Rant? That was not a rant. It's an observational opinion, and a fair and well reasoned one at that..... https://npub1k0q20cdcvc64h6pka8ddum6m6y2edm6mw6v73cfctjwvhq3rrejss2kmaj.blossom.band/f1ea3106cb...

Hey @nprofile1q... just listening to your latest show. Wasn't aimed at podcasters, rather the listeners. It's fine if they aren't music fans, but Salty recent said around 1% boost and I imagine most music shows are similar. If they are music fans then why don't they boost? (I know there's other value return which isn't captured.)
If the music isn't good enough for them to boost then contributing to artists not seeing ROI probably won't help to attract the artists whose music they DO like. Ergo, they don't believe in decentralized music - at least not enough to continue to invest in it.
I'm not judging, just stating facts as I see them.
If that 1% grew to 5% or even more, or the listener-base were to grow significantly, maybe more quality artists would be attracted here?

I was hoping my provocative post would stir some conversation and potentially some new ideas.

I think you're trying to understand why the other 96% do not support/send value, and th...

You're right! I would love to know why 99-96% don't boost ๐Ÿ˜ Knowing gives a target. "That's how it is" doesn't satisfy my mind but it's something at least. Good questions! I try to boost 2 or 3 of my favorite songs and the show itself for every v4v music show. I reinvest all the value that comes...
