A shame this comic about twitter is only available there, but it's a really relatable read and an exact description of the pipeline I took off the site. thanks to @tv-ma for sharing it with me.
That platform absolutely holds a lot of artists I know hostage with the feeling that if you were to exit, your opportunities would stay on the site. But after a certain point of making yourself known, I don't think they do. The recent banning of outside links was the most blatant push towards that I've seen. If you leave here, you ain't taking shit with you.
In a few months, I'll be releasing my first album without a twitter. I'll let people know how it goes, and I'm really excited because I'm almost certain I'm going to find out it was not that important for me to have one. Everywhere else I am right now, it's because I actually want to be there, and that feels pretty good.
