You gotta fight, for your right, to have websites

I've spent years on social media as a musician and comedian posting my work and deep thoughts into the ether. Through it I've connected at times with many, and even been booked for events and interviews, posting on social apps in many ways has mostly felt like building sand castles for me rather tha...

Ai won't put you out of your job, Supplying your specialized knowledge & skill to it will.

I was on TikTok the other day just browsing, and a pop-up came up on my screen, encouraging me to make a new template for them with the possibility of profiting form making it attached. This piqued my usual skepticism of social media work schemes, as I have spent many years creating and uploading to...

How modern tech segregates success and upholds old world discrimination

There are many ways in which so called "algorithms" can be created to carefully determine who succeeds on the apps and platforms we use every day. As governments have lost their grip on technology in the midst of aging and non-technical oversight, we as entrepreneurs and consumers are incr...

A basic bill of rights for musicians in the age of streaming

As we already know, we're in the midst of a writer and actor's strike, due to the intense burden the modern streaming era has placed upon their industry over the past years... Long before that, music was streamed online, in many cases, musicians flocked to streaming first, as it often helped them to...

How can we counter idea theft and stolen credit in the age of AI?

I've posted opinion pieces here and many other places online a few times and quickly noticed paraphrased clones of my ideas sometimes emerge soon after (that subsequently reach the front pages on some sites more than I'd like to discover as well) I also post here because the stats on viewership here...

Extortion is the practice of obtaining benefit through coercion. Racketeering is the act of acquiring a business through illegal activity, operating a business with illegally-derived income, or using a business to commit illegal acts.

Our phone numbers... The ultimate ID for covert info harvesting.

It may seem to be a minor thing, but there's a reason why your phone number is required for many sites now, even when they don't really need to have that information. About 4-6 years ago, the need for MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) was imposed upon many for using applications in order to ensure a...

And that all accounts that don't pay his (relatively new) 8 dollar a month subscription fee will be invisible on Twitter's main information feed (killing general public visibility of non-paying ac...

The music you can't hear...

There is literally a ton of music you've never heard before, and these days, it's getting much harder to find... From when our first tune was uploaded in 2018 until now (as we have over 45 songs in our catalogue) we've only had around 5,000 collective streams total on our music on Spotify. It's almo...

Self promotion on social media apps like reddit is discouraged and banned likely in support of an underbelly of grifting

Self promotion (by musicians and entertainers unless they're already famous) is looked down upon and even banned on pretty much most popular web spots where it would thrive with a bit of proper moderation, and I think it's mind boggling, how every other subreddit allows users to post their self/comp...
