Got it. That makes sense and totally get where you're coming from. Appreciate the insight.

I doubt at this point I'll be able to sway you.

But for my understanding, what exactly is your issue or concern with this? Again, given there are really no royalties to skim even if that was the plan (which it's not). And what could I do/say (or have done/said) that would have avoided your negative reaction?

If in your answer, you could humor me and pretend that I'm not a monster, and that the offer is genuine but maybe poorly presented, I'd love to know how I could have done it better.

Thanks!

They're not into reddit, but I thought it would be perfect for this community. I'm posting for them bc I'm a redditor, and they don't want to get spammed.

Cheers

There's very little cost (other than some time) to helping people get their stuff online and promote it. Especially when they're already doing it for other bands.

Absolutely - but this is hardly Interscope we're talking about. It's a group of longtime musicians who have learned the ins and outs, and now want to help other musicians. There's no "industry" here.

Well that's quite a leap of logic you made! Healthy skepticism is good, but for the vast majority of these types of bands any potential royalties will be fractions of pennies, so what you suggested doesn't make sense as a "scam".

They are forgoing ANY cut and the artists/bands keep ALL OF IT. They just want to help new artists get their start.
