Episode 581: This week we discuss the Hypebot article, The truth behind why you aren’t getting more streams, written by Randall Foster from Symphonic.

It means no one knows it’s there (if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to see it fall- did it make a sound?). People are not interacting with your music because they don’t know who you are, nor do they care. Why should they?

If your streaming numbers are not growing, I would ask myself some very hard questions… we run through the questions.
