Title: Facebook making it difficult for artists
Post by: CWazyTom on January 08, 2021, 10:54:49 PM

Facebook has been making things really difficult for artists recently. It's particularly unfortunate they're doing that during this challenging time for the industry.

I've heard a lot of complaints that people aren't actually seeing the posts of some artists because Facebook is flagging the content as unpaid advertisement.

Facebook also has software that flags covers for copyright infringement. I've even heard of artists having their own songs flagged and suppressed.

I'm sure there's lots more Facebook is doing to make things tough.

The bottom line is YouTube is becoming more and more preferable for videos (live and otherwise). If you like following your favourite artists on Facebook, I'd recommend also following them on YouTube (or Vimeo) whenever possible as that's where the video and music content is headed.

Some companies are taking this copyright thing too seriously.

I have started using Vimeo for video's that get blocked on youtube and FB they have not taken anything down like yourtube would have. Yes i pay to have the account it's not much but it makes it mine and you can do live video on Vimeo.

Like this new Christmas song O holy night youtube wouldn't allow it same on FB but Vimeo has no problem with allowing it

Facebook in general is just getting weird.
