Hello all,
When we started the Mediafeeder project we had an extensive plan of action and a strong belief in our primary purpose. This is still 100% true, but our chosen path has been littered with many roadblocks which have slowed us down considerably.

Facebook frustrations
Facebook has been an excellent platform to raise the awareness of our project and the international artists and bands we exist to support, Sadly, their latest policy shift is one which punishes our page for posting non-original content! The vast majority of the videos we publish are the result of direct requests and we will continue to operate the Mediafeeder Facebook page exactly as we always have done, despite the constantly changing landscape of the platform and the influx of spurious claims from some "rights" management companies which are actively working against independent performers being promoted by legitimate projects such as ours. To counteract this apparent ridiculousness, we will be providing more content via the Mediafeeder.net Facebook page. This will eventually become the main outlet for our Facebook related efforts in the future because it directly incorporates the content of our website.
Life laments
As the project's manager, a lot of the work that needs to be done is my responsibility. I have had several real life issues to deal with this year which have taken up quite a lot of my free time. Some of these issues are still ongoing and I have no real idea of when I will be able to return to some sort of regular schedule. However, Mediafeeder is still a priority in my mind and work is still being done even if it's not always apparent.Conclusion
We are rethinking some of our ideas and goals as the project, although quite successful, is not meeting our personal expectations. We would love to hear thoughts and ideas from members of our Collective and our Facebook followers of how they think we could deliver a better experience. You can send us your thoughts via Messenger or our email address. We do have the capability of competing with several 3rd party services, but we are also committed to keeping Mediafeeder a fee free solution which does not need to venture into the territory of contracted legal obligations. We much prefer mutual satisfaction to be achieved without the pointless ties that bind. The only way we can achieve this is via regular or significant donations from our dedicated Community of musicians and fans. Speaking of which, Fattt Boys made a very worthwhile donation recently so go show them some love!
All the best,
