I installed the itch.io app today and realized that not many users seem to know it exists.

I thought about encouraging others to use the app as well, since this might help itch.io attract investors, or make more revenue in the long run (just guessing, as I don't know this kind of stuff). But it also got me wondering: what else can I do - to help itch.io grow and prosper?

Maybe there's some small things we - users, can do, to help itch.io make more revenue for instance, even by users who can't afford to pay for the most of the digital media here?

I understand, it's a difficult question, but us knowing the answer to it - can make a lot of difference.

Pizza Doggy, nuqneH, jup quv!   This is a great question.  It showes you have extremely high iq, most likely 180 range. You are already helping by producing hi qual material. This makes itch.io stand out. Merci fur letting us know about app and keep up your fine work, svp!!  Also, if we band together, stop the griping and neg comments it could help build up juju, da?

You're fine, but other accounts can sometimes post neg comments which can be upsetting to a sensitive artist, oui?  So, let's all focus on producing ultra gigh quality material even if it takes 10 Jahren to make game, hai?  Und let's get our msg out there.  Like: Football is kewl, meat is good, gimme that leather.  Am I right, sahib? A bientot.

I always wondered if starting a game channel (play itch.io games) on a youtube competitor (bitchute, odysee, rumble) would be a good idea.

Honestly, I do not think the idea of trying to draw investors or anything of the sort is a good idea. They can dictate what sort of games they want to see published and as itch is indie (and indie devs are dealing with major fucking fiascos right now) the last thing we want or need is the potential for even more opague rules, regulations and sudden changes being forced down everyones' throats. 

Itch is already prosperous, the site takes a cut from game sales. It doesn't need anything like investors; what it needs is to figure out what it's doing, stop keeping developers in the dark and doing more advertising on their own. 

If you want to drive more traffic to the site, you can probably always advertise for them, like mention where you get your games and stuff of that nature, though.
