Viewing post in Where do you promote yourself outside of itch.io and how?

Yeah, the way discoverability is now, twitter isn’t worth it, and I’m probably an idiot for continuing to use it, but also getting any following to move anywhere else is nigh impossible, which is why the venn diagram of my followers here, on youtube, on twitch, and on twitter barely touch or crossover. That’s one of the frustrating parts of social media. Most of my twitter followers aren’t going to be tapped in to me leaving, so they’ll just assume I died or something.

Maybe those people aren’t the most valuable traffic, but they are eyes, and thus a chance to get a player.

That is of course bad news for crosspromotion or promotion in general. But I can imagine reasons for that. You would have to "hit" a gamer interested in your type of games, that is coincidentally stumbling over your social media. And for itch specifically, not many people even know that itch exists. So not only do you need to hit such a gamer, you also need to hit someone willing to go to this small time game platform he never heard about. But he did hear about those discord try my game scams, so better be wary and only visit steam game pages or maybe gog or one of the others he knows.
