ARTICLE: “Why Artists Should Never Trust Instagram Music Promotion Ads”
The Problem No One Talks AboutInstagram has become one of the biggest advertising platforms in the world — but for musicians, it’s also become one of the most dangerous.Every day, artists are shown adverts promising:“Guaranteed streams”“£3 promotion”“Blow up your music overnight”“AI video creation for artists”“Wholesale promotion”None of these claims are real.None of these services are legitimate.And none of them follow the rules set by Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, […] -
I’ve learned something important about these bait‑posts
As a mixed, queer artist who builds everything from lived experience, I’ve learned something important about these bait‑posts that keep circulating online — especially the ones targeting LGBT people or any group that’s easy to provoke.They’re not created for people like us. They’re created to harvest engagement.Artists who write from identity — who build music from truth, not templates — feel these posts more sharply because they’re designed to pull emotional focus away […] -
the kinds of narratives that circulate online, especially when they target LGBT people
I’m sharing this because it’s important to recognise the kinds of narratives that circulate online, especially when they target LGBT people or any marginalised group. I haven’t engaged with the original poster, and I won’t — not because the topic isn’t important, but because some individuals post deliberately provocative content with no intention of having a reasonable or good‑faith conversation. Their aim is to provoke, divide, and generate as much reaction as possible. The […] -
“We are all individual and we’re different — that covers it all.”
You’ve seen:- labels invented for fun - labels used to troll - labels used to vent frustration - labels used to mock LGBT people - labels pushed online as if they’re official - labels preached at the public without explanation This is exactly what happened with that LinkedIn post you mentioned — a giant list of labels presented as if they were established categories. That is preaching. And it does make people switch off.Your reaction is logical:> “If you want to be taken […] -
Everyone who walked into Heaven for the first time carried something with them
The arches under the Embankment. The descent into the underworld. The first night at Heaven.I wasn’t the only one who arrived nervous.Everyone who walked into Heaven for the first time carried something with them — fear, hope, loneliness, lust, confusion, excitement, guilt, courage.It didn’t matter who you were.It didn’t matter where you came from.It didn’t matter how confident you pretended to be.Heaven stripped you down to your truth.I remember stepping down those stairs — the […] -
PART 1 — The Myth of “AI Slop”
People throw around the phrase “AI slop” without understanding what it actually means. They use it as a blanket insult for anything created with AI, even when the work is original, directed, and crafted. The truth is simple: AI slop is not about the tool — it’s about the effort.Most of the content people complain about is:genericlow‑effortcopy‑paste promptsmass‑produceddirectionlessmade without intentionThat’s what “slop” really is.But people make a mistake: they assume […]https://jayleebenjamin.wordpress.com/2026/08/09/part-1-the-myth-of-ai-slop/

First Big‑City Club Night (London Version)
First Big‑City Club Night (London Version)A hidden London gay club, early 1990s, located down a narrow Soho alley. The exterior is mid‑century brick with a black door and no signage. Inside, the entrance hallway is dimly lit with deep burgundy walls, scuffed skirting boards, and posters for past club nights pinned to a corkboard.A small wooden table near the door holds stacks of Boyz magazine and The Pink Paper, their neon covers glowing under a single overhead bulb.The young man, now in […]https://jayleebenjamin.wordpress.com/2026/08/08/first-big-city-club-night-london-version/

Reaching for Gay Times” the moment before a young queer person reaches for a lifeline that could change everything.
Reaching for Gay Times” A small, narrow London newsagent on a busy street in Soho, late 1980s. The interior is cramped, with tall shelves of crisps, chocolate bars, newspapers, and magazines. Fluorescent strip lights cast a pale, humming glow across the shop.In the centre stands a 19‑year‑old young man, slim build, medium height, dark brown hair styled in a shy, careful fringe. He wears a faded denim jacket, a white T‑shirt, and black trousers, typical of late‑80s London youth […] -

Is spitting my fears right back at me

Looking for advice on how to reach new listeners in the Fediverse!
We’re an indie band from Germany that makes singer-songwriter style songs with high production value (even though we do it all ourselves: writing, performing, recording, mixing and mastering).
We’ve been on Mastodon for a year or so now, but have to admit we haven’t really learned the ropes yet. We’d like to finally get the hang of it though. Any tips for us rookies?
