TL;DR, I won't.
The more time I spent on this platform the more I realize that this is not an encouraging place for learning. It's more about knowledge barrier (people withholding knowledge) and profit (ad-filled sharing link and paid modding classes??? WTH)。
>People withholding knowledge? Guess inI+D this doesn't happen either, or not?; keeping your stuff well protected from your rivals so that you have the edge over them is common sense in the "free market" economy. Being against this isn't a wrong opinion, but may be a tad bit naive.
>I understand you regarding the ad-filled;. However, I use them not for greed, but because these sites offer me almost unlimited space to keep all my uploaded stuff (while more friendly sites ask me to pay monthly to have more than 15GB). You will see some of my teammates using ad-less sites, like
@AndnixSH and
@G-Bo ッ
(Not to mention that other sites exist that inject ads to their mods)
>Paid modding classes. Education is only a right in some countries, and may be free up to some extent, but having to be a teacher consumes time; time you could be earning your pay through other means, or time that you won't be able to consume doing something else you might find more enjoyable. If you consider you can start free lessons for modding, and give custom private attention to all those who request your help, then feel free to do so. You'd get my most respectful admiration for havingsuch a strong will that allowed such feat.
I won't support a platform like this. So I won't share any more personal mods to this platform.
You do you I guess, but in my honest opinion, platinmods is the best platform; I was here as a mod user from before I ever knew modding, and I'm here as a modder.
As an added personal view on your point:
It's "not encouraging" because all info that is shared only makes developers stronger.
It's "not encouraging" because 95% of all people who wants to become a modder will not find the motivation or time to become one.
It's "not encouraging" because most people only want to be spoonfed.
Real life is not highschool. Learning modding consumes time, effort and requieres the will and mindset to push forward. And I will sound edgy, but most people lack these.
Because if they didnt lack them, you'd see way more modders out there.
