Thank you Wao for your encouraging words.
Much appreciated.

I certainly won't spend a lot of time and energy on advertising, but not advertising at all seems to me to be the wrong way to be heard at least a little.
But like you said, there are millions (the latest figures from 2023 talk about 120000 new songs per day on Spotify) to compete with, and even if there is a LOT of AI-generated crap out there these days, there are still too many to get heard.
