I quit releasing my own music. (lemmy.world)

Releasing my own music on Spotify, SoundCloud, and other platforms is challenging.

Routenote and Fresh Tunes are boring, and DistroKid is outrageously expensive.

I don't have any money, so I'll probably give up. 😞

P.S. my PayPal account is dead

What does your PayPal account have to do with anything?

Oh dear, what a shame, never mind.

Routenote and Fresh Tunes are boring

And? What does that have to do with anything? Doing dishes and cleaning the bathroom are boring, but still need to get done. Sitting in a tour van and tuning guitars is boring, but it needs to get done.

I think my producer, Neigsendoig, has an idea. Have you tried Wavlake?

Edit: It won't be like those you mentioned, as they use a BTC Lightning-based Value-for-Value system with Nostr integration. Neigsendoig uses it to host his music and podcast, in case YouTube falsely decided he was violating ToS, despite knowing he's not in violation of said ToS.

You made a few chiptunes songs. Now find your own style and make a full album.

Is bandcamp an option?

They linked it in another post here. Looks like trolling for pity-buys or something.

I get that vibe along with "thought it would be easy to become a paid music producer".
