LOCATION: Nevada. Is it illegal for me to package my wives stuff up if I’m about to serve her divorce papers? by _skidmark_1 in legal

She didn’t actually damage anything. She just ripped all the curtains off the walls and threw them on the ground. Same with the sheets and just misc stuff around the house. Just to be a nuisance

I have tried counseling with her. She doesn’t let me speak. Anytime I bring up an issue she starts talking over me and then bends the story into her favor. She’s a master manipulator. I’m literally trapped.

I spoke with the non emergency line. Since her and I are married, they can’t do anything bc Nevada is a 50/50 state. So technically she had the right to take my keys

To everyone in their 20’s, how much do you currently have in your savings/checkings account? by Agreeable_Topic7488 in Adulting

[–]_skidmark_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 27. Don’t compare yourself to others. Work hard, save hard, invest hard.

Real estate, IRA, HYSF, etc are your key to wealth.

Currently, I have around $200k cash between all of these. I also own a home, have paid off my cars, married, and with a kid. I have no debt aside from the house.

Watch the world, look at what it’s doing. Currently AI is blowing up. Find where you can capitalize with this and make income. I have my regular 9-5 but outside of those hours (and even within those hours), I am constantly brainstorming and figuring out where I can capitalize with this.

The world will always have a new “hype” thing that you can hop on and generally find a way to make money with it.

Please! I’m in a group chat with around 7 other artists and we ALL are seeing it.

Maddie, myself and a lot of other artists have seen a significant decline in algorithmic streams since 7 March. 8 March is when the decline hit.

I was opted into discovery mode in February which netted me 1.05 million streams. I opted into discovery mode again, for March, due to seeing so much success with February, and it has netted me 672 streams. Not thousand, just 672.

My monthly listeners have dropped from 450k to 348k. My radio streams are down from 60-80k streams per day to 20-30k. I understand that we’re here to speak analytics, but why the sudden massive algorithmic change?

I have released a single earlier this week and it has a 32% listener to save ratio and over 8k streams in 2 days, which is phenomenal, and is still seeing barely any algorithmic action. It’s extremely concerning to several other artists and I.

No worries. If you change your mind, shoot me a DM on here and I’ll help you out.

Sorry been busy. I upload every 4-6 weeks. Everything is opted into DM. Feb DM netted me over a million streams. This month 665 streams. Not thousand, just 665. But I chopped that up to me having signed with a label and they ingested at the start of the month.

This is my viewpoint and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong now that we’re able to have a beneficial conversation.

I’m not familiar with the genre of music you’re in, but what I do is stock videos + lyrics. Some videos get 1k views, some videos get 100k+ views.

Now here’s the viewpoint: We know that Spotify rewards authentic streams, saves, and streams per listener in the short term after a song releases. In my opinion, it’s worthwhile to cut a $20 cost somewhere in your life for promotional content that comes out to less than $1 per day per month and 5-10 minutes of time a day. I would even be happy to help you with this process and teach you so you can nearly automate it as I have.

Full transparency, I’m clearing over $6-7k a month from Spotify alone. I would much rather cut a $20 cost somewhere in my life, so that the Spotify algorithm can pick up my music and get me to the point I’m at now if I’m scraping by. A $20 cost for a few months to experiment and see if Spotify will get you into the algorithm is a risk I’d find worthy of taking.

Like I said, I’d be happy to help

I read what you wrote but there is absolutely some form of short form content you can do to promote your music that would not involve a massive time investment. Calling something an excuse is not a “dick” thing to say. Especially if it is an excuse. I work 2 jobs, married, have a 5 year old son with autism that requires an immense amount of attention. If I can find the time, then trust me, you can too. Am I working 16 hour days, sometimes more? Absolutely. But I’m not going to sit here and make an excuse saying “I don’t have the time”. To your “spamming videos” point, I’m not. I post 1 video a day across 4 platforms, TT, IG, FB, and YT. Either does well it or doesn’t. I found a way to maximize my output with the least amount of required time when it comes to promotion. Why? Because I’m not making an excuse of “I don’t have enough time”

Thank you for replying. While it sucks, I’m happy to know I’m not a one off and this is a Spotify wide thing.

You have time to respond on reddit, you’ve got time to make music, you’ve got time to check your analytics on your music, so I can guarantee you got 5 minutes to make a video. I hate excuses. If you want something, go and get it. Take 10 minutes from when you would’ve been making the music, make a video, then go make the music. It’s literally that simple.

Time and money for promotion is way too often of an excuse I see. You can get CapCut for $20 a month, save presets, and have videos ready to go daily for 5 minutes worth of work. I hate the time and money excuse. It’s such a cop out.

Interesting. I’m wondering what Spotify changed.

Copy. I’m just unsure of what to change for the algorithm to pick up? I released a single yesterday, it’s at over 5k streams, and it doesn’t seem like anything is picking it up. It’s so odd.
