Are you an artist or a fan?

As an artist, how about a platform that can increase your earnings rather than wait for revenue from streams. A platform where you can sell your music directly to your fans with no middlemen inside.

As a fan, how about a platform where you can support your favorite artists, help them earn more. A platform where you get discounts on tour tickets, merch and you also earn royalties just because you supported your favorite artists by buying their music NFT.

That’s what we are building at AURALS A platform that benefits both artists and fans

As an artist, I already can sell my music without a middleman. Digital via my own storefront and "analog" through CDs or download codes. And having a middleman doesn't need to be a bad thing. Bandcamp offers a lot of features while taking a pretty low cut of sales. And it provides a small but stable community of users. No web3 based service can give me that, because nobody cares to use these services.

As a fan, I can support my favourite artists in the same way I described above. And the artists that sell their stuff through the usual middlemen I can support by buying their albums in a store. That's just the reality of it.

And as someone who understands the underlying technology when it comes to stuff like that, everything web3 is an enormous waste of time, energy and resources in every single way.

I understand your point. What we are building is a game changer, no other platform in the web3 music space is offering what we are offering which is benefiting both artists and fans. Others prioritize artists more which is why hype in the web3 music space is not as much as other aspects of web3 such as domain, gaming, art and collectibles.

We are building a full web3 music e-commerce, zero middleman, just pure artists to fan connections with lots of benefits for both sides. We are bringing real life utilities to nfts unlike the digital collectible space filled with hype and zero utilities.

Aurals takes all the best parts of the music industry and puts them on the blockchain. As a platform, Aurals unites artists, promoters, managers and fans to build a new future for digital music.

You still haven't told me what those utilities would be. And your website doesn't tell me either.

> puts them on the blockchain.

You don't need a blockchain to offer anything of worth for fans or artists. That's why nobody cares about web3 apart from hype.

I did check your site, and it didn't tell me anything about this project. I guess that's par for the course when it comes to web3 projects. And I will not join the waitlist, because right now you don't have anything of worth for me or other artists.
