According to Midia Research, 25% of artists now upload their songs directly to social media platforms, bypassing labels and streaming services.
"Artist's royalty expectations are already so low that this is no longer a pain point for them. Instead, they are becoming critical of streaming’s ability to further their careers, focussing on the medium’s closed door between them and their fans"
If you're trying to grow a fanbase, build community and get paid, Spotify has never been less important than it is today.

Correction - whenever you comment on a non V4V podcast it will be posted to Nostr by default and you can't choose not to. You do get the choice with Boosts though. We will revisit this soon to give people the choice.

Did your library disappear just once after updating to version 1.1 or has it happened multiple times? I'm sure you know this, but if you go to Settings > Library > Reset Library Cache it restores your library.

It depends on which client you are using, but if you log into another Nostr client with your keypair that you generated in Fountain, you will most likely see all posts from the users you follow on Nostr (not just their audio posts).

Fountain 1.1 with #nostr is now live on iOS and Android!
Why Nostr?
We regularly hear from both listeners and podcasters that the social features in Fountain are a great way to discover content that's worth listening to.
When you support a podcast, or comment on an episode, your message is surfaced to your followers in the Fountain home feed and anyone that sees these can add the content to their library.
But this came with a few problems. When you first start using Fountain you wouldn't have any followers so your posts wouldn't get seen. If you wanted to share something you were listening to, you had to choose between leaving a comment on Fountain, or sharing on another social platform.
Today we are excited to announce a massive update to Fountain that solves these problems with Nostr:
- You can bring your existing profile and followers to Fountain
- Your boosts and comments will be surfaced in other Nostr clients
- Posts shared from other Nostr clients relating to audio will appear in your feed
- Conversation and interactions now flow freely across multiple apps
