I know what you mean brother. Soundcloud back a few years was the shit as your stuff would actually get recognized and it felt amazing back then as the community worked together to make good shit in collabs and albums. Just like you, I've lost the capability to go on as well as I barely post at all these days. Soundcloud is dead my man and its losing people by the minute homie. I would love to see you continue making and its the same when I look at myself, but it feels like its lost and gone. I respect your decision to whatever you go but I feel the best thing to do is to either go to youtube or drop it at this point

I mainly agree with Icy. Soundcloud used to be a really positive space where everyone's hard work went appreciated, but it just sucks when minimalistic effort gets the highest praise. I know exactly how you feel. I've gone through that multiple times, on Soundcloud and off. My profile's been on a steady decline since Kendrick Lamuffet got taken down, so I really sympathize with ya. That being said, I think you should do whatever you think is right for you. If Soundcloud is getting in the way of real life, don't let it stop you from doing better things with your time and amazing mashups. I've been a big fan of you since you put Wake Me Up and Music Sound Better With You together, so if you were to keep up your incredible work, I would be very happy, but I would still have respect if you decided to finish on a high note with Nintendolution (which I can't wait for!). Whatever decision you make is the right one.

As i'm not immersed in this community, i cant really offer the best advice. But whatever you do, please keep us in the loop so we can follow where you choose to go next.

make more of these kinds of songs. it seems like you have a talent for them

saying goodbye from time,  can you provide the Link to it unless it is your personnal creation, then it's perfect the way it is

I've known you for a long time! (Ever since are Fantasy DJ days! lol) You're great at what you do! You should never quit what you like doing! Shit, how many times these suckers kick out of here for copyright claims, even though they're just mashups,(stupid idiots) and you still kept coming back! If you do decide to move on, just let me know your new hosting site so i can still follow music! :D

Hey you guys. I've used one of my emotional rips "Saying Goodbye From Time" in this important announcement because I know if I recorded it by voice, it would be an hour-long recording just to prove a point.

I'm gonna be completely honest and say that I'm going absolutely nowhere with the material I post for you guys' entertainment. Very lately, my posts have not been very successful  ever since my 2-3 month absence. The most popular mashup has to be "The Song that We Beat to Death in Twoson", which is one of my favorite pieces I've done as of late, but that's it; not even that very mix has passed 2.5k yet, or caught the attention of more people than my follower count.

I'm grateful for the love that the few of you guys have been giving me, but it seems like it's just not enough, for not counting my Beyonce/Adventure Time "shitpost", NOTHING has even hit 2k plays, which is meaning one of two things: either my fans are busy or my material nowadays is just not worth listening to.

Even worse. I gained 14 followers in this month month alone. In a whole week, 11 OF THOSE 14 FOLLOWERS HAVE WENT AND GONE. It's bad enough that even when I post content daily now since I'm no longer busy and temporarily out of a job so I can work on my albums and such, I'M STILL IN THE 1800 FOLLOWER ZONE FROM NOVEMBER. And while I put so much dedication to what I do and what I love to do, other artist (no names or disrespect) that use no effort or more memes than mashups get the followers, get the recognition, get the love. There are other artists who take their stuff seriously including me, but minimal or no percentage of acclaim goes to them, but to the memes and shitposts full of WANOs, All Stars, Shooting Stars, and Wow Wows, oh yeah! Give them all medals!

I'm not bitching or implying that I need more recognition, for that would be pigheaded and selfish, two things I am not. I'm implying that I might not have it in me anymore if I literally go nowhere. Nowadays there are more followers leaving me than notifications popping up in my feed in a single day.

A lot of things are happening for me. I'm gonna turn 21 in a couple of weeks. I'm gonna be releasing a very personal album that I'm working on that my fans will hopefully like, it will be 5 years that I've been doing mashups when October hits. My Nintendolution will most likely be DONE before the year ends! But... what if that's not good enough? What if memes are the new mashups? I'm honestly not a memeful artist; I make my work personal and serious over 80% of the time. And it's just not good enough apparently at this moment of time.

I get that a big part of doing mashups is that only the artist, have the right to release your material, it's your right to know that your material is great if you believe it is. As corny as it may sound, it couldn't be more right. But another big part is the audience. And that's the most important thing to me, making people happy, being well-known for my craft for my art. Not having to share my material on Reddit to be a success. That's where songs like "Ashley's fresher than you." and "Skull Girls' For Real" come in. But lately I've been getting by, and that might get me to the decision that I might not make it to my fifth year.

I'm not asking for pity, sympathy or more followers and reposts and all that desperado needy shit. I just need some guidance. Should I keep on mashing, sell my everything that I've mashed and turn it into memes, or just quit altogether. I need... guidance. Tell me what you guys think I should do. Please this is serious...

Sorry if I broke your train of thought or your eyesight reading this long-ass announcement, but this is seriousness coming from it and I just want you all to know that I will always love my followers and mashup artist comrades, for they listen, love, and even critique my stuff to the fullest and I couldn't be more happier. Thank you all for everything and hopefully I come back mashing and swinging. Peace, love and soul.

How long do I have at this? (Read description...)
