Changes to my Mixcloud

After being on this platform since the beginning of COVID when I got back into posting mixes, I've decided it's time to change some things here. Each month I pay Mixcloud $15 to host all of my mixes. I appreciate that the service pays royalties which allows artists and writers to earn money off of the songs I play in my mix.

During the couple of times that I've actually asked people if they wanted to subscribe to the channel, I set it for the lowest possible rate Mixcloud has, to help me offset the cost of hosting the mixes here, I've had very few people subscribe. Of the $2.99 a month that it costs to subscribe, my share of "earnings" is 18% of that. The rest goes to the artists and to Mixcloud. I am no where near being able to cover the cost of hosting here with the few subscribers I have. I mean, I have less than 300 followers here, and I appreciate each one as many are very active. $15 bucks a month isn't a lot to most but when you have a now fixed income, one has to choose their battles. This is my last show before I give up my Pro status and just have the last 10 mixes on this platform and all the rest will be deleted by Mixcloud.

All of this said, I am now converting almost all of the mixes I have posted here to subscribers only. I will post new mixes for a week or so for free but after that, listeners will need to be subscribers. There will be a select number of shows that will always be free but 99% will be subscriber only. I am sorry to have to do this but the other alternative is, as I said earlier, is to take most of the mixes off the platform. I really would rather not do that.

Regardless if you choose to support my channel here or not, just know that I do appreciate you and the fact that you did follow me here, favored a mix or 10 or even listened at all. Thank you.
