Jeremy - thanks for bringing your concerns to our attention.
And sorry to be slow to follow up here. Twitter/X has kind of become a cesspool, so we don’t invest effort in it anymore.
@jjbbllkk @Loomy7 If we missed anything, please let us know, and we will try to remove that also.
I hope that this addresses any concerns that you have.
We've replied both here and on the site for clarity and transparency about our process.
@jjbbllkk @Loomy7 Since you have concerns about our approach, we’ve removed the work that you did for BeetleCrab/Tempera from our site, and will avoid sharing your paid content in the future.
If we missed anything, please let us know, and we will try to remove that also.
@jjbbllkk @Loomy7 “Red Means Recording shared this video-song style synthwave track, featuring the Novation Bass Station 2 analog synthesizer.”

@jjbbllkk @Loomy7 “In his video, Jeremy Blake (Red Means Recording) shares his thoughts on making music with the Moog Subharmonicon.”

@jjbbllkk @Loomy7 When we feature videos on the site that are not paid marketing, we try to always include an appropriate credit. For example, here are the credits included on a couple of your videos that we’ve previously featured on Synthtopia:
@jjbbllkk @Loomy7 Based on this, we viewed your work as part of the manufacturer’s official marketing, and for that reason, did not include a credit.
No slight was intended towards you, we just viewed your content as paid marketing, and that seems reasonable to us, since you labeled it as such.
@jjbbllkk @Loomy7 In the case of your work for BeetleCrab/Tempera – it was presented to us as part of the manufacturer’s marketing, it’s positioned on the Tempera site as an official video and your Youtube page states that “This video is sponsored by the makers of Tempera.”
@jjbbllkk @Loomy7 Synthtopia generally does not include credits on content that is part of official marketing materials of the manufacturer. So when Korg introduces a new product, we don’t include credits for Korg, their ad agency, their copywriter, the company that made their video, etc.
Jeremy - thanks for bringing your concerns to our attention.
