Itās like he thinks heās the king of rock or something ā¦ Don't worry, I already feel dumb for expecting anyone to like me. But Iām not dumb enough to expect a response from celebrities, least of all the dearly departed ones. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot read if he truly thinks he is a celebrity on the app or playing around. He followed me and sent a ton of invites to my inbox and I finally joined him a couple of times and followed him back. I admit he was a little over the top with his performances for me but I had fun and he was generous with his comments. One day I noticed he had unfollowed and I did the same. I am not a number for these people. šHe gets numerous joins so apparently someone likes him or his style.

That is how they operate. That is why I avoid them. Itās not just the men ā¦ popular women on Smule are the same way. Only looking out for number one, and they donāt care if no one else is having fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Some women are as bad as men seeking attention. I say if they want it and can get it good for them but itās not a goal of mine. I love to simply sing with nice people.Ā Ā To the topic of this thread I like the reactivation of open calls. There are times I donāt have time or feel like opening songs so it works for me. But I would never reactivate 85 at one time. I wouldnāt have a follower left. The spam would even run. š Edited August 19, 2023 by TheMajesticM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Member Duetā¦] Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Yes, exactly! I want to find nice people to sing with. Iām always surprised when someone from this forum finds me on smule, and actually wants to sing with me. But I think Iām nicer and easier to get along with on Smule. Iām starting to warm up to the idea of reactivating my invites, because there are times when Iām really depressed and donāt feel like putting out anything, or I have deleted whatever invites I made. But I mostly count on my followers, who probably already joined the first time around. Boo to spamming!Ā Ā 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Member Wishā¦] Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 I was recently gifted a 5-day VIP, so right before that expired, I extended a handful of songs. Good lord the 14-day extension (especially on top of the original 7-day window) feels like it goes on forever. I much prefer the old way, where invites technically expired after 7 days, but then people were free to join whenever they wanted to afterwards. One of my OCs got 16 joins over the course of 3 weeks, which might be the most I've ever received for a single song. I don't know how popular users can function or even manage getting dozens upon dozens of joins with every OC. I think I'll stick to my lesser-known songs, thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havenāt tried it yet, although Iāve been thinking about it because I donāt feel like making OCs right now anyway. But Iām still not sold on it. The old way seems much better.Ā How the popular users do it is, they donāt actually listen to the joins. They either like/comment without actually listening, or completely ignore you. Which is fine, itās their Smule to do what they want with it ā¦ but I donāt like singing so much that Iām willing to donate my time toward increasing the popularity ofĀ some self-important a-hat.Ā Anyway ā¦ rant over! I looked at your account because I wanted to try to sing with you, but didnāt know any of your songs. And now that Iāve finally updated to be able to see and use the triple pin feature, I canāt join old OCs anyway, unless you re-release them. Thanks, Smule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many people know my songs, so I'm used to that. And even when I upload and open a song, it's only open for 2 days because I'm not VIP. I'm shocked I get any joins, to be honest. That triple-pin feature was not worth an app update and losing the ability to join expired OCs, I'll tell ya that much. My older phone still didn't take the update (hooray expired OCs!), though I gave my newer phone the update a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was only one person whose old invites I joined regularly, and he makes enough new that I donāt need the old ones anyway. But there are a couple of friends who Iād forgotten about, who I miss being able to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know non-VIPs could open duets at all, but then I haven't been one for 5 years.

I have typically seen that for verified users or popular artists (guessing they are partner artists?). A far as I have seen, those invites never expire, it's been open for years. Some usernames -Ā BairaviGopi,Ā ramyaduraiswamy,Ā shanucheenu. It says 7 months left for their invites when I checked today. I just thought to check those users today and oddly enough, those invites that had 7 months left at the beginning of August are expired now. I guess their promotions ran out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Member musiā¦] Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Oh yeah, you are right. Maybe the 14-day extension thing brought this special promotion to an end? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
