As for the engage question in general:
Well it is hard for a musician to get people really involved with the own music and product. But From day 1 on I got massive support on Hive. Not only people liking and commenting my posts, but also supporting on other platforms so I could earn something with my music. They buy my own token, they entered my Discord to support, etc.
I do alot for my community with NFTs, events, etc. I agree that this is alot of work, and I would rather use my time to make more music than take care of all this so many hours of the week. It is alot of work, and often too much for sure.
But to have success on other non-crypto platforms, it requires alot of work too. You always just can´t only make music. You need to do marketing and artist-fan building work.
There used to be massive support here on Hive, but since 1,5 years it got quiet. I hope for the next bullrun, so that the massive support comes back.
