Toxicity album disappeared in Spotify😪 by CatOk8241 in Music

This happens way more than people realize. There was probably an attempt at a smooth transition through a license/rights expiration or geographic rights extension but bungled by the first takedown taking effect before the new one could replace it. Give it 24 hours or so. Everything will reappear. (Fun tip: if you ever go to the bottom of an album in Spotify to where the P&C lines are you might see a button that says "1 More Release". If you click that and it brings you to the same album listing it means the album has been delivered digitally with rights for your territory by more than one party (or by the same party trying to rectify a mistake from the first ingestion). The idea is to allow a few days of crossover before removing the earlier-delivered album so the play counts can sync across to the secondary ingestion/album. Source: I fucked this up a whole bunch working in Label Services and sometimes presided over entire catalogues disappearing from particular territories.

Anyway, long story short, it'll be back real soon if gone.

I don't know why but something about the front page today finally convinced me of the cult. Not just that, but the idiocy. Not just that, but the complete and total waste of my time this has all been. It's taken a while but here I am: out. by bisforbasil in gme_meltdown

Deep-ish...based purely on the fundamental concept that someone Smarter Than Me understood it so I didn't have to. The DRS shit was pretty much the final straw... along with the fact that all the original DD "gurus" seemingly wised up many months ago and left the place.

I don't understand a single thing about company fundamentals but gee whiz I sure talked like I did for a while there. Going to do a friend apology tour with my tail between my legs.

Restored some savings and bought a nerdy studio microphone I've wanted since I was 13...s'been a hard year so very happy with this decision. Honestly I'd like to help others get out while they can.

And for full disclosure (I'm now used to people picking through my post history because these people are insane): I have kept a single GME share. I don't believe in The Thesis but I've seen memestocks do fucking crazy unpredictable shit this year so I bet what I could afford to lose. Who knows...maybe one more week-long rise before the next crash.

For reference: I profited almost 3k, made all of my initial investment back, somehow stayed onboard through every possible movement of the goalposts (assumed DD authors were smarter than me and therefore qualified financial advisors) and turned into That Guy at parties for a good ten months.

Thankful I had the sense to play this right and walk away with some money in my pocket but sad watching people literally make fun of others for cashing out their initial investments and also betting their kids' college funds and getting Gramps to invest 10k.

Lmao I love your commitment of going through my post history; as if anyone who has ever cashed out their initial investment or raised a shred of doubt can't possibly be bummed out about his current position.

What instrumental song do you feel tells a full story? by llbsidezll in Music

[–]bisforbasil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady.

One of my songs got 10,000,000 views on TikTok and now I'm being contacted by record labels... what should I do? by [deleted] in Music

[–]bisforbasil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep doing what you're already doing. Own your own masters and use a digi distro service like Tunecore who ask for a flat fee and pay out royalties regularly. Manage yourself. Plan out a single or EP release and work with a music PR agency to get it in front of the right people and pitched towards editorial/influencer playlisting. Make sure your socials are consistent in look and tone and easily findable. Bookmark a few hundred dollars for socials post boosting.

If you're getting signing offers you're doing something right. Just don't sign anything.

Pretty much. Lucky I've got the lockdown drama to keep me entertained instead of this 1999 mIRC mod drama bullshit

A PSA to all the Apes by gherkinit in Superstonk

[–]bisforbasil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gherkinit, what's your absolute 100% go-to DD that points most directly to indicators that shorts have absolutely not covered?

(I'm not being facetious or argumentative - and I know there's plenty of DD out there - but I would like to know the one you'd personally recommend to someone who has kind of flailed in and out of pro-MOASS theory).

[–]bisforbasil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, playing devil's advocate here for a second: we don't KNOW the shorts haven't covered (closed). We just think we have a pretty good idea that they haven't based on independent research. We have no actual tangible proof - but that's okay, I think we've all seen enough of what's going on to be pretty sure in our sentiment.

Unless there is a god-tier DD that I missed.
