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. 🧵

Allowing any ads is an inevitable gateway to allowing more ads. I'm a big proponent of letting game studios post their work and let the merits of their post be its own advertising (game screenshots, WIP blogs, cool trailers) Anything outside that starts the ball rolling toward enshittification.

I get that. My goal is to prevent that, but I'm only human. I'm planning to write up a clear prospectus on what I will and won't allow as ads on this feed, then I'll get community feedback before I pull the trigger. I'm hopeful that will help avoid some of these issues.
