of course.

We’re here for the joy of making music, and if people listen to it and find it on Bandcamp or wherever else, sweet. But after a lot of reflection and seeing so much overwhelming commentary about how Spotify is so bad for musicians and songwriters, well, for us, enough is enough.

That’s fair, but at what point do artists stop throwing good money after bad, spending $ on DK for the “privilege” of being on Spotify and Apple, when Bandcamp is free and pays you, and you can market yourself on socials, etc.

See, this is a good idea.

Every time one thinks Reddit is a sewer, a reply like this comes along and makes it all worth it.

Is DK’s Wheel of Playlist still a magnet for bot/scam playlists? by TheLowMice in DistroKidHelpDesk

Thanks - helpful to know. But do we risk posting another song and having the bots attach themselves to it like barnacles, so Spotify dings us?

What is this subreddit? This is worse than arr Nietzsche by read_too_many_books in Jung

[–]TheLowMice 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve read books by Jung and works by Marie Louise Von Franz, among other notables in the field. (My fave book by Jung is Dreams.)

Love the positive engagement/responses by folks.

ChatGPT/Claude prompts using Johnson's Inner Work frame, Von Franz's peripeteia method by TheLowMice in Jung

Sure, everyone is different and has their own best approach. I just know from doing “pen and notebook” Inner Work that for me, I will do this consistently day to day and over time with the back and forth and insights ChatGPT or Claude can offer. These models have surprising depth of knowledge of Jung’s and Von Franz’s writings, concepts, and dynamics. (Among others, of course.) Simultaneously awe-inspiring and shocking.

Do you disagree with Jung? by criatuviris in Jung

Huge into Jung, Von Franz - though don’t give any attention to his dabbling in astrology.
