I built an optimizer for ship loadouts for a game I love playing, Highfleet. I also added ship file sharing, since that was really popular.

Nobody, even in that community, wants to use a tool to explore the trade space of highfleet ships - but I realized that was probably a niche case. And people are happy pasting their ship files into discord, getting 3 reactions, and never having anyone download them.

I think if discord had "download stats", nobody would use it to share things, given it is incredibly transient and impossible to search.
