What's up, guys? I wanted to ask how you're reacting to the recent events. What have you decided for yourselves—are you going to change your distributor or not? It's probably better not to release your albums through DistroKid after all, since you can end up dealing with unpaid royalties or delays. Honestly, it's better to switch to another distributor and just upload your albums there instead, right? What do you say? What do you think about this?

Unfortunately, major labels and corporate giants are trying to take full control of AI technology and AI music production, shutting out ordinary independent creators from releasing music and earning a living. They are pressuring platforms like YouTube, which are terrified of lawsuits, leading to strict censorship and suppressed reach for independent AI tracks. My channel metrics reflect this exact squeeze: a new YouTube channel gets virtually zero views, and even switching back to an older channel yields embarrassing results like 6 views per video. YouTube Music used to offer some traction, but even those numbers have dropped significantly. Looking ahead, it feels like they will either ban independent AI music entirely or make the rules so restrictive that it becomes impossible to profit. It is deeply demotivating. Is anyone else experiencing this drop in views and platform reach with their releases, or is it just me?

Hi I have a question about keys intitles. Imagine i chosed a key from vid iq for example meditation music, should I stick to a consistent title format like "Album Title (Meditation Music) in distrokid. And for youtube for example Meditation music|246hz healing music|For a peaceful night. Or should I let VidIQ generate random, optimized titles for each video in youtube? What works best for your channel's growth? To make sure I have this right: i want to ask whether it's okay to post your YouTube video immediately after you submit your album to DistroKid, right? Thank you
