Probably just trying to get on the hot files temporarily.

What is the benefit of that, other than some bonus exposure?

Nothing.  But that's enough for some people.

Think of it like trying to make an instagram post go viral.

.....

Is instagram still a thing?

Interesting. So, it’s just for bragging rights? No extra benefits or anything like that?

Also, I have no clue if Instagram is still a thing. I didn’t care for it then, and I sure as heck don’t care about it now.

Right there with ya on that one. I don't do social media...... (aside from a few forums....) I have a facebook account, but, that is ONLY for access to Facebook Marketplace. It seems to have supplanted craigslist.... (though I still use that once in a while as well....)

Being on the Hotfiles listing does get you a bit more exposure, but, that's only if folks actually LOOK at them. I may look at 'new' files, but, for the most part, when I am looking for a mod, I already know what it is I am looking for, and search accordingly.... Endorsements play a small role in the decision of which to use, but, comments carry the most weight.

I had a Facebook account when I was 14, but I deleted it because I had more stalkers on it than actual friends. This and my LL account are the only things I have that can be considered social media.

As for the Hot Files, the only ones I bother to look at are outfit mods. Even then, there's only a 1/10 chance I'll download it.

I barely remember being 14. The internet wasn't even a concept back then.... and computers filled rooms..... Technology has a come a LONG ways since then. Not sure if that is a 'good thing' or not......

I was just over a year and a half old when the 1st iPhone came out.

I apologize if that makes anyone feel old.

I already feel old.

I remember when 'flip phones' were a thing..... and cell phones were 'new' technology, and coverage wasn't nearly as good as  it is today.... Of course, I don't personally have a cell phone. I really don't need to be that easy to find. Had one for work way back when, and EVERY time it rang it was bad news...... I hated that thing. So, when the job went away, the phone went away as well, and I never bothered to get another one. Sure, cell phones have their uses, but, the annoyance factor of ALWAYS having a phone with me?? Nope. I'll pass, thankyouverymuch.

I can respect that.

I was older than that when Apple was founded.
