If the main channels of music distribution infrastructure on the internet are going to continue to enshittify themselves to death, the only logical response is to enact a digital dubplate mentality in your community both IRL and URL.

Yes!! I’m in, as in work in progress.
The age of 'art' (music, images, anything) being all about obscuring / confusing any overt meaning is dead.
We need art that says EXACTLY what it means in the most incisive, transmissible and elevating way.

Okay, i think we need an alternative to NAMM. Nothing costs money. Everything defies commercial appeal. Best of show awards to the weirdest. Sign autographs with your favorite aleatoric composers. Open bar is coffee. Afterparty is more talks then a linkup to the ISS. Call it... NERDD.
