In the modern era, how would someone market homestar runner if it came out today?
>>8030628they wouldnt, its crap, poop from a butt even. millenials had great art tools, even digital ones, and chose to make... this. but atleast we got a heckin badger badger mushroom! and a charlie the unicorn! god i hate millenials so much.
Politics.
>>8030628Much of the same way it took off back in the day: word of mouth. The problem being the signal to noise ratio has gotten way worse and the internet (the part that isn't social media zombies doomscrolling all day) is much more fragmented into individual cliques and microcultures.

I think the only way to really advertise your own site is to put SOME content on other bigger sites, and advertise your own site through those. So if you had two releases a week, put one on social media and let people know that the other is one your site.The thing with homestar runner was that it was very interactive, something that can't be experienced with yourtube or any other social media, so you released videos on youtube with intros and outros that showcase that kind of exclusive interactive content, it'd probably compel more to check it out.All this said, I'm not sure a Home Star, or a Homestuck could come up in today's internet. Ironcially, Google has killed much of the so-called 'indieweb', and what was the common act of just going to random different sites for different needs, has been replaced with just a couple, or even a single site.Some people's internet experience is just facebook, or twitter, or youtube alone... how grim.>>8030652Yeah, if only millennials came up with "67", or whatever peak modern humour we've been gifted with as of late.
