𝚝𝚏𝚙𝚇𝙴 pt. 3

[scottgalvin]

when i started on the original version of the 𝚝𝚏𝚙𝚇𝙴 website, i had debated on if i was going to do any social media aside from using a service to upload tracks and the built in social media aspects of neocities, which is what i use to host the 𝚝𝚏𝚙𝚇𝙴 website. i made a spacehey (myspace clone) and an instagram and realized ig was perfect to convey the overall tone i was going for with 𝚝𝚏𝚙𝚇𝙴. i've not been shy on the fact that i don't consider myself a musician. with all the free services available to boost ig follows, likes and views i realized i could bump it up with these obviously fake looking engagements to further the aspect of "it's all in his head" which is the overall tone of the audio and video i put out under 𝚝𝚏𝚙𝚇𝙴. the few people i initially shared tracks with would provide feedback along the lines of "this is what i imagine it to be like in your head" and that's the best compliment i can receive for it aside from those who tell me it reminds them of their own mental health symptoms. it feels nice to be understood in that regard, it makes me feel less alone.

for some reason 𝚝𝚏𝚙𝚇𝙴.wtf gets hundreds of views a day, i do not get streams or views on my audio or video. i am definitely not getting sales on the 𝚝𝚏𝚙𝚇𝙴 shop or comments in the guestbook regularly. absolutely no clue why i get the visitors and what they even do. are they bots? perhaps. it all adds to the "what the fuck" aura i set out to achieve. you can achieve anything if you set the bar low enough.
