I know exactly how you feel. I've been a music producer for 5 years now, last year I started having enough beats in the vault to upload one every day so I committed to it. I still upload every day it's been 7 months and every day I upload on Beatstars and my YouTube channel. I thought if people could see the caliber of my consistency they would tap in a little more, but I feel like it only made my followers more lost somehow. In this dilemma, I have found myself stuck in the rat race or casino as you describe it. I'm not gonna stop posting because then people would never hear about my music but I also feel like idk how much longer I can keep doing this putting my all out there just for it to get completely ignored and unseen. I used to think our greatest fear as artists was people telling us our art was shit or bad, but our biggest fear should be that nobody ever even sees our art to begin with.
That last line really hits—our biggest fear isn’t people hating our work, it’s them never seeing it at all.
I don’t have all the answers, but I do know this: the best work outlives the algorithm. Keep making what you want to make, not just what the machine wants. Thanks for reading!
