Staying big or small has nothing to do with what im talking about. I've been a huge proponent of scaling from the start. Im sure youve seen my quick case study on the Retrograde's 2024 earnings and how all we need is to scale up.
Yes its good to have insight from new artists. Thats one thing sure, but lets be nuanced here. To suddenly jump into a space thats been grinding hard for years building for free on your behalf..., and to provide your "insight" in the form of "here are all the problems you need to fix" (without having done the proper research into those very problems that have already been fixed) is simply naive at best. There's a right way and wrong way to approach a community as an outsider. Thats on them, not us.

Again, comes off as unwelcoming. I’ve been doing this for a couple years too. I have “research” too. There are a ton of problems that need to be fixed here. Happy to call them out, happy to fix them. Just because I don’t do things the way a certain group likes doesn’t negate my work at all. I wish you all well.
This isn't an us against them thing. No one is negating anyone's work in this space. Everyone's pushing forward their way and Im here for that.
Yes it may come off as unwelcoming but you can read into tone or action. if you follow the progression, many people chimed in with helpful answers to their problems and genuine attempts to help with answers.
Its one thing to be welcoming, its another to take FUD laying down. You literally took the words out of my mouth. Just because our working solutions aren't the way a certain group likes to do things, doesnt mean our efforts shld be negated either by spreading FUD thats ultimately damaging to the entire ecosystem (regardless what moniker you use)
The solutions that exist may not be the prettiest and take some work to learn, but that learning before complaining is the proof of work that @Strange Love is talking about. (Heather you've been here long enough you deserve to complain lol)
