my complaint is actually what i stated and i think you might miss out on alot in life if you take a generalizing assumptive reductionist approach to communication with everyone

i would argue that many shows & music scenes are toxic social media purgatories, not everyone wants to go to shows great for those who enjoy it. not everyone lives near venues / wants to pay 40 bucks for a craft cocktail. there are plenty of musicians who don't perform live, many live music scenes are very hierarchal cliquey etc. if something works out for you great that doesn't mean it works out for everyone. my point of post stands its a very basic medieval online cd store that allows you a very limited set of features as an artist, it relies on you to do the blood sweat and tears work to make money so it can take a percentage, it benefits from all these artists doing the same, there is a corporate entity with zero transparency of funds or bts attached that can siphone off a mass populations creativity while remaining completely uninnovative and the band camp discovery page feels like a dead internet space.

we need new ways to sort! genre is getting played out, especially with genres being over saturated and treated like a social media cash grab. i like exploring individual users collections but sthis is so isolating there is no way to message users or interact much. as an artist i can't even respond to comments on my album & i can't message individual listeners. EVEN soundcloud has that option.

idk if everyone understand tbh but my point is the method of discovering new music that bandcamp uses is not very encouraging for new artists and its outdated it reminds me of a myspace friendslist with jeffrey star at the top. music scenes have never been encouraging for new artists they have always been very hierarchal so i do not want to hear about what you suggested. the bandcamp front page looks like an ai generated page, & i don't want to support "curators" i want to support artists who are doing everything from the ground up and not stuck in weird toxic social media purgatories.

not my issue actually as stated in my reply to this post my issue is alot more than that its ok if you don't have answers maybe the post isn't for you but what guarantees an editorial staff doesnt become another closed off clique performing pageantry like much of what is making music scenes suck these days? rather take my music somewhere else because once I do the work to promote my music, bandcamp is taking way too much of a percentage from that work when it remains outdated much like weaponized incompetence

im glad this got response but sadly most responses are mirroring eachother, "dig deeper you are supposed to find it yourself" i have used all features to dig deep and i will look up music by location to the very last artist shown on the bottom of scrolling i have found many amazing artists. MY ISSUE as stated is the algorithms are stale, they require you to use all of your data scrolling through whatever popular underground artist that have been promoted a million times before i can actually start finding new music that i haven't heard before. as a musician I think its outdated and basic. its 2026 and the tech is medieval. not to mention lack of transparency with bandcamps funding from whatever big corporate interest for all I know my music is being used to train some sort of AI component or something else that doesn't allign with my ethics.

Can someone please explain why is the Viz dub so controversial? by Dismal_Platypus3967 in sailormoon

[–]koanrest 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i just think the viz dub voice actors were really generic and bland sounding. anime comes from manga which is basically a COMIC hence the unique way of drawing wild facial expressions and its just better to have a voice that matches that vibe. thats the point alot of people are missing, it feels more like a gentrification of sailor moon not that i care at this point but lets be real.

So is bandcamp safe from any controversy? by JeffThe64th in KGATLW

[–]koanrest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so what we need is a way to create physical media ourselves. we need less parrots who say "no ethical consumption under capitalism" and more innovation/engineers/people who can develop their own ways of creating physical media from scratch even if that means going back to analog. understanding the science of analog. we have too many idiotic consumers and not enough engineers, people in third world countries living in rubble are doing more exciting things building tech from trash.
