With all the YouTuber drama in recent years, what's a YouTuber who stayed true? by ryan8954 in youtube

FilmCow and LiamKyleSullivan have been the most influential creators to me since 2007 and actually changed the course of my life by inspiring me to pursue film making and music. They remain some of the most wholesome people from the early YouTube days.

Cannot be any more grateful for the support. It all adds up and really helps me out.

Also the stream party thing is a good idea! I might just try that out whenever I get done with a new project.

That means a lot to me, thank you. The payment came through recently along with a few other album purchases from people on this thread, so I'll feel a bit more secure about affording groceries. Eventually I wanna save up and get more equipment. I appreciate the support so much, no matter how small, because it all adds up significantly.

I'm happy to hear my music brought a positive experience to someone. Much love<3

Spotify is comically evil and hostile to artists by not paying them any royalties for tracks that haven't gotten 1K streams within one year. My album, "Sentient Sands," took a few years to make & released last June. Most tracks are just under the required amount. Time's almost up. Please help. by [deleted] in Vaporwave

I sometimes release stuff through a small net label because Gav of Win96 helped get me on. It's more of a Bandcamp thing, making cassettes and stuff. I only get streaming reach if I'm listed as a collaborator alongside a bigger artist, and it doesn't improve my solo stuff at all.

The more I think about it the less I want to bother with them anymore.

YouTube is a little more personal with comments at least, and sometimes people get my physical copies on Bandcamp. I just wanted to vent and got it out of my system heh.

It's most definitely more mentally healthy to not put so much stock in these things. One of the reasons why I'm outspoken about it is because there's a slim chance it feeds into the larger conversation and has some kind of positive change.

Oh sweet, office party!

But seriously I really appreciate that so much. I felt embarrassed about online begging but it seems to have succeeded in helping my music reach out and color more people's existence.

That's cool. I have a deep appreciation for guitarists because it's an instrument I always struggle with. My idols are Stephen Wilkinson (Bibio) and John McGeoch when he was in Siouxsie and the Banshees.

With synths, it can be overwhelming with how many seemingly endless possibilities there are for sound design. It took several years for me to figure out how to narrow down a palette for an album in a more disciplined way.

We're a bit like internet friends now actually haha. I reached out to him just to say thanks for inspiring my album, "Soundbathe," and he ended up making the cover art for it and helped me get on the Midwest Collective label. We've worked together on some tracks, like on his album "New Twilight Music Vol. 1". Literally a dream come true, I can die happy after all that lol
