RE: 1000+ followers but nobody actually sees my content
Utopian is built on the steem blockchain. When you do a contribution to an open-source project by coding / translations / graphics you'll write a post about it on their website.
When something is approved by one of the mods you'll get an upvote from utopian based on the quality of your work.
Youtube can be a bitch. Especially when you're into sampling or doing covers of songs. Censorship also is shit, you could change DNS or use a VPN, that might be interesting to giving you more internet freedom. In the Netherlands is not much censorship :) I'm lucky :D
As a musician you could check out https://dsound.audio/. It's a Soundcloud on the Steem blockchain.
http://dlive.io, a video and live streaming platform on this blockhain, you might have seen it already.
They all post to Steemit, the main thing I find interesting on these platforms is the support by the platforms themselves. Streaming on dlive could get you an upvote by dlive, which can give a lot of support when you care about reward for your time-consuming work.
What I found out about steemit, is that you'll have to really connect with other users by leaving meaningfull comments. That way people will actually be interested in your posts for the time you keep really connecting. When you stop being active on other people's posts, they'll eventually care less about you and stop upvoting you. This platform requires a lot of "potential follower engagement" since there's no communities/groups/channels.
Maybe make your Steemit more about music and stories about it?
That would be valuable to the musicians here :P Sure thing there's a lot more politics going on here 😂🤣
Oh, many thanks for those other sites suggestions. I will check them out more calmly when I have time. Oh, and in the Netherlands its the same problem, I don't want to give too much away from my identity because I prefer to be known simply as a musician with no face, but, we zijn niet ver van elkaar.
But I'm not really here for the money, I prefer just to provide music, like I said, I got on Steemit accidentally. But yeah, if you want to get forward here on Steemit, it's not about the content you provide, it's the comments. Almost if not all the money I ever got were only from comments. You realy need to interect with the community, but I find that fun actually.
This channel will be only about music, art, games and stories. I asked for a second channel were I will be more political and basically do everything what this channel isn't about.
Oh, and me myself got never censored by Youtube, and I think that's because I try to keep the name Broken faceless, like the Gorillaz.
