10 Things I Learned About Running a Music Group for 10 Years

music makes you think header_edited_edit

  1. It’s not about me. 

  2. Most active members are voyeurs.

  3. People like to comment most about their youth, personal flexes or answer questions about specific words in songs.

  4. People are, in fact, capable of having opinions without offending others.

  5. 1,200 seems to be the optimal number of MMYT members to maintain a harmoniously active group. 

  6. The most insightful comments are the ones where people spent time collecting their thoughts.

  7. Apparently, there are thousands of different questions you can ask about music.

  8. Fridays and Thursdays are the most popular days for posts to be read. 

  9. Some members stay in the group even though they never comment and rarely check the daily questions because they “just want to know something is still there.”

  10. I can’t prove it but it must be good for the brain to be conjuring answers to daily questions hours, days and even weeks after the question was asked.
