- jpg1 3y agoNo, you only are able to watch a tiny part of what is marketed for you. What doesn't get money doesn't get views.
- devcpp 3y agoNot anymore. I can't imagine what media doesn't have a free type of publisher (Youtube for videos, Amazon or Lulu for text, itch.io for games, Github for software, play store for apps, etc), and getting traction is as easy as a Reddit/HN post. If your content is good, it takes 5 minutes to get it to the entire world for free.
- jacquesm 3y agoI so wish that that were true. No, a lot more is made than what is available to you.
- devcpp 3y agoNot really. These days, if you have talent, spreading your work is as easy as making a Reddit or HN post and get traction in no time at all. What sinks probably isn't worth much attention. Of course, works are also made and not published anywhere, but people are free to stay a hermit and not publish their work.
- calderknight 3y agoMy experience with Reddit is that what doesn't sink isn't worth much attention.
- worrycue 3y agoWith the internet (and image hosting sites / YouTube if you are lazy; but YMMV) making stuff available is easier than ever. Whether your audience can find your work is a separate matter … it is available.

- dang 3y agoHey, can you please not post in the flamewar style? The site guidelines contain several rules that ask commenters to avoid posting like this—including: "Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine." "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith." "When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. 'That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3' can be shortened to '1 + 1 is 2, not 3." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
