Realizing… it’s sorta all about the money in music?

if you think streams are meant to be a profitable source of income then i could never win that. our conversation basically started based off where opportunities were created, by luck or by you.

“320k” or really any amount of streams is opportunities and you can buy it. thats not a bad deal. compared to the reality that you present which is “hope for the best.” thats the point of my whole spill above man, its an investment. most businesses are unprofitable the first 2 years. using stream revenue as a loss is not a good argument.

even if by your standards, you are “not a success.” by the time you reach that point, you know you can just stop buying ads and still collect revenue for like the next few years, break even on your investment and be out basically nothing right? so why not do it? streams do not fall off that fast. im still doing like 75% daily from songs i stopped marketing a year ago. technically if i do it song by song, all my old songs have made a profit.

another point worth mentioning, right now my budget all comes from my stream revenue. it started as a couple hundred a month of my own income from my job. now ive replaced that with stream revenue. so im losing nothing really.

i left a screenshot of my stats in a different comment if u want to make sure im not bullshitting. and if you wanted help getting traffic to your music feel free to DM me. idk if ur music is any good either but mine sucks ass and if i can do a million streams i think most people can lol.
