In this episode, I discuss the crisis in music in two acts: Act I - Music is too Easy to MakeAct II - Music is too Easy to Consume...and their cumulative neg...

Rick Beato making clear what is happening on the music scene just as Cory Doctorow or Adam Conover talk about the Internet. Please remember to use frontends like Grayjay, NewPipe, Freetube or invidio.us to watch videos like these.

    I used to like Beatos videos. But honestly if anyone knows about enshittification it’s him. He has done some killer interviews the past year, no one can that away from him. But my God his other stuff has just gone down a cliff. I think it was the debut of his website that made him greedy.

      Examples of his decline?

        Compare his older videos to his more recent ones?

        I stopped watching a little while after his website debut. I didn’t make a list, sorry.

          I ain’t watching a bunch of videos of a topic that doesn’t interest me just to notice a decline in content.

          That’s why I asked.

          Two videos one good and one bad would be enough.

            I ain’t watching a bunch of his videos when I decided a year ago it wasn’t worth it, just to link them to you.

            I don’t care at all, past what I’ve already said.

            If it doesn’t interest you, and I have no interest in it, why TF would you think I should do anything?

              Well, that would have been unreasonable of my part, bro.

              Sorry, maybe I was unnecessarily rude.

              Let’s say I can pick his latest video as an example of bad stuff. Can you link a video you consider good?

                I appreciate the honesty. Maybe tomorrow I’ll check out some stuff. But really I think his good stuff recently has been his Nirvana interviews, Soundgarden interviews, and the interview with the STP guitarist who I feel bad about not remembering his name right now. If you can stand listening to Billy Corgan that’s worth a listen too. Personally that’s a tough one to sit through though.

                Older stuff, again just off the top of my tired head, I liked the video he did about voice modulation. He’s got a good one about how everything is recorded into perfect time signatures using software.

                Edit. He was a producer. So a lot of the topics about the technical side of music is pretty good. He just tends to blow up his own head though, that’s all.

                  Thanks! I’ll check out the voice modulation video, then compare it to his recent stuff.
