>>791732863AM or not, the whole problem with indies is branding and marketing. 3AM or even Barbies could in theory have a great group branding, but the marketing is still EXTREMELY lacking, because that's what twitch indies are used to, with few 4view exceptions.
Reminder that nina got kickstarted by 4chan ads back in the day. Of course that strat would not work anymore, but more on the importance of marketing. Look how much idol or phase or anyone else who's seeing real growth spends on ads, presence at conventions, etc.
This is not only about Nina but I've been thinking and reading corpo-onlies tweet responses to corpo vs indie dilemmas I've seen around, and most of the time, when people are not rabid tribalists, it's just they don't have ANY FUCKING CLUE of all the indies out there.
tl;dr we live in a bubble here.
