Someone has too much time to overthink things.
Bandmix in my opinion is just social media, and unlike say FB, they keep things the same. Bandmix is a place for us musicians to share ideas, thoughts, rants, vents with fellow musicians.
I like that it doesnt change formats like some other places tend to do. I enjoy sharing my views on things, especially as it pertains to bands, both original and cover, or just dabbling alone. Occasionally I step into hot button subjects, religion or politics. It gives me a perspective that others have different views than I do, and we are all allowed to air our views. Ive come to respect most people that post here, it seems that although I dont really know people here, in a sense I do know you all, what you are doing, musically and non musically.
Honestly I dont agree with what everyone says, but I think Ive learned to give my fellow human being respect for what they think, even it goes totally 180 degrees counter to my views.
I dont care for some of the mudslinging, the people that just show up every now and then and blast everyone in site. Dylan comes to mind when I say that. But then again he has the right to say any damn thing he pleases, whether I like it or not. Some of those post can get highly entertaining at times.
I pay a membership, because I know that it does take some money going in to keep anything going. So I support the site, whether I really get anything out it or not.
But like my first comment, I just chose not to overthink it too much.
