" Do you make use of social media? ": No, I stay off of all social media sites except reddit

"Or, if your games are web-based, do you leverage other platforms that host browser games?": I tried CrazyGames, but failed. I attempted too early.

"Regarding Reddit—sure, if you have an AAA-tier game, I’m certain you’d get great feedback, but for anything else, it seems like there’s hardly any chance. ": This is not true, except for huge subreddits

Focusing on one project and providing constant updates really helped.  

So far, the only platform where I’ve managed to get any results is YouTube—though I’m not even sure if it’s worth the effort involved. A video with 2,000 views only generated 20 plays. Reddit seems to be the most useful platform here.

Honestly, X, TikTok, and Instagram just feel like shouting into a void.

I personally don't use these other platforms for marketing. I have heard that X is impossible to crack the algorithm, and is basically pay to win. The other 2 probably have certain other requirements. 

I will say, if a "discovery site" is missing any of the following:

  • A way to see new or "new and popular" posts/games/projects
  • A relevant, functional search bar
  • Indexing: You can find your post via search 

then it is a waste of time to post and requires thousands of followers.
