Hi, I know you know more than I do, but I had a few ideas I wanted to share.

• Let people advertise their games in the download links. (Like in the place of ad seen in here https://itch.io/post/2228602
•   Let devs buy promotional campaigns on the front page. Something like steam tends to do. However, this could be restricted only for occasions where the developer has something new to actually announce, a big update or something.
• When people upload gamejam games to itch and its over, lets say for example 1gb, the site could ask the person to upload the game elsewhere like Google Drive or something.

  
  

  • This could also be a thing for brand new accounts that try to upload games that are "too big." 

Anyhow I love itch and I hope it stays around for looooong time so I wanted to share my thoughts on it.

Keep up the good work.

Edit: Basically prioritize "internal" advertising that is more developer friendly and the money comes from us, the devs. I would totally buy a promotional campaign for the front page for a big title.
