This happened yesterday with another vocal-only video on YT that someone pointed out on twitter. Seems like the Youtube Content ID algorithm is claiming quite a few of these lately. We are definitely able to help getting those claims removed though!

Artists think the whole world should be their audience. They aren’t. Dig into the data. Figure out who your audience is, and when they are most active on social media. Target them. Don’t waste ad money on people who really aren’t interested.

Do you ever avoid supporting a friend's music bc it reminds you that you have your own work to do? How can we stop comparing our successes to each other, and lift one another up in our communities? Breathe, remember everyone's path is different, and be present.
