Do not buy streams! Repeat after me. Do not buy streams!
This is something I will not stop talking about. I don't want to see artists risk their music being taken down, their distributor or label breaking up with them, or even worse, giving up on music all together. It is not a fast track to success, it will actually harm you long term.
There's so much more I could say but I needed to get this off my chest. Please, do not buy streams! Thanks for hearing me out and please spread the word, protect your fellow artists and friends.
Video description: A white male in his 30's wearing a t-shirt that says "practice safe sandwiching". Standing at a desk with a boom mic near his face and vinyl records plus a fake fiddle leaf fig plant with toy koalas in the background. Please note. I am making every effort to ensure my content is accessible to as many people as possible. That is why I include closed captions and a video description. If there's something I can do to make my content even more accessible please let me know. Thank you. Make some noise in the comments if there's something I missed, and if you know another artist that could benefit, please tag or share this with them!
