@solar here to support with a Follow, UpVote and Resteem-ed.
When one does things without giving much thoughts based on hear-say/hype, his staying power will be short. "Reading. Listening. Watching. Voting. Testing." - You're a believer and will be here to stay for the long run. Hope to see/hear more about your project on Steemit.
I will be starting some questions and discussions here on steem to gather a bit more research and to create the best proposal to the network. At the core of it, as pointed at in this post, im interested in supporting artists with the tools they need inorder to be independent, and also tools to build communities to support each other. I believe steem needs to put resources into broadening its community, and we need better incentives for attracting good artists to the platform if its a platform that will be usable by artists.
