Oddbean new post about login | logout @6bb89eb5 It's just like splits! only with no transparency, interoperability, or accountability. "trust me bro" accounting is not the way.
@0bbfb2de Pretty sad
@6bb89eb5 @0bbfb2de 1/8th of the music feeds are non Wavlake. It was 1/9th a few weeks ago, and 1/10th a month ago. It's a good trend. We'll just have to keep building and educating, which will either force Wavlake to adapt or make them insignificant in the space. Hopefully musicians are the Independent lot I've always known them to be and will choose wisely. They're also playing with fire with the iOS app, Nostr integration, and calling the boosts zaps. Apple already spoke w/ Damus.
@6bb89eb5 @0bbfb2de I want Wavlake to be a success, but only if they're willing to play along with everyone instead of riding the coat-tails of what we're building with RSS v4v music and creating this hybrid walled garden they've been building. I don't think it's what's best for the musicians at this point, but it's up to the musicians and listeners to decide what value system they support. As for me and my house, we support interop and ANY music feed or LN address is welcome.
@606c482f @6bb89eb5 @0bbfb2de Disappointing
@6a75920f @606c482f @6bb89eb5 @0bbfb2de I've removed all references to Wavlake on my onboarding article. https://sirlibre.com/lightning-thrashes/how-you-and-your-band-can-get-paid-from-streaming-bitcoin-boosts-and-boostagrams/ Until they learn how to play nice the they can go and alleviate themselves up a rope. Also, please look over the article I could use some feedback on it.
@f374c6a0 I love it Feel free to point folks to this sample RSS feed which has notes about every single relevant music tag: what it is, what it does, and how to add your music to it. https://github.com/de-mu/demu-feed-template/blob/master/feed-with-comments.xml I'm working on some videos to supplement it too so there will be some step-by-step stuff for it @6a75920f @606c482f @0bbfb2de
@6bb89eb5 @6a75920f @606c482f @0bbfb2de Thank you. This is an excellent resource. I added the template to the article. https://sirlibre.com/lightning-thrashes/how-you-and-your-band-can-get-paid-from-streaming-bitcoin-boosts-and-boostagrams/
@f374c6a0 @6a75920f @606c482f @6bb89eb5 @0bbfb2de Hope you would consider adding PodcastMirror.com to your resources. Music hosted anyplace that has a RSS feed can be used with PodcastMirror to setup V4V in about 10 minutes.
@5f638e10 @f374c6a0 @6a75920f @6bb89eb5 @0bbfb2de Does Podcast Mirror let you set the medium tag? It's a channel level tag. That works be really important for music feeds.
@5f638e10 @6a75920f @606c482f @6bb89eb5 @0bbfb2de After looking over PodcastMirror.com I don't think it's a good fit for the article. My target audience would be un-hosted musicians and PCM would be for already hosted musicians. That said I'd be happy to include blubrry.com in the list of v4v hosting companies. Does Blubrry support the medium tag? Does Blubrry allow for Item level splits? Can a musician have multiple RSS feeds (Albums) on one plan or would they have to pay for each Feed?
@f374c6a0 @6a75920f @606c482f @6bb89eb5 @0bbfb2de yes, we have supported the medium tag and item level for a while now, and we have item level splits. Of course, both with powerpress for WordPress, If they have their own website, they can self host everything and be ready or they can host with us as well. For artist on SoundCloud already this makes it exceptionally easy for them to bring their RSSto podcast mirror as well. Or even those on waveLake 100% transparency on their feed splits.
