Completely agree. This doesn't show much knowledge for the music industry. The huge call to action button and the blond girl are just a bit demeaning for someone who is trying to establish their name to their fans

Maybe I didn't have my morning coffee yet, but the video seemed to be too disrespectful of musicians.

That was my interpretation as well and I didn't like "sell your sh!t" thing. I don't think a musician would like his art to be called shit.
Also, a small baggie of drugs or something from McDonalds is not the recommended way to generalise how musicians spend their distribution cheques :p
Hahaha, i'll take the honesty!

Landing on that site and seeing the big 'Create Sale' button is pretty confusing. I don't think 'oh this is a site for musicians to sell their music directly to fans'. It also claims I can use 'social sales' but is that a meaningful term? I've never heard it before and it sounds pretty buzzwordy.
edit: Just watched the video on the front page and I can easily believe that only 1 out of 1700 people thought it was worth bothering with.
The execution just seems awful.
