I've watched many of her videos, as well as many other folks, and that is why I am horrified at the absolute shitshow anyone releasing new music is fumbling into.
Hence my questions.

My band just finished 6 songs in the studio.Will go the usual route and keep expectations low and hope for the best.300 cds( mainly for selling at shows,along with merch), & spotify,maybe some thumb drives,some streaming,etc,etc.
Our main coin is made from the negotiated gig prices in the ryder,the rest is just extra these days.

I don't release any music because it's a crowded market and I don't see myself going on the road and starving just so I can sell t-shirts and merchandise to make ends meet. Just loads of unfinished songs like the unfinished business of ghosts.
There's just so many bands and so many records coming out every week. Seems like the more successful ones are all paying to game social media by ensuring thousands of likes and hits, which then serve to make the algorithm recommend that music to other people.
It's essentially "pay to win", like those mobile phone games where people who spend the most money on items always win in the PvP battles.
Besides that, you should realise how limited the appeal of audio is compared to videos. There's a reason why the huge bands and artists spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to make videos of literally every track that is on a release. Unless you can do the same, it's very unlikely you'll get above the sightline and into the public consciousness.
It's like they said in the 70s, video killed the radio star.
