Daily Doug Reaction

I was suggesting that he might diversify, but of course time is an issue and it's up to him to do he he wants. If he's having fun, keep at it.

I wanted him to do more adventurous and deep dives, but I do grasp what's he doing. I was suggesting that he might try some different things and approaches. Of course that's up to him, but one person here has had contact with him. I don't know how many models and platforms he has considered. For instance, I suggested a more "serious" podcast about music (he needn't just do reaction type stuff). He could also do things like ask his youtube viewers to suggest the most challenging, complex and adventurous music they know, do twitter polls on that. I don't know if he has a reddit sub where he also interacts with people or how connected he is across various platforms (twitter, instragram, youtube, facebook, maybe TikTok....) He could diversify if he wants to (I guess this is just a side-line and no one has all the time in the world, but he might get bored and want new challenges).

I haven't done my podcast yet, but I am nowhere near approaching expert status in anything, nor do I have a doctorate (which can sound good when you want people to take you seriously) or interesting CV, engaging personality, charm or charisma. Mine likely would just be another layman (lameman) podcast.

He could also do "bonus" youtube content on music that is more in his wheelhouse -- like classical music. I would imagine that some of his listeners would find that interesting, and of course that could lead to a wider audience.

Most content creators who make some money out of it that I know use Patreon.

Thanks, Pedro. I've thought about doing film and the like, and in that regard I have very much thought of you, although I am not nearly as immersed in that world as I once was, but doing one on progressive music would be very interesting. Important thing is to try, even if it doesn't work out that well in the end. It's sad that at the forums I belonged to before this I had several people asking me to help create content and work on projects together, but I mostly chickened out (a lack of self-confidence, some social anxiety issues, coupled with laziness -- have met some truly creative people). Fear is the mind killer. Good thing about doing a PA related one is that we have some built in audience here who would check us out, while not being officially affiliated with or sponsored by PA.

I've long been interested in the interconnections between the arts (and my interest in philosophy, sociology...), and I think we could tie in progressive and art music with "progressive" and art filmmaking. I'd like to do some audio-visual "essays". My wife was suggesting I try reaction videos some time ago, but I told her before that I am not interested in such stuff (most of which is incredibly shallow and can be too exhibitionist to me).

I'd probably want to start approaching it from certain ideological angles.

Sorry missing your earlier response. Thanks! Will listen to it. Glad to see he has done Doug's choice.

It sure as hell is. Any over reaction on the part of the left is deemed to be part of the cancel culture phenomenon. Especially when such reactions are not done out of a sense of outrage but simply because such reactions are the "in thing" at the moment. And I'm as left leaning as one can get, so I know of what I speak.

No one has cancelled anyone. Now, if I heard Doug was cancelled for only getting a degree in studying Western Classical music, that would be a cancel culture story if ever there was one.

I tried to cancel Pete Pardo from The Progressive Aspect. Does that count?

He is currently streaming live reaction to Gentle Giant~Free Hand (Steven Wilson Remix Version), the whole album....Very cool!!

Genesis~One For the Vine...........Great reaction to a song he had not heard before, following along with some sheet music. Lots of cool twists and turns in this one. Very enjoyable!
