20,000 views in under 24 hours: Why I am moving on from r/LetsTalkMusic

I want to thank the thousands of you who engaged with my recent topics. Reaching over 20,000 views and 100+ comments in less than 24 hours proves there is a massive hunger for deep, professional dialogue about the soul of music.

Unfortunately, despite being a 5% Top Commenter and bringing 40 years of industry experience to the table, including my time at A&M Records and as a long term voting member of NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences), I have been permanently banned from that community. It seems that real world expertise and high engagement are being mistaken for AI or simply do not fit the current moderation filter.

I will not be dumbing down 40 years of history to fit a narrow box. I appreciate the dialogue we had. If you are an artist or industry professional who would like to continue these discussions, feel free to send me a direct message here. Stay human.
