I had attempted to post everyday for the rollout of the record to see if any new movement would become found for current users on the app. As of October 1st 2026 these were my findings from my TikTok Social Media Experiment:

Soo... was the experiment successful? Aboslutely not lol. This app is strange and fill with opportunists. I do see the appeal of why people come to this platform to blowup. Dude I even bought a promo for the day of my bday and it did absolutely nothing hahahhahaa.

Now there could be some factors that come into play as to why I got the results I got:

1. My music is very Niche:
Mathrock instrumental, indie, midwest emo emo band with no lyrics? Yeah.. not alot of people are gonna be into that

2. Originality:
This is an original project and original projects really take a long time to get off the ground. I'm here for the ride though

3. It needs more... something something. Like a gimmick:
Unfortunately I don't have that lol


Aside from that this PR rollout was kinda fun to do. It exercised specific skills I don't usually stretch and made me realize how much grinding an artist has to do to make it happen. And even then they still don't get the stability financially and mentally they deserve. The music industry has been very fucked and it's real. I'm glad that I'm a 9 - 5 worker doing this as a serious hobby without any attachments. It's definitely a blessing and I hope to make more of these projects in the near future.

thank you all for tuning in for the month. It was freakin fun honestly!!!
