iI feel really stupid, I put links on all my songs to my website and spotify/song store links, and really it's not worth it. I really don't care about streaming royalties and am lucky to have carved out other things I can do for income so that I can have my creative release and be free from financial influence in my artistic pursuits.

So I've made the decisions that for Newgrounds I'm not going to link all over the place to my website or spotify/etc. Just having people using these songs in their content or having a platform to RECEIVE FEEDBACK (that's so important) is the best. It really keeps me going in music.

that's right, I'm including NO links anywhere in my profile or music from now on. ONLY SONGS (and i've removed all the outbound links on my songs and profile).

I regret kinda losing it for a second there and throwing my links all over my profile etc. I deleted all the links on all my songs and the youtube video embeds, I'm just going to keep the stuff on this platform and allow people to enjoy the music and give feedback, vote, and hopefully download and use the stuff.

I do copyright the music to make sure people don't distribute it before I do, that's the one thing. I just want to be able to find the music being used, lol, and not get some copyright strike from my distributor if I release this later on. But I'm figuring out how to avoid getting people's Youtube Content ID'd.

Thanks for understanding y'all, and apprecaite all the love so much. Things have been tough but that's how artistic pursuits go, they take your time and soul but not always give money in return, but that's the beauty of it. It exists outside of the dark world of finance lol.
