Thanks for the shout out @mo 👊 I'm doing my best. Despite it feeling at times like this,

But as small as the community is in ~Music it's for people like GR, Roll, 0b1, 02 Jess, jerry and a whole bunch of new nyms I havnt mentioned, who show up every day to share another hobby/passion with other like minded people.

Bitcoin may be how and why we found SN, but we're not just BTC farms we're people with lives and stories, talking about things like sports and music and movies (RIP ~Movies) allows us to build connections with people in a world where connection seems to be rare. Each song posted comes with a memory for both the poster and the person listening, sometimes it's story time and we dive into those memories, sometimes we keep them to ourselves. But each time... For an average length of 3minutes and 45seconds (numbers plucked from the sky but that sounds about right for a song). We shared something. In today's world where we are more physically connected to people than ever before, we are further from meaningful connections with people than we've ever been.

If I have a small part in helping someone feel that connection for 3minutes of their day, I'll chalk that up in the win column.

We recently had someone releasing new music and is using our Pinned posts to advertise their work in celebration of their upcoming album and book! This is huge and I'm glad ~music could be a part of that story.

More real talk, the territory does need financial assistance, just like every other territory, with the fiat cost of BTC now, it's becoming more of a barrier to providing these spaces for people. So without wanting to sound like I'm begging. I'd certainly appreciate those dailies and weeklies getting a few more zaps. I'm not in this for money, that's not what that's about for me. I hope I made that clear further up, but it'd be a great shame if people lost those spaces like music and sports and others where we get real connection for fleeting moments of our days.

From a BItcoin point of view, bitcoin is truth, if people want it, they'll vote with their sats... The problem is... "Everyone likes, nobody zaps" 🤣. So much interaction and engagement but so few zaps. Eventually people will learn that the more you zap the more you earn, but we haven't got there yet. (And god I hope ~Music survives these growing pains).

As far as the music territory is concerned I will continue to do all I can to keep that space alive for those people and for small time artists who come to SN for the bitcoin but stay for the connections.

Edit. Apologies for the wall of text... It seemed I had a lot to say 🤣
