Do you know what this is? At @polvinyl we press vinyl from two types of matrix: the first is DMM and the second is lacquer. This is just the lacquer before the cutting. A beautiful, black perfectly smooth surface, it is about to land under a sapphire knife that will cut a groove in it, which is a reflection of the vibrations of the music, recorded in the studio. The result is a stamper from which we will press further vinyl.

Hi from @deadstartalk and @panwinyl we want to understand the lagorithms running under VIRAL SONGS on @soundxyz_ .

Why?

Because we don't fully understand how it works. There are very different pieces in the list with very different parameters.

What concerns us most is that the songs that are not the most viral are those with the highest sales. This means that "upvotes" and "posts" also play a role.

This means that it is possible to be high up on this list, but this does not, in practice, mean any benefits for the band/artist.

It's a wonder that people are willing to post on temta pisoneki @deadstartalk but these things happen in WEB2 too. They were hitting viral playlists in WEB2 too and getting nothing out of it.

We want to be well understood, we're not saying Sound is doing a bad job, we simply want to understand how the mechanisms work here so that artists have the best possible chance of getting owl art exposure.

We would appreciate your feedback!
