this rent to own thing for live is good for someone like me who is still using 10 and updated every 7-8 years otherwise with the rate they release versions is not suitable for someone who is gonna update with every version.

I want to change in case max 9 compatibility is added otherwise meh

bandcamp Fridays actually pissed me off so much for this reason

Siavash Amini @capgrasman.bsky.social · 19h

youtube, instagram and tiktok that's were some of this attitude spills over i think

Siavash Amini @capgrasman.bsky.social · 19h

yes codes are great for this, but there's a limit where people just loos interest in those too, I've many unredeemed codes. and I don't feel bad about sharing old work, it's just that if you're not constantly showing something off, you get off people radar so fast.

Siavash Amini @capgrasman.bsky.social · 23h

the thing is numbers show most people have stopped listening ot haven't listened to most releases after 3 months, they become almost dead. at least that's my numbers.

I think albums shouldn't stop getting played because it's three months past their release date-- something that is getting very real these past couple of years.

I spent more than a year on this, while its subject being something I've been working towards in my albums since 2020.

give it a listen❤️
