I never saw myself working at a major label, but today was my first day on the product team at @Warnermusic.

My good people of the web3 music world: please don’t hesitate to reach out. My handle hasn’t changed ✨

@johnLdickens @Verite I don’t care about men in bathrooms, I don’t care about men in women’s sports — I do want to have a kid and not worry about dying while someone weighs the legal risk

@VinceValholla Need a minimum of 2 for the best ones so you have one for the car and one for your room

direct to fan is over hyped this, streaming makes more revenue that

in 1999 i spent $16.99 on at LEAST 3 of these because i kept scratching them

@AbelowRob The world needs an 8-10 episode podcast season on this exact topic. (By the world I mean me)

@derekkohn @AbelowRob The trust and safety cost alone 🫠

@rrhoover Not super flashy but https://t.co/hMecn4d6Sj does all of this. Filter by long term stay discount, must include kitchenette. They search across Sonder, Vacasa, etc.

@emilyherrera Depends what you need it for -- but chartmetric ($5/month) and viberate ($3/month) and are good sources for spotify and you can export to csv

@justindross But actually never a better time to be a creator product made for owning your own (compliant) audience data 🤷‍♀️

@derekkohn @palaangelino I’d lump some of the paid AI tools into this category honestly. So many cancelled subscriptions 🫠

@nikitabier It’s Google. Haven’t purchased anything without typing “Reddit” to the end of my search in probably a year.

For now, I trust my angry anons more than any shill-AI-listicle

@DrBDT @eade_bengard … whatever helps us sleep at night

[Bri Connelly @web3ri]

@eade_bengard I can't reproduce until they do genetic testing for ThinkPad

[Bri Connelly @web3ri]

@zachtratar @AbelowRob Would love to hear more about that!

@ladidaix Only been here since October but things are movin fast 🔥

Cat's out of the bag, this is me and my awesome team.

Platforms designed for mass consumption present fundamental challenges for artists. Even the best intentions will come second place to the bottom line.

Excited to flip the model on it's head.

Warner is building a superfan app.

It will be cross-platform, connect artists + fans directly & probably monetize the hell out em.

"I firmly believe in the power of a superfan" - Robert Kyncl, Warner CEO

Here's what he has to say about it:

"I've assembled a team of incredible technology talent who are working on an app where artists can connect directly with their superfans...and we're focused on making sure that artists get data on these superfans."

I thought this was the most interesting piece:

"Artists want to work with every single platform...they don't want to optimize just for one platform over another. So a solution like this for superfans has to be a cross-platform solution."

Platformless is smart.

They may attempt to get around platform exclusivity by offering the same superfan add-ons wherever you stream.

We shall see.

The app rolls out later this year.
