Anybody else not digging new open up and have to listen to random swells update🤷‍♂️ Also anyone else gotten bombarded with insane amount of followers

Okay been off Swell for a little while now because of the new format and the changes here. I don't know again. Like I've said many times before, I'm not being derogatory towards the app, but it has changed significantly. But that's not why I'm here. I'm here to ask other people have swells and gotten an insane of of of of new followers within a half just to give you an idea

New upgrade forces listen to random swells? And gotten an insane amount of new followers within a days time BOT season??

If they don't want to follow you, they don't have to. So I can assure you it's not a bot attack. These are real people that are following you because they're interested in the things you have to say. It's their decision. And the hope is that it gives you a more engaged audience. With respect to the listen stats that you brought up with this new release, we're actually finding that it's greatly increased overall listens and engagement

This sounds like Taylor from the film Department in Swell. I could be wrong, but if it's Taylor, thanks for getting back to me or whoever it is. Thanks for replying and answering a few of my questions. It makes more sense now, and I hope it does encourage more engagement because we do need more engagement on here. Let's be honest. But anyhow one question I had, though, when your feeds pop up automatically

Hey, Neil, what's going on? Yes, this is Taylor. You recognize my voice. So I'll take that as a good sign. I wanted to respond to you and address a couple of the concerns that you brought up. So first things first, as far as the homepage is concerned and the listening, we wanted to make sure that we gave swell casters a couple of different options for how they consume their content. So one puts the listening very much at the forefront

I'm liking the new update and homepage

Until now, I wouldn't have found you. So it's pretty cool. I'm finding new people to listen to. So yeah, I'm enjoying it now. I thought Swell was not smaller than it appears to be. So. Yeah, for me, it's good

Hi, Mark. Of course you do, because it's formatted like YouTube. So Taylor explained to me it's similar to YouTube. So you know, with marketing, it's commonality. People like familiar things. So of course, you're going to like it, Mark, and I'm glad you do like it. That's cool. That sets the winds in your parade. And I'm glad you found me

Hi, Taylor, thanks for the explanation. You mentioned people like Film Talk. I have one guy that engages me and gives me feedback on every post. Jeff and he's been following me since my horror podcast. So Where's the likeness 5000 listens and my stats and one guy that gives feedback who's been following me for years
