Am always surprised by how low the number of 'listeners/plays' are on the shows/podcasts on mixcloud (my own soul source related uploads included link here but others as well)

am I reading them wrong or maybe missing something here?

 

 

Some of the figures must be kept deliberately low. Mixcloud attempting to mislead people into going pro or whatever it is called. 

It's like all platforms Mike, you need to really up your activity on Mixcloud,  remember to do your favorites, and comment as much as you can, then I think the algorithm serves your channel / shows to more members, just uploading and leaving, will give you just that;  agree with Chalky they do keep play figures low to entice you to subscribe...

You must resist! lol

also check your tagging, you don't get many as a std member, but tags like #vinyl only will get your channel on charts they do, and that massages the algorithm and so on...

yep some of the figures for well known shows seen very low

plus the 'reads' don't seem to match actual topics on here views, for posted radio shows etc etc

am just using it as a post and forget archive myself Mal, so own figures are more puzzling than a major concern

all  a bit odd imo

you only get 5 tags as a standard member, you have to tag northern soul for one, soul and R&B possibly, funk the other main one.
