Hi Harrison,
Thanks for your words and views.
Seems very strange to me that all my friends who I know from Soundcloud are getting massive upvotes all the time, but I still haven't had more than 30c of upvotes on a post.
Oh well. Maybe the curators just dont like my stuff?
But I suppose it's just a matter of waiting and continuing to upload on a daily and weekly basis, and trying to engage with others' content in a meaningful way!
Yep, you nailed it. I've seen upvoted music of all genres and mediums (podcasts and such too), so I would like to think the curators are more interested in quality and passion than personal preference.
Just stay focused on your craft (which I'm sure you are) and I'm confident your time will come if you're putting out great work. It takes some time but you'll get there.
