Hey #GameDev, what are everybody's thoughts on ads in the game dev feed? I'm looking for ways to support my work, so lemme explain about what this would look like. 🧵

I feel like with the Internet, we discovered a possibility where we don't have to navigate content we like with ads. However, as we still live in a "money pays the bills" world, as long as I know that it helps good projects/helps me discover stuff I can relate to, I'm ok with it :)

Did we really discover a way to exist without ads, or did it just take a while for us to realize the financial burden was being placed on creators? I feel like that’s an important part of the conversation that’s often missing from the generic “ads are bad” argument.

Don’t get me wrong: I agree that ads suck in general. The issue is that there has to be a path to sustainability for cost-intensive projects, otherwise we’re just hurting creatives.
