Yeah, that is a tough situation. Unfortunately it's the same concept that's allowing us to do what we do here. I think overall it is a good thing, but you're right, it does encourage quantity over quality to some extent.

I plan on posting more in the future about my friends' who are musicians. I don't use the term meaninglessly - they are very much so musicians. I am just hoping to have a bigger following before I do so to gain them more exposure. I think if people continue to promote actually good music on these spaces, over time it will begin to weed out what's good and bad. It is certainly a better system than how the current music industry operates, at the very least :)
