▶2025 July 29 (12:57) - The Web, my hatred of marketing, and acceptance of obscurity
An aspect of a site like this that I really like is the feeling of speaking into the void. As much as I would like for many people to experience my work, I just find it so hard to post onto large social media sites. And not even because it gets a lot of attention or anything, but just the sort of atmosphere that those sites have just really dampens my enthusiasm - the sort of commercialness of it all.
I really just dislike Marketing type stuff.
I'm mostly talking about game development here btw. But yeah. I just really have a hard time with it; I feel like I'm always being advertized to. I don't know that that really describes it.. idk. And I don't particularly fault people for it or anything. But I hate how games are usually treated as PRODUCTS rather than an art form. So I think the crux of issue is that I can't bring myself to relegate the things I make to just being a product, if that makes sense.
Obviously, it's not required to take on a more "corporate" sort of approach just to post my work, but I think the vibes on most social media sites as well as the attitudes (maybe not the right word) of the broader community are not really condusive to the type work I want to do.
Of course, this means that less people are likely to stumble upon my stuff. That's the trade off I suppose. But maybe some years from now a niche YouTuber will make a video about my stuff that will get them a lot of attention. So if you think about it, I'm actually doing a lot for the community...
I'm joking of course. But anyways, that's enough pretentious rambling for today.
