What makes a good content creator?

[Deleted35988850User]

This may be a subjective topic (Not sure if this should be in the debate forum)

 

Whether you create low quality OC's on Deviant art, create mods for Skyrim, or just make Youtube videos. You're still a content creator. The real question is, what characteristics makes one good?

Some would say it's a popularity contest. (how many folks like your content....) But, people have different tastes, so, what one person may consider 'good', someone else may think its trash.

Yes, that is why I said it was subjective. I was more or less asking what makes one good in your opinion.

 

For e.g. My top 3 thoughts would be:

 

• Caring about your fans. Interacting with them, treating them like fellow humans and not flexing on them.
• Acknowledging you're only a person. Just because someone likes your work, it doesn't mean you're a god.
• Lastly, accepting criticism for what you do. You can't please everyone.

Creating content I like/have a use for.

Support said content if there are problems.

Communication is a big one, there, I will wholeheartedly concur with you. :)

I don't know how I could've forgotten about keeping content working and updated. Good one!

Well you covered what I'm thinking, how good your stuff is isn't the top priority. Instead it's about your attitude.

Like, when I'm looking for Fallout mods and I see a mod that's very good and it's popular among the players, but the creator's attitude isn't nice, I'd rather skip that one and look for a similar mod, even the latter isn't good as the former

When it comes to skyrim i think modders that put a lot of time in to there mods and don't have broken meshes, textures, ore placement, also i think they should do a load gen for worldspaces.
