This is a good model
less uwu indie publishers, more collectives. Grab a bunch of friends making games similar to yours, make a single social account for promotion, and share the burden of Posting. Bundle them together. Promote each other and do less work at the same time

We understand artists must meet their audience where they're at. But over the years Spotify's practices have worsened for the music community...between their dismal payouts to artists, to their questionable support of AI tech, and now their latest decision to run ICE recruitment ads. #BandcampFriday
