thats all well and good, we used to have things like street teams that would volunteer their time to help make somebody make it, they would donate their time to go out and promote for an artist they liked. But the world changed, people became self obsessed, they became entitled, they want it all with none of the hard work. Years ago I spent so much time on promotions, I had my own website with player which I programmed all myself, I put so much time into promoting on myspace and was actually getting a lot of traffic. And then myspace killed itself and it was a huge waste of time and effort, I lost my job and couldnt pay for the website, so that went too. It wasnt that long after that that I lost all my motivation to make music any more, and took a heart attack to bring me back from retirement, and thank fuck it did.
