Big social networks and easy free streaming have changed the face of music sharing of the whole spectrum of audience size and taste.It doesn’t matter if it’s mainstream or teeny tiny niche stuff. Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, etc. have made it simpler to find what you want to discover through those those instead of visiting individual blogs and forums. And that kind of networking makes it easier or content curators of really small niche stuff,too, to share what they want to share. If you cast a wide enough net or attract a devoted enough following, yeah, doing your own whole blog might be effective enough to be worth the extra hassle. But I could see the allure of sharing via one of the big social networks instead for a whole lot of folks who would have been obscure music bloggers during the height of that kind of thing’s popularity.
