My apologies if my post made it sound like others weren't accomplishing the same. It was not my intention - more a reflection on what I was hoping to achieve.

Apologies also if Spotify is a hurdle. I once posted on Soundcloud but it felt like I was giving away free content. This is ridiculous on its face given how little streaming services pay their artists.

Anyway, thanks for your reply and I wish you good luck in the music you are making.
