    Thanks for your post @bluescat

    This kind of sharing (your own not so good experience with a product: in this case the SSD) is very valuable.

     

    And this is exactly the kind of thing that is being censored for big advertisers at two of the biggest forums in this business.

    One of our members is the former editor of a major music publication who shared his story with me, and I can tell you my story directly of that occurring to a site owner — who I knew more than 10 years at that point — who thought that because I’m a marketing professional that I would understand those practices as he told me that negative posting against his paying forum sponsors was not okay at his forum. I suppose that experience was likely the moment where I felt a strong desire to create what became LinkedMusicians.

    We’re actually an EastWest affiliate partner and one of our moderators just posted a critical/negative experience with that developer and he knows that our values are to respect those who do so and to encourage the sharing of honest experiences (positive and negative), even to the point where he shared his own experience. That would not happen at two of the biggest forums in this industry. But our first priority is to music creators and ensuring honest conversations.
