THE TRUTH ABOUT SPOTIFY UNWRAPPED
Here are my stats for the past 12 months
- 650K total streams
- 207K total listeners
- 98K NEW people discovered my music
- 32K hours of playing
- 6.4K playlists added my songs
- 5.1K saves on my songs
Looks like great numbers doesn’t it?
Almost 100K new people discovered me wow!!
These pretty numbers added up to exactly
- 0 money earned
- 0 people onboarded to web3
- 0 IRL opportunities
- 0 new fans buying tickets to my shows
- 0 relevant data on those listeners
I’m sharing this cause I know there are millions of artists in the same position who may believe betting on your streams count is your only option…
Happy to tell you that IT’S NOT THE ONLY OPTION.
However, Spotify, with their sneaky Ponzi like marketing scheme, make us all believe that their metrics are the only ones that matter.
With this cute little unwrapped tactic, they encourage Artists and Fans to, once again, promote THEM.
That said, imo artists should use all the tools they see working for them.
I do, however, want to provide a voice outside of the choir for those that (like me) don’t see themselves fitting within this narrative.
YOU HAVE OPTIONS.
Spotify’s voice is louder than ours and they make us believe that we don’t have a choice.
So let me scream it from the top of my lungs cause this is all I can do (for now😈)
YOU HAVE OTHER OPTIONS
And your best one right now is called WEB 3 🔥
PS. I’m not posting those graphics because I don’t want Spotify’s logo on my X page
