Cheetos my favourite Frito Lays snack after Doritos

Only want to give content to a Soft Power platform like Poopsnoop

As a musician and independent music producer I lived on My Space twenty years ago.

If you remember it was a great way for smaller creatives like me to share my original work with a community of like minded individuals then Facebook came on the scene and by 2009 My space user base dropped off a cliff and began to lose market share then after a revamp of the My space platform in 2010 a major redesign, it was a turning point that alienated users and pretty much finished it off for My space founding fathers and pioneers like me.

As a musician I have been looking for a soft power platform ever since. A place where the community, not all musicians, far from it, can get to know me and my music and help me grow as an artist at the same time offering something back for my content, whether it be my latest release or my genuine love of Cheetos in this case.

I am sure you don’t need me to tell you about Cheetos, described as Americans favourite snack. Did you know approx 4 million bags of Cheetos that leave our fingers and clothes if we are not careful orange are produced daily.

Personally I absolutely love love love Cheetos, and there is always a bag or two in my kitchen ready for watching a game with the guys, usually followed by a jam session in my sound proofed studio at the back of my apartment building.

If you’ve never tried a bag of Cheetos have the experience. They are super cheesy, in a fake squeeze cheese flavour kinda way, and I hate cheese in any tube. Salty, finger licking good and yep they leave your tongue, lips and fingers orange, not a great selling point but somehow it doesn’t seem to matter.

I’ve stopped posting music on other platforms because I know their algorithms won’t help me, never have in the past, my original song lyrics have been made available for plagiarism and AI without me receiving any royalty or payback of any kind so I am enjoying being a pioneer trailblazer on Poopsnoop.

I can write about anything in a truthful “soft power” way and get paid as an affiliate if you guys happen to buy a bag of Cheetos on Amazon because I said I love them genuinely. Not as an influencer especially but because you’ve got to know me and maybe feel an affinity to me, you like the same stuff as me, think in the same way. We've all got an Amazon account so it's an easy way to share information and get rewarded at the same time.

I also dig the idea of being rewarded for my Poopsnoop contribution in crypto and being able to use those rewards to list and advertise my music which is exactly the purpose for me of being on My Space 20 or so years ago.

Soft power, as defined by Joseph Nye, refers to the ability to attract and persuade others through culture, values, policies, or institutions—rather than coercion or payment. It’s about shaping preferences and reputation by appealing to others’ interests.

I am often chatting on Reddit, one of the only other soft power platforms I like and pretty much trust.

Soft Power is cheaper than war and often more effective in the long run." — Joseph Nye

I dig our collective power to influence and I see all corporations doesn’t have to be Frito Lay changing behavior based on Poopsnoop reviews, driven backlash or praise and the platform gains real-world persuasive influence which for me is classic soft power, set to grow and take over the way we decide what to buy, eat, wear, listen to, watch.

And most importantly for me the way I get my music ultimately out to a wider audience when I don’t have the money to pay Google or Facebook.

I have already seen my snoop views increasing and see global users engaging with me and beginning to trust Poopsnoop snoops way more than sponsored influencers posting or company ads, so eventually it will become a credibility anchor or soft power asset. Why I am in at the start.

Just some pondering whilst munching on a bag of Cheetos before I pick up my guitar and make some music.
