What do you mean you can’t promote him? You’re very positive about him to the point it seems you really want me and other Lemmy users to go pay attention to his stuff, and are willing to make posts to do so. That counts as promotion.
Thanks for answering my question about whether he is supposed to be mainstream enough that I am supposed to know who he is without explanation. Unfortunately, there are probably plenty of YouTubers who have higher subscriber counts than the count of total active Lemmy users, most of who are totally irrelevant to me and who are still not someone everyone who does not live under a rock would be aware of. I’ll assume he counts as one of them. I am glad you enjoy his content enough to advertise for him on Lemmy, but it’s coming off less as a person sharing their enthusiasm and more as an advertisement I really do not want to see. I think that is the vibe everyone else is picking up as well, and why you are getting a lot of downvotes on this post.
I was like that until Epic released free games that I decided to claim just in case my tastes changed or I was with a friend who enjoyed that game, but that I myself was very uninterested in playing. And then I got busier, and bought games I have high confidence I’d like but did not have the time to play just then past maybe a demo or a short while to check if I did actually like it—I’d get to it sometime later when I had more free time. My tastes tend to expand to include more things, but not to reject more things as well, so I thought the risk of tastes changing was an okay risk to take in order to capitalize on the sale of a game I am interested in now, even if I would play it much later. So far I have proven pretty good at guessing future me’s tastes.
