I’d go for moving to a time of speech prior to the above abominable act and others that have subsequently compounded it, that act has been used to prosecute many anti-establishment, peace loving, leftist people, you may even define them as progressives.
I just wish the model would download! Had no luck all day.
Maybe it deserves another thread or perhaps in PM, but I am curious if YT algorithms have affected you and therefore influenced your decision. Only asking because I follow a few content creators in YT and they have expressed some frustration with the algorithm of YT killing their channels.
Hi Alex, I feel my channel performs ok. I often get better stats on video views than bigger, even much bigger, channels in this niche. Actually, YouTube does not care that much about subscriber numbers, and many larger, older channels have lots of ‘dead’ subs: people who never unsubscribed but have moved on.
Views in this niche for all YouTubers seem down hugely compared to the pandemic era when I started. Look t the views on Jakob Haq or The Sound Test Room’s recent vids - they are a shadow of what they were a few years ago. I have not got the information I would need, though, to judge whether that is due to less interest in the niche or due to changes in the algo. I suspect it is due to both. The main problem, apart from all that, which channels like ours face is simply that the iOS niche itself is too small to be properly compensated from ad revenue. Many viewers watching behind ad blockers does not help either. YouTube ad revenue is tiny so it only adds up if videos get a lot of views. In an obscure niche like this, that is just not possible due to limited potential audience size. That’s why myself and some others harp on about the importance of Patreon.
The activity levels on this forum are down massively, so that would suggest some loss of interest in iOS music production. People talk about mobile music as the future. I am not so sure about that. I haven’t spoken to devs about this, but if app sales are down heavily compared to a few years ago, that would be the main indicator of loss of interest. I don’t know if app sales are down, I suspect they are. But that could also be due to more competition.
On YouTube though, it is also a fact that the algorithm will push the most ‘engaging’ stuff to people’s home page. Many people no longer check their ‘Subscriptions’ page, they just go with what the algorithm presents to them on the home page. If people are regularly viewing other content over iOS music production content, the home page will eventually stop showing that iOS content to them. All YouTube cares about is maximizing time viewers spent on the site, as this maximizes ad revenue. They will push whatever content achieves that goal and will suppress the reach of content that doesn’t. It is not just viewers who get manipulated by the algorithm, it is also creators. YouTube incentivizes, whether from viewers or creators, whatever behavior is in YouTube’s best interest. It’s understandable, from their shareholder perspective, but I don’t like being part of that.
In summary, I think that difficulty sustaining our channels likely reflects both a loss of interest in the niche and some algorithmic decisions by YouTube, but I think my channel is faring ok or even relatively well with the algorithm compared to similar channels in the same niche.
Regarding apps and sales in general...
Those of us who have been 'in the game' for a longer time start to have a pretty complete 'tool box' thus the real need for new apps is not there like it used to be say 3-4 years back when the toolboxes ware still being assembled.
Most new apps are more or less some form of re-packaging or re-skinning of existing functionality with new labels.
Less is more, trying shortcut the learning process by constantly buying new apps leads nowhere...
Very true Samu - my own interest in new apps is certainly diminished compared to a few years ago. Few are really doing anything very novel or needed, or making much meaningful use of the touch screen. It’s ok, it’s a sign of the ecosystem maturing. If anyone on desktop was trying to buy everything that came out, their peers would think they must be absolutely bonkers, and they’d be right.
This is what I feel is still happening on iOS. Some seem to still buy all apps to support the developers thinking that they will save the entire platform by faking a demand for new apps by artificial fertilization called 'support buying'.
There are some nice new apps in the pipe which I know I'll be getting one way or the other...
Agreed.
The platform needs a different approach now tht the apps
have matured to the level of desktop apps with caveats.
One can only collect so many apps.
Thanks for taking the time to share that insight. I didn’t realize it was like this.
Personally I've set a yearly limit on app spendings (for this year it's max $600 and I'm currently slightly bellow $350 with a few months remaining).
Latest purchases are Quanta 2, Discovery, OB-Xd V3 and TB Equalizer Pro and Crack (the plug-in, no substance abuse here)...
...prior to that the annual sub for LogicPro for iPad. I've also squeezed in XVox, Trash 3, Two Gadgets, TeraPro Rings IAPs and a few smaller ones...
I'm still doing my 'app cleanup' and re-visiting older apps on a regular basis and reducing the installed app-flora keeping the cream of the crop
It may sound like a broken record but apps such as Drambo & Mela 5 keep the real need to get new apps under control.
Last year saw me buying hardware over apps
and this year I've spent even less.
I've spent much more time designing in
dRambo and now that I've combined
dRambo, Loopy Pro and MixBox
I can simply create whatever comes to mind.
This is something I need to on my iPads
which is a good clean up, clear out.
Agreed
I don't use Mela 5, I still have Mela 3
however whenever I need to go deep
I almost always turn to dRambo
I was tempted recently by Kkevgrands OneShot
until I started rummaging through
the drum sounds that I already have.
I will get OneShot eventually but once again
dRambo and third party samples
from my personal sample library filled that gap.
I have enough really good quality apps
in my toolbox and as an Artist
I have more than enough now.
I can use them at a professional level because
stability has improved right across the board on the iOS platform.

Have you listened to or watched any of the podcasts. They have the always sunny podcast, which goes by episode but goes off on many tangents as well. They started filming each episode after the first dozen or so. Funny stuff.
Bleass App IAP Sale Update!

No need to apologise, and duplicate links are really not a problem - you do a great job
I understand completely.
My „other side of the world comment“ was really just a description of a feeling. I sometimes miss the mornings where I’d wake up to another lengthy gavinski tutorial I’d watch coffee in hand thinking about the possibilities of an app and engaging in the comments. And it feels like this is gone somehow. Hearing your cool experimental music pieces while you explain something special in depth always was inspiring.
I know you still post on YouTube and I always make sure to watch and like.
And again I completely understand your decision and fully support your patreon move and I can’t even think why anybody would feel entitled to criticise your decision. I was rather surprised that somebody on here honestly believed you owe them an explanation as to why you chose to put giveaways in your patreon.
I hope the payout of patreon is at least close to the value your work has for me and this community.
I couldn’t help but notice another „thanks to gav“ by Gustav scholda in his latest App Updates. That you have that kind of impact with your honest and kind ways always encouraged me to contact developers to tell them my excitement about their work and also giving opinions about ideas for improvement. And for that especially I for once wanted to thank you.
Oh and as an example: I think I wrote Gustav that’d be great to have an adsr modulator once and now his apps have it and I can use it. Not to think I had anything to do with the idea by itself but I still feel like I’m part of the audio world thanks to that.
For the twitter thing: you do you, but thanks for your explanation still.
I hope your endeavors will become more than self sustaining. it would be a very dark day for the community if you weren’t doing your content anymore.
Poppa didn’t apologise, stop being such a suck up 😁😂
