how not to market yourself

[deadly_habit]

log into email first thing i see at top of my inbox


seriously do people think this actually works?

soundcloud unsolicited spammer name and shame thread?

[Siderealdb]

The worst is still dudes commenting on your track saying nothing other than look at my tunes. Then you look at your dashboard and see that they've done this to everyone on your friends list.

one of the reasons i dislike soundcloud, shame since some group of people always manage to come along and fuck up good services

[Echoi]

You know you can switch those emails off in the settings section of soundcloud right?

I was pretty much at the end of my tether when i found that option

[stevemac]

I think someone mentioned this before somewhere as well, but another thing I don't like about soundcloud is that you can't get rid of the waveform view - so many people just skip everything and get to the drop because they can see where it is!

Im gonna do a quick search for "Mr Fantastic" and mute him mwahahahahhaaaaaaaa

it's not so much the email as i actually do get sent some actual private tracks like to me and a small handful of people for example
it's the blatent spamming from someone i've never conversed with on here, aim, on there etc or followed or left any comments before
it's obvious someone just datamined for accounts and spams em to hell
think it's long overdue that since so many of us use soundcloud and receive these to name and shame so we can start like the spam bot list on here, but for who to mute on sc

Tbh im not that fussed about people sharing tracks, its the impersonal pm'ing that REALLY bugs me

"Hey buddy, i hope you're having a smashing day, can you take 5 minutes of it to listen to my... LATEST BANGER?" Which has clearly been sent to 1000 others

Thats instant mutage in my books

But yea im all up for naming and shaming these turds

[Depone]

Name and shame spammers? Sounds good to me. Ill start. Cottonmouth

I occasionally use the share private track function when I've made a track I'm particularly proud of but I won't send it to more than 10 people because everyone I put on the list is someone I really respect who I genuinely really value the opinion of. Hope people don't mind that kind of thing.

Do you know them/talk to them?
I receive all of this shit in my inbox because people share their tracks to me. I don't listen to any of it.

If Kev Willow spams me one more time with his shitty ep.....

I agree. Especially in such a personal genre, it makes sense to go for that method and actually TALK to the person you want to share your music with instead of just mass spamming and hoping the numbers will count for something.

Exactly

I got one about 6 months ago saying, "hey, ive just checked out your beats and we have amazingly similar styles, i cant beleive it, you should check mine out and see what you think".

I was instantly doubting it, but gave the benefit of the doubt...

low and behold our styles were the complete fucking oposite of each other and im sure quite a lot of people got that same message aswell.


Total underhand tactics at trying to massage egos and boost your own play counter, its sickening.

I make it my mission never to listen to the tracks that get spammed at me

[lodestone]

i also dislike spammers that follow you without checking out anything you did. get their plays & comments then peace. it's not like the condom broke....we can spoon for a lil bit.
