Let's face it - the Marketplace is a beautiful, chaotic mess. Copyright infringement all over the place, AI slop abounds, and producers trying to SEO titles to hell with "titles" like GET 1000 TRAP BEATS FREE - Drake - Unlimited - $1.99
It's a terrible experience for buyers.
Beatstars could offer, either through AI or ideally real human A&Rs, a concierge service where artists could describe the type of beat they're looking for and get three tracks to select from.
In a perfect world, this would just be the regular search, but because we as producers are trying to "SEO" everything, all the metadata has become inconsistent.
I'd hypothesize that artists would pay for 3 guaranteed tracks and Beatstars could use this as an upsell.
Thanks again for your thoughtful suggestion.
