Three, two, one...
I know I sound like a flaming narcissist when I write about this (the jury is out: I am), but it’s been a fascination of mine for awhile. And I tend to write about the same things. I haven’t written about Stockton Rush’s hubris killing a teenager, but that’s so last week.
My latest song just broke over 230 hits. I do try to make good content for the site and its clientele, but I don’t think they (the songs) deserve that much attention. Songs that are more recently prior to my latest track did not pull in numbers that flattering.
As I uploaded less and less songs and as the hits started to decline, I thought that it was only natural. If I barely upload anything anymore, people are going to jump ship. After the decline, anything new I manage to eke out will be met with less than prior enthusiasm.
So I had to wonder again, and I asked my best friend what they thought. Why/how did my latest song slap? Obviously it wasn’t because it was particularly… great. It was fine, but yes… they speculated that it may’ve just been the timing. I uploaded it at a certain point in time where it caught the eye of a lot of randos, and also it may’ve been that not a lot of songs were getting uploaded that day, so it stayed on the front page longer.
Another idea they had was that it may’ve just been that the thumbnail was intriguing. I hadn’t even thought of that! Of course sometimes people click on a song because of the thumbnail. Or at least I can admit that I do that.
On the downside, this song got zero faves. That means a lot of random people listened to it, hated it, and will likely never listen to anything I do in the future. I have to up my game and use powerful AI technology, or I’m going to get left in the dust.
