I hope more people come to make more interesting original content on Loops. Now, it's a lot of political stuff. I want to see more art and comedic content.
Kind of sad but that's really the challange of getting the fediverse going. Problem is creative creators just want to get their stuff out to as many people as possible. It's the same stupid catch 22 problem that we had with windows and gaming and software before proton (IE it's hard to build up consumer/user bases without the creators, and hard to convince creators to upload for a smaller userbase).
If that was the primary goal, why not post on all platforms?
I don't really know how mainstream platforms work, but maybe there's no point in using the time and energy to crosspost on Loops if there's no monetary incentive. I started making shorts on Loops because I just wanna practice making videos and share what little knowledge I have with the world, but if you do it to make a living, you can't waste limited resources, I guess.
