weird gallery behavior
PlayStation 5 and I own all DLC except for a few kits that weren't that great in my opinion. I want to make it clear I'm not by any means famous on the gallery or getting thousands of downloads regularly but My uploads literally never have zero downloads I mean sometimes it'll be as low as like 15 if it's just a room or something but everything I've posted to the gallery since Moola was added to PC I'm just getting like hardly any downloads and it's worse after console got moolah. and I'm just kind of wondering if the gallery is functioning differently? cuz it kind of seems like my uploads are only being shown to like console players or something. like it just seems like they're visually not popping up for people when they search a hashtag or something that's in my title. I have not tested this but I have a ridiculous amount of uploads that have 0 downloads and then a few with up to four downloads. and like that's fine if people just don't want to download my stuff after looking at it but it just seems very suspicious. especially when I usually get somewhere between 15 and 300 downloads per upload. like the last thing I uploaded before all this moolah stuff happened has 199 downloads the one before 80 the one before 70 and now all my stuff has zero to four downloads except for like one thing that has 24 downloads which I still consider pretty low especially when the rest of them are closer to zero. I just don't understand what's going on and it's really fishy. like I said if people don't really like what I'm putting out and are actually seeing it and just don't want to download it it's fine and obviously some things I make people are going to like more than others but it just seems like they're actually not being listed on the gallery for everyone I just don't understand who it is that's actually seeing it but it's a very small pool of people that seem to even be seeing it. and before someone comes in here with unique download blah blah blah I know. it's not that. like don't get me wrong My download averages shrink after that but I at least know what's going on there and I'm fine with it not counting as to downloads of someone the same person downloads it twice. I'm having a visibility issue. that or maybe it's just not counting my downloads at all but that seems less likely to me. The pictures included are what's going on. The image with a higher amount of downloads is prior to all these recent updates to the maker space and gallery. The ones with like full zeros and and a handful of downloads are after. and I know that with time comes exposure so I'm sure they'll get more but it just seems deceitfully off. Even on first day of uploading something I'll usually get a handful of downloads but it just feels weirdly low especially with some of my stuff that's been up for Weeks now having like 5 downloads. like maybe the Sims is just falling off and no one's using the gallery but it just doesn't seem like number wise that it's working properly. like at 5% of people who see my stuff downloaded it before it feels like it's .5 now. as I mentioned before my highest suspicion is that it's only showing to other people playing on console or PlayStation but I don't have a way to prove that and I don't really know what's going on.
