I don't know I'm not done talking about it. It's insane that I can't just uninstall Edge or Copilot. That websites require my phone number to sign up. That people share their contacts to find their friends on social media.

I wouldn't use an adblocker if ads were just banners on the side funding a website I enjoy using and want to support. Ads pop up invasively and fill my whole screen, I misclick and get warped away to another page just for trying to read an article or get a recipe.

Every app shouldn't be like every other app. Instagram didn't need reels and a shop. TikTok doesn't need a store. Instagram doesn't need to be connected to Facebook. I don't want my apps to do everything, I want a hub for a specific thing, and I'll go to that place accordingly.

I love discord, but so much information gets lost to it. I don't want to join to view things. I want to lurk on forums. I want to be a user who can log in and join a conversation by replying to a thread, even if that conversation was two days ago. I know discord has threads, it's not the same. I don't want to have to verify my account with a phone number. I understand safety and digital concerns, but I'm concerned about information like that with leaks everywhere, even with password managers.

I shouldn't have to pay subscriptions to use services and get locked out of old versions. My old disk copy of photoshop should work. I should want to upgrade eventually because I like photoshop and supporting the business. Adobe is a whole other can of worms here.

Streaming is so splintered across everything. Shows release so fast. Things don't get physical releases. I can't stream a movie I own digitally to friends because the share-screen blocks it, even though I own two digital copies, even though I own a physical copy.

I have an iPod, and I had to install a third party OS to easily put my music on it without having to tangle with iTunes. Spotify bricked hardware I purchased because they were unwillingly to upkeep it. They don't pay their artists. iTunes isn't even iTunes anymore and Apple struggles to upkeep it.

My TV shows me ads on the home screen. My dad lost access to eBook he purchased because they were digital and got revoked by the company distributing them. Hitman 1-3 only runs online most of the time. Flash died and is staying alive because people love it and made efforts to keep it up.

I have to click "not now" and can't click "no". I don't just get emails, they want to text me to purchase things online too. My windows start search bar searches online, not just my computer. Everything is blindly called an app now. Everything wants me to upload to the cloud. These are good tools! But why am I forced to use them! Why am I not allowed to own or control them?

No more!!!!! I love my iPod with so much storage and FLAC files. I love having all my fics on my harddrive. I love having USBs and backups. I love running scripts to gut suck stuff out of my Windows computer I don't want that spies on me. I love having forums. I love sending letters. I love neocities and webpages and webrings. I will not be scanning QR codes. Please hand me a physical menu. If I didn't need a smartphone for work I'd get a "dumb" phone so fast. I want things to have buttons. I want to use a mouse. I want replaceable batteries. I want the right to repair. I grew up online and I won't forget how it was!

are you making those gifs just from the yt shorts/ig reels of I AM STILL that they are posting? it doesn't even look like it bc the quality of the gifs is so good D:

If you want to talk about quality you've come to the right person! LAKSKSALKS everyone loves high quality files but sometimes I do crazy things for files that not even my friends can do. such as my paid weverse files. I always want the original quality and with screen record we don't have that, so I literally gave my email and password to someone on a forum so they can download my files from my weverse account in the original quality. this person just said "hi, I know how to download paid files from weverse using codes, do you want me to do it for you?" and I, who don't know this person, said "omg please, thank you so much for doing this for me". 😅😭 also download torrent files from suspicious websites. the list is long LKASKLAKSAS but I can give you some tips on how to always find good quality files, at least files that are free or easier to find.

try to join in exclusive forums like kpop24hrs or a harder like jpopsuki and avistaz. I had an account on jpopsuki, but maintaining an account there is very hard for me, I am someone who doesn't keep files saved on my laptop. there is a forum called "torrent invites" where some people go there and offer invitations or even exclusive forum accounts. I got a jpopsuki invitation account for a friend there. check torrent invites forum if you want an invitation to another forum! now youtube videos. to download youtube videos I use 4k video downloader. but before downloading the videos you can also try to change the format of the video to see if the quality changes too. sometimes videos in mkv format have better quality, so it's always good to check if the quality changes.

I always do that on bangtantv like bangtanbomb or the episodes videos which most of the time are always only uploaded on youtube. BUT we have some videos that are not only uploaded on yt but also on instagram and tiktok~~~~ and this is where we win heheheh~~ if a video is uploaded on these three platforms ALWAYS download it from tiktok. 99% of the time, videos on tiktok have a thousand times better quality than those on youtube and instagram. or you can also download the video on these three platforms so you can compare and see which quality is better, but I'm sure that tiktok's quality will always be the best. here's an amazing example, jin video that I giffed earlier.

first i only saw people sharing the instagram link but i went and searched if the instagram account also had a tiktok account and BAM they did 🥹 I downloaded the video from instagram and the quality was poor:

but when i download the tiktok video the quality was:

damn... this is sexy🫦

when instagram doesn't always make videos available in 1080p, most videos on tiktok are 1080p. just go and search "where to download instagram videos online" "where to download tiktok videos online" and open a website that does that and that's it.

another example, my tae and jeongguk recent gifset that you talk about here in this ask.

the quality of the video uploaded on youtube and instagram is very similar.

yt:

instagram:

but look how the quality is a thousand times better on tiktok:

🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 so beautiful that I almost got emotional LAKSKASKASKA

my advice is to always look for other platforms they may have uploaded the files to! like for example jeongguk vogue photoshoot. many people thought that the videos were only uploaded on twitter and instagram but no, they were also uploaded on facebook! always look for accounts on facebook as well. but facebook is weird… from what I understand they won't upload all the quality at the same time so sometimes it takes a while for a video to be in 1080p there. another thing, sometimes they will also change the quality lol. for example, when I downloaded jeongguk photoshoot there the highest quality available was 2k but now it only has 1080p.

now:

😭😭😭😭😭😭

now torrent files~ I don't recommend the websites I download my files from because I'm not sure they are trustworthy but as I have a good program to protect my laptop so I feel safer lakskas. for torrent files I use eztvx, kpkuang, 1lou. "are you sure" files I had to search for jung kook or jimin to find the files on some of these websites.

and now free websites where we can download high quality bangtan files are namuspromised, sharemania, soowoozoooo and ouranxingg.

there are others but I feel like these are the ones who always share high quality files.

this was me trying to explain to you guys how to always find high quality files with my bad english LAKSKSKASK I just love helping people find good quality files ♡

EDIT: I forgot to talk about vimeo but @galatariel reminded me of them too ♡ many photoshoot are uploaded there with high quality so also check vimeo when a photoshoot comes out! I downloaded most of my recent tae photoshoot there~

do you spend many of your waking hours on social media? do you feel like it's a problem? in this world of late stage capitalism, your time and attention is actively being harvested by big corporations. it's.. not good. it also just makes you feel bad!

here are some tips that have really helped me reduce the amount of time i give to these apps & get in control of my social media addiction:

1. IDENTIFY PROBLEM APPS

you probably know which apps you spend the most time on. however, looking at real data about usage is very helpful because time spent on social media is very deceiving. keep in mind which apps you spend the most time looking at and interacting with for the rest of this list.

2. TURN OFF NOTIFICATIONS

this is probably the easiest thing to do and it makes an immense difference. it's up to your discretion which notifications you want to keep on (turning on messaging notifications but turning off algorithm and interaction notifs for example) but, the most effective way to stay off problem apps is to turn off ALL notifications.

3. TURN OFF NOTIFICATION SOUNDS

i always keep my phone on silent. i understand that not all people have that privilege but, if you're able to i would highly highly recommend. it has helped me a lot with anxieties regarding waiting for notifications. i used to experienced the phantom vibrate and check my phone obsessively when nothing would happen. you can also just turn off notification sounds and vibrations for any non necessity apps if you don't want to jump to turning off all notifications.

4. CHANGE THE PLACEMENT OF PROBLEM APPS

i actually learned this trick from facebook when they changed the UI slightly so you had to be more intentional in interacting with the app. changing the layout of the apps on your phone really helps you catch yourself when you are automatically opening up apps that cost you time and attention. instead of keeping social media apps on the homescreen, keep it on a different screen, in a folder, & if possible out of the preview window for the folder.

if you want to expand on this more, you could keep a log in a notes app of every time you reached for an app that has since moved. you can even put the notes app in its place!

5. UTILIZE APP TIMERS

my experience is based on samsung app timers so i'm not sure how it differs in different makes. i really dont like my phone telling me i can't do something so i've set my tumblr timer to the highest end of my usage data (2hrs 10 minutes). another mindfulness thing that i like about using the timers is that when i'm switching between apps, my phone tells me how much time left i have (it's currently 1 hour 21 minutes, most of the 49 minutes i've spent writing this lol). i'm just a slut for data so i really like this aspect of the samsung app timer function and it's very useful besides this point.

6. DELETE APPS

okay, i know this seems drastic. but it doesn't NEED to be depending on your habitual problem apps. apps like youtube, instagram, facebook, and tumblr (to a lesser extent ime) (and probably others these are just the ones i have experience with) can pretty easily be transferred to being used exclusively on a web browser. if you use firefox it will even get rid of ads which is very important for overall sanity and for safe web browsing. one of the biggest plusses to moving from an app to a web browser is that it won't automatically play your platform's version of tiktoks. it also makes it more difficult to upload items which is a plus because it will hinder you from doing so and cut back on the loop of expecting validation from recently posted content.

opening instagram without immediately being enthralled by their endless stream of reels has made it SO much easier to control my time on the site. there are tons of plusses to transferring from app browsing to web browsing.

so on the more drastic side, if you are addicted to tiktok you maybe should just delete it. tiktok is intentionally designed so you can't use it in a web browser and can only use it in the app. i will talk more about tiktok and how evil it is later in this post.

7. MOVE DMS TO MESSAGING APPS

if a hesitation to turning off notifactions or deleting apps is from not wanting to miss conversations from online friends, i understand your pain. but, if you are serious about cutting down screen time on apps that are absolutely draining your attention, talk to your friends about switching to a different messaging app. i would suggest signal personally.

your friends may be experiencing similar problems with phone addiction and even if they aren't, if they care about you, they will make this accommodation to help you in this process. i get that this is very scary but i believe in you.

8. USE TIME ON YOUR PHONE FOR OTHER THINGS

depending on your goals for how you spend your time, there are plenty of alternatives to social media / other problem apps you may have. personally i have downloaded a bunch of books on my reading list and will divert attention from dopamine pumping social media to reading. you can find tons of free pdfs of books online and if you are used to reading on your phone, it won't be a difficult transition to read longer form narratives from short text posts.

there are free art apps, language learning apps, self care / journaling apps, meditation apps, etc. that you can use when on your phone. this may seem counterintuitive, getting more apps to battle certain app addictions. but, simply weakening the habit that brings you to the apps that you spend so much time on should help. but watch out for apps that claim they are to teach or better you but have social media built into them / other tricks that keep you glued to your screen. everyone is trying to mine your attention so be wary of all apps and the methods they use to keep you engaged.

9. DON’T BE AFRAID TO PUT YOUR PHONE BACK DOWN AFTER PICKING IT UP

idk if this is a weird one or not but, you know the feeling of going into a room to do something but you forget what so you putter around trying to remember? i feel like going on your phone when you have a phone addiction is often a state of that except the majority of the time you DON’T have a purpose to go on it. so even though it may feel silly, opening your phone only to close it right after is PERFECTLY FINE.

IN CONCLUSION, phone usage is pretty inevitable in this day and age. i've considered getting rid of my phone entirely but, between the expectation to be constantly reachable from employers to QR code menus at restaurants, it just doesn't seem reasonable to get rid of my phone completely. and i will readily admit its convenience and functionality is life changing and wonderful.

however in late stage capitalism, technology doesn't only work for you but it harvests you -- your data, your habits, your time, your attention, your wants, your needs, your thoughts. even leftist spaces with good intentions can trap you (doom scrolling). when i was becoming radicalized during the beginning of the pandemic i spent sooo much time online reading about all these horrible truths of imperialism, colonization, and capitalism, and i felt it was my duty to share these horrors with other people to radicalize them. but it was so unhealthy, especially when shit hit the fan (which it was like constantly doing) because everyone was posting about the horrors and it felt utterly inescapable.

after following some of these steps (which i did in stages over the course of a few years), my relationship with social media has improved greatly and my mental health is actually significantly better. all of this is based on personal experience and observation and this post is specifically for people who want to cut down on phone usage, it's not supposed to be a preachy post that's telling people they spend too much time on their phone.

it's also nowhere near complete. it doesn't tackle addictions to games on phones nor the notorious tiktok. i said i would talk about it later and here it is. i have a chalkboard in my kitchen and all it has written on it is "tiktok is the devil". i have never seen such a commonly used app that has such a degrading effect on all of its users. and it set a precedent to all other social media apps for autoplaying videos that demand user engagement. i was on tiktok for a little less than a year and the way that it would sap anywhere from 20 minutes to over 3 hours of my time when i told myself i'd only watch a few videos was insane. as an aspiring creator i felt that i needed to hop on it to get recognition but now, i don't see it as anything more than a tarpit to trap as many people as possible in its dopamine rich algorithm. but whatever, that's just my little rant. as a social experiment i think it's fascinating lol and i for the creators it's benefited im very happy for them.

anywayy, i hope this helps someone if it gets any attention at all lol. remember no one can make the decision of how you spend your time on or offline but you. not some stranger on the internet, not corporations, no one. you are in control of your time (well besides the whole having to work most of your waking hours to survive but that's what communism is for yayy).

Yvette Heiser -How to go viral with your photography? 

Social media is booming and reaching its highest peak these days. These indispensable tools provide various opportunities for marketing, promotions, showcasing talents, etc. With millions of images and videos uploaded daily across various platforms, standing out from this digital noise can be an extremely daunting task. But since it is not an impossible thing to do. With the right strategies and approach, photographers can increase their chances of going viral and achieving widespread recognition for their artistry.

Where to start?

Social media platforms offer photographers a global stage to exhibit their work and engage with a diverse audience. With platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube boasting billions of active users, entering into these networks can significantly amplify your reach and visibility.

1. Choose the Right Platform

Selecting the appropriate platform to showcase your photography is crucial. While Instagram is renowned for its visual-centric nature and massive user base, other platforms like Pinterest and TikTok cater to different demographics and content formats. Take a minute and look at Yvette Heiser - 4 Best Experts Tips in Photography, which willprovide expert advice to get started with photography. Understanding your target audience and the unique features of each platform will help you tailor your content effectively.

2. Invest in Video Content

While photography remains the primary medium for visual storytelling, incorporating video content into your social media strategy can enhance engagement and virality. Platforms like Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube offer opportunities to create short, captivating videos that showcase your creative process, behind-the-scenes footage, or tutorials. By leveraging the dynamic nature of video, photographers can capture the attention of viewers and increase their chances of going viral.

3. Cultivate Authenticity

Share personal stories, insights into your creative journey, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of your photography process. By showcasing the person behind the lens, you humanize your brand and invite viewers to connect on a deeper level. Authenticity resonates with audiences and increases the likelihood of your content being shared virally. Watch Yvette Heiser Texas – New dynamics of capturing photographs to get an idea of utilizing new angles and perspectives in photography.

4. Utilize the Power of Hashtags

Hashtags are crucial in enhancing the discoverability and reach of your photography content on social media platforms. Research and utilize relevant hashtags that align with your niche, style, and target audience. Experiment with trending hashtags, location-based tags, and branded hashtags to expand your reach and attract a broader audience. Effective hashtag usage can significantly boost the visibility and virality of your posts.

5. Foster Engagement and Consistency

Post high-quality content that aligns with your brand and resonates with your audience regularly. Respond to comments, engage with other users' content, and participate in relevant communities and discussions. By fostering meaningful connections and engaging with your audience, you create a supportive community that organically shares and promotes your content.

Bottom line 

While the path to viral success may be challenging, the rewards of widespread recognition and acclaim for your artistry make the journey worthwhile. With dedication, innovation, and a dash of creativity, photographers can elevate their work to viral status and make a lasting impact in the digital era.

i'm gonna share an opinion that a lot of people are going to dislike but, I don't care as it's my blog and I can say what I want. I think that things like Tiktok, YouTube shorts, Facebook Reels etc are ruining movies.

I say this with the example of how over the past month that I can confidantly say that I've probably seen most, if not all, of Deadpool & Wolverine just through Facebook Reels. This is a real problem to me, especially the ones that are clearly people recording sections of the movie when they went and saw it in theaters like yes, that is a form of movie piracy.

I'd also honestly hate to be in a movie theater experience where that happens, just people recording the movie on their phones for content that isn't really theirs. That's another thing that bothers me about creators that make that kind of content and I have no problem saying that I don't think that they deserve to have as many like followers, or whatever they use, because it's not like they're making original content when they're just uploading clips of movies.

Now, of course, people are going to say to just scroll past them and yes, I do but, each one does auto play so it's not like scrolling past really does anything when I'm going to see part of it anyway.

Smaller mini rant using my Deadpool and Wolverine example from earlier is that the Deadpool fandom is toxic af. I can't tell you how many time in the comments of clips of Deadpool & Wolverine do I see a person share their opinion of they think the movie isn't that funny or they don't care for the 4th wall breaking and so on and the rest of the fandom just loses their mind when they see other people not like the same thing they do and I think that's really stupid behavior that isn't really going to bring more people into the fandom.

Facebook reel I saw yesterday that was kind of like hm, that's unfortunate but unsurprising.

This guy was talking about how his wife had just left her job because she hated it, and it was fine because he was making enough money to support them with ad revenue from social media, but the very next day he was demonetized under accusations of stealing and reposting his own videos.

Reposting is RAMPANT on all of the video sites and a lot of content creators have talked about how there are multiple dupes of their account recording and reposting their content. The price of fame, I guess.

I bet it is pretty difficult to prove you're the original account even with upload time stamps in the server's database, and I suspect a lot of the moderation is done algorithmically instead of by real people. A real person could easily check time stamps and look for videos that had been flipped to try to hide it from Algo (one thing I see a lot) or another one I've been seeing is messing with the audio so instead of it sounding like Aaaaaaaa. it's like ~aaAAaaAAaaAA~ or aa aa aa aa.

It makes me annoyed because That Guy has brought up the fact that I'm not a content creator when he was ranting about me refusing to work (which is untrue but I do have to closely examine every job opportunity and determine if I can physically do it and most I can't, like the meat grinder job at the grocery store would require 8 hours on my feet and I can't do that). I'm not a content creator because I don't have the charisma or content, my interests are niche, someone's already doing exactly what I would be doing with a better camera and more charisma even though they do a lot of things way differently than I would, and demonetization can happen at the drop of a pin, but literally any job can be like that. You can be employed one day and unemployed the next for any reason no matter what you're doing.

Is blogging still relevant in the age of TikToks and Instagram?

What is Blog?

Today's generation does not know what blogging is. Blogging is a method to express something that we are interested in or provide an understanding of what we want to convey to a large audience. In the era of globalization as we see it, blogging nowadays has almost disappeared among the teenagers. Blogging is now used to advance and promote business out there, including giving a review about a business services that is now growing rapidly or slowly.

(Artem Minaev, 2023)

One of the reasons why blogging is now decreasing among teenagers is because there are 2 applications that are now increasing with the popularity of users reaching hundreds of millions, namely Instagram and Tiktok. Instagram is an application where users can share videos and photos with friends and can comment on each uploaded photo and video reels. The function of Instagram is not very different compared to Facebook and Twitter. Tiktok is also a new application that has the same purpose as the Instagram application. The only difference is the way each application displays the media uploaded by the user. (Verge G. Kopytoff, 2011)

How do we want to maintain blogging in this day and age where it is getting swallowed up by the times? Let's discuss how to keep the blogging community among younger age more competitive with Instagram and Tiktok users.

Find a community with same interests

Every blogger has his own interests in the field of writing. In this way, able to find a community that has the same interests with each other. In addition, in a community that is able to provide a variety of opinions about the ideology that each blogger wants to convey. A very large community of bloggers can provide benefits to blog readers who want to know something they are looking for. Each writer has his own creativity to attract the interest of the readers by arranging pictures and visuals on the blog page to make it more engaging and visually appealing. Producing a well researched, informative and engaging blog posts will offer a unique value to your audiences.

Promote Blog on social media

Social media is used by most teenagers. You already knew that. Almost everyone does since there have been enough trend stories published about it. You must put forth the effort to promote your material if you want people to find it. You must adapt your promotion strategy to meet people where they are if you want them to find what you're attempting to reach. Social media is what most universities mean by that. Do not simply distribute the content and leave it at that. Pay attention to how people react. You may receive some comments that are not made on your blog but rather on one of your social media channels. The same laws are in effect. React and engage. (kristen Hicks, 2016)

Build a content about current trending among teenagers

If you want to make sure that your blog remains current, it is imperative that you keep up with industry trends. It's critical to keep up with breaking news, new technological developments, and shifting consumer trends. The following are a few methods for following market trends such as follow influencers and industry experts on social media. On sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram, follow influencers and industry experts. This will enable you to interact with people in your field and remain up to date on the most recent news and trends.

Overall, there are endless benefits to having students blog in the classroom. Blogging is a great way to encourage students to express their ideas, be creative, develop confidence in writing, to communicate and collaborate with peers and the teacher. Blogging helps students to work on their online presence and become reflective in their learning as well (Fernando, 2023). Sometimes it might be difficult to get kids to start blogging because they may perceive it as being intimidating or quite different from writing on paper. Students, however, tend to feel more at ease and look forward to the experience once you explain the rationale for utilizing blogs, how students will be evaluated, and convince them that it is simply a different way of presenting material that can be done anywhere using their device.

Top Platforms for Music Video Distribution Worldwide: A Guide for Indie Artists

In today’s music landscape, music video distribution worldwide has become a key pathway for independent artists aiming to reach global audiences without needing a major label’s resources. With the right platforms, artists can instantly share their work internationally, building a fanbase from diverse locations and maximizing their exposure. Choosing the right distribution platform is essential for artists who want their music videos to make an impact, as each platform offers unique advantages that can help reach target audiences more effectively. From giants like YouTube and Instagram to niche and region-specific sites, understanding where to upload can make a significant difference. This guide explores the top global platforms and how artists can leverage each to grow their presence, gain traction, and even generate income from their music videos across borders.

1. YouTube: The Dominant Platform for Global Music Video Distribution

For nearly two decades, YouTube has been the top choice for music video distribution worldwide. Its global user base, accessibility, and monetization options make it an essential platform for any artist. YouTube’s algorithm recommends content based on viewer preferences, allowing artists to reach new audiences who might not have found their music otherwise.

One of the platform’s strengths is its monetization options, allowing artists to earn ad revenue based on views. Additionally, the platform’s analytics offer insight into viewer demographics, location, and engagement, enabling artists to understand where their music resonates most. Artists can also use tools like YouTube Premieres to create live events around new releases, engaging fans with countdowns and real-time interaction.

2. Vevo: High-Quality Streaming with a Global Reach

Vevo is known for its premium streaming quality and is often regarded as a more curated alternative to YouTube. It partners with YouTube to provide high-quality video streaming, with Vevo videos often appearing prominently on YouTube search results. For artists who prioritize professional-grade production and seek more polished presentation, Vevo can provide a platform that appeals to both fans and industry professionals.

Vevo has also established partnerships with platforms like Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV, allowing artists to expand beyond traditional streaming sites and reach fans on connected TVs, which is an increasingly popular medium for watching music videos. By distributing on Vevo, indie artists can reach a broader demographic, gaining exposure on a professional platform that emphasizes quality and global accessibility.

3. Social Media Platforms: Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok

Social media platforms have reshaped music video distribution worldwide by providing direct-to-fan access and encouraging shareable, bite-sized video formats. Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok each offer unique ways to share content, promote new releases, and engage fans.

Instagram: Through IGTV, Reels, and Stories, Instagram allows artists to create a variety of video formats that cater to different fan engagement levels. Short snippets on Reels or Stories can capture fan interest, driving them to watch full videos on platforms like YouTube.

Facebook: With Facebook Watch and video post options, artists can reach diverse age groups. Facebook’s targeted advertising options also allow artists to run ads tailored to specific demographics, expanding their reach and attracting new fans.

TikTok: With TikTok’s short-form video focus, artists have a unique opportunity to go viral. TikTok is known for its music-driven culture, making it an ideal platform for promoting music video clips that can attract viewers to longer versions on YouTube or other platforms. TikTok's algorithm also promotes videos based on engagement rather than follower count, giving emerging artists a chance to gain substantial visibility quickly.

4. Vimeo: A Platform for Niche and Independent Audiences

While Vimeo isn’t as popular as YouTube for music video distribution, it has a reputation for high-quality content and caters to a more niche audience. Vimeo’s platform attracts independent creators, filmmakers, and musicians who value a community-driven environment that emphasizes creativity and quality over mass appeal.

Vimeo’s clean, ad-free environment allows artists to present their work without interruptions, offering an elevated viewer experience. It also provides an On Demand feature where artists can monetize their content directly by offering it for purchase or rent, making it suitable for artists who want more control over their content. Additionally, Vimeo’s audience tends to be more supportive of indie artists, making it a good platform for building a loyal fanbase.

5. Regional Platforms: Expanding Reach to Targeted Markets

In addition to mainstream platforms, regional sites are crucial for artists seeking music video distribution worldwide with a focus on specific markets. Platforms like Tencent Video in China, JioSaavn in India, and VK in Russia allow artists to connect with audiences in particular countries, often where YouTube and Facebook have limited influence.

Tencent Video (China): With millions of active users, Tencent Video offers an entry point into the Chinese market, which has a strong demand for music content. Artists can collaborate with local distributors or music services to navigate the platform’s regulations and reach Chinese audiences.

JioSaavn (India): For artists interested in the rapidly expanding Indian market, JioSaavn combines music streaming with video capabilities, offering visibility in one of the world’s most populous countries. Additionally, India’s multilingual audience presents an opportunity to experiment with content in different languages, appealing to varied demographic segments.

VK (Russia): VK is Russia’s most popular social network, with features similar to Facebook, and is commonly used for video sharing. Artists can distribute music videos here to reach Russian audiences and build a presence in Eastern Europe, an often overlooked market with growing digital engagement.

6. Apple Music and Spotify: Emerging Video Options

While Apple Music and Spotify are primarily known for music streaming, both platforms are increasingly experimenting with video content, providing new ways for music video distribution worldwide. Apple Music has integrated music videos and exclusive content, giving artists an option to share high-quality videos with subscribers. Spotify has also introduced features like Canvas, which allows artists to loop short videos as visual backdrops to their songs.

While these platforms don’t yet rival YouTube or TikTok for music video distribution, they have the advantage of built-in audiences dedicated to music, making them a great addition to any global distribution strategy. Artists who are already streaming their music on these platforms can offer video content to enhance their presence and provide a more immersive experience.

Choosing the Right Platforms for Your Audience

Each platform offers distinct benefits, so it’s important for artists to consider their unique goals and audience when choosing where to distribute their music videos. While YouTube provides broad reach, regional platforms might offer more targeted visibility, and social media can amplify viral potential. A combination of these platforms often yields the best results, as it allows artists to reach fans worldwide while focusing on core demographics in specific areas.

Conclusion:

In today’s digital era, music video distribution worldwide offers unparalleled opportunities for independent artists to reach audiences far beyond their local scenes. By carefully selecting platforms that align with their artistic goals and audience preferences, musicians can maximize their visibility and impact on a global scale. Whether it’s using YouTube’s extensive reach, TikTok’s viral potential, or regional platforms to break into specific markets, the right mix of platforms empowers artists to share their music with the world. For those ready to take their careers to the next level, mastering these distribution platforms is key to building a global fanbase and sustaining long-term success.

I don’t know how this will come across but it seems to me like going to the movie theater is something people don’t care all that much about when they do it. What I mean is, you know how before the main movie starts that a little text blurb pops up saying something along the lines of “for the sake of the filmmakers, please silence your phones”. Now, because of recent things I have been seeing in places like Facebook Reels and YouTube Shorts, I would say that perhaps they need to add something about putting ones phone away or turning it off completely.

I can not tell you how many times now when I scrolls Facebook Reels or YouTube Shorts that I see clips of the movie Black Adam that I can tell are people recording portions of the movie on their phone when they’ve seen the movie in theaters. I don’t know if people know this, but even if it is short parts of the movie, it is still piracy and the fact that you’re uploading this clips online is like admitting to doing it. I don’t watch the clips of Black Adam when they pop up, I just keep scrolling but I feel like at this point, if someone took all the clips, downloaded them and spliced them together in video editing software, you would have most, if not, all of Black Adam...in varying quality of course.
