Rant incoming (:
I basically use Youtube for everything; I have a Soundcloud, but I only put up WIPs and troll project out there; Youtube is where I promote my stuff. Basically, if it weren't for youtube, I would have never found out about Brony music in the first place, and that's where I find all the new stuff anyway. So the way I see it, Youtube is the easiest way for people to find your music; of course, this doesn't mean that you can put up anything you want on Youtube and get a load of subs; when your song gets on EqD, it doesn't have to mean anything, it can give you a boost of let's say, 30-50 subs, but if it's amazing, and it gets featured on EqD, then people will like it, subscribe, share it around, so it's not just about appearing on the website, people need to like your stuff aswell.
I can't help but feel that people believe Youtube is just a goldmine where you get 4000 subs in no time with 5 songs that get featured on EqD; it doesn't work like this at all. The reason I don't have a load of subs is easy; my music isn't good enough, but I keep striving to improve, hopefully one day, I'll be decent (: A lot of musicians are obsessed with their subscriber and view counts..I can't say I don't care because that would be a stupid thing to say, I do check it out regularly, but don't you think it's more important to satisfy your current subs and keep them watching your videos/listening to your songs? If your stuff is well made, people who search around for brony music (was one of them) will find it in the related videos, listen, and if it's good, subscribe and possibly comment, so Youtube is nothing to be scared from and it's not a goldmine of popularity; it's just a place with more users, which is a double-edged sword; you're gonna get more feedback, but possibly less-quality feedback, beacuse it's not a music-oriented website.
Rant ended (:
Cheers
