Although I didn't set out to run my own label, I found it made sense quite quickly. I can say what I want and dance to my own tune, even if sometimes it's like nobody is listening. The trade-off is you stay 'cult' and resign yourself to a very modest level of what most people would call success.
Withered Hand

WHAT DOES TRADE-OFF MEAN IN ENGLISH?

trade-off

Trade-off

A trade-off is a situation that involves losing one quality or aspect of something in return for gaining another quality or aspect. More colloquially, if one thing increases, some other thing must decrease. Trade-offs can occur for many reasons, including simple physics. The idea of a trade-off often implies a decision to be made with full comprehension of both the upside and downside of a particular choice, such as when a person decides whether to invest in stocks versus bonds. The term is also used widely in an evolutionary context, in which case natural selection and sexual selection act as the ultimate "decision-makers". In biology, the concepts of trade-offs and constraints are often closely related.
