Isn’t this what upvotes and downvotes are for? Do they only want posts about billionaire mega corporations? 10% is a really strict cutoff for people that make things as a hobby. What else am I gonna post when everything else is already posted instantly? I can’t post to r/pcgaming for the same reason.

I’m not trying to sell anything, it’s a free download, my videos aren’t monetized, I don’t accept donations. I’m an active commenter too even if I don’t make many posts there. My posts get lots of upvotes with good ratios, and I space out my posts so they’re not frequent at all.

Also the fact that they count it site-wide instead of sub-wide means if you create your own sub or use an appropriate niche sub, you’re gonna screw up your own ratio.

    I did.

    There is a parallel to be made between OP wanting to share their free download, and people trying to share Lemmy as a free forum.
