My youtube algorithm has stopped giving me weaponstubers (for now) and is instead giving me food hacks and, jeez how much spice do Americans put on their food? All of these meal preps are like 90% cayenne pepper and allspice by volume...

People who like videogames don't come up with this crap, because they know a number of players online is a stupid parameter.
Imagine how dumb is not playing a videogame that seems cool because a random angry guy told you nobody is playing it.

The UK videogames sector seems to be facing a duality:
On one hand, it is trying to convince investors that it's a high-growth, low-risk sector so that it raises financing.
On the other hand, it is trying to convince government that it's suffering from market failure, so it receives funding. 1/9

There are many reasons to help people. One that I think gets overlooked sometimes is: helping others often helps you. So if you feel like shit, don’t flagellate yourself in the dark. Leave your head a little. Extend some kindness. You can’t do everything, but you can do some things.

So Im job hunting, and even though my design is fresh & engaging, my direction is clear & actionable, and my leadership is uniting & uplifting, I cant break through the noise
So I made what most art folks have but most design folks dont have:

Hopefully it adds some fun to folks' day

Being commercially successful requires:

2) Luck
3) Help
The quantities vary, famous person by famous person. But the ones who turn out to be shits are always the ones who cannot accept the role of 2) and 3). They think it was entirely due to 1).

They don't have to be creative - it also happened to Noel Edmonds 😁
My interest in this is having investigated an actual scientific explanation of magic for thirty years (see pinned skeet) and it is, as you say, a common reaction. RAW refers to the danger as "navigating Chapel Perilous"
