I don’t hear anything about you creating content.

Oh look, it's the "you can't complain about X if you don't do X" fallacy! It's a cheap ad hominem, if I'm not mistaken. I have created and freely shared a number of 3D files for printing under a different handle, which you may argue isn't "content", I have also answered several questions on AskGodot, again on a different handle, before the site overhaul. I could go on, but that's beside the point, because your phrase is just an attempt in bad faith to derail the discussion and shut down my voice because I "don't count", because I "don't create content".

content creators make more money with SEO and monetization

Which, allow me to point again to one of my complaints about the current internet: Everything can be easily monetized. The easier it is to get money creating "content", the more it becomes a flood race for the money.

You are currently on a network that has much better content and interaction than those sites.

True to a certain extent. The interaction on some of the current sites feel like a checklist of dark patterns. I also have to wade through a continually growing swamp of auto-generated shit, whether AI or not, to find good stuff. Such prevalence of low quality content decreases the likelihood of me even wanting to get out of my "comfort bubble" of known places and creators.

Post more if you want more content.

This makes no sense.
