What do you think about promotion?
🕑 Added 2025-09-16 19:39:12 +0000 UTCAdvertising is pretty much the only way to grow a Patreon page. Unlike Steam, Patreon doesn’t have any kind of discovery algorithm. And cross-promotion is often the only way to reach new players.
On the other hand, I totally understand that as players, ads and promotional posts can feel annoying or intrusive. So I really want to find a balance — something that helps us grow without bothering those of you who already support the project.
What do you think? What kind of approach feels fair to everyone?
По сути, реклама — это единственный способ продвигать страницу Patreon. В отличие от Steam, у Patreon нет внутренних алгоритмов продвижения. А кросс-промо — это чуть ли не единственный способ заявить о себе новым игрокам.
С другой стороны, я понимаю, что вам, как игрокам, реклама может быть утомительной или попросту раздражающей. Поэтому хочется найти баланс: чтобы мы могли понемногу развиваться, но и не надоедать вам промо-постами.
Что думаете? Какой подход был бы честным и комфортным для всех?

Honestly, might be me being weird, but as long as my feed doesn't become just promotions, its kind of nice to see one once in a while to learn about new projects similar to the ones I already follow. Especially now a days, when itch and steam are having the whole collective shout problems.

Like others I would say do what you have to to keep making your game. I would just try to keep it to reasonable numbers. Plus cross promotions help you as well
