| Issue | Impact | |-------|--------| | | For viewers seeking a story, the piece may feel too abstract, resulting in disengagement after a few minutes. | | Audio dynamics | The constant low‑mid emphasis can become fatiguing on headphones; there’s little dynamic contrast to give the listener a sense of progression. | | Accessibility | The heavy reliance on visual glitch symbolism and obscure text may alienate audiences unfamiliar with cyber‑punk aesthetics. | | Limited distribution | Being a “TBA” upload, the video has minimal exposure; the artist’s lack of official channels makes it hard for fans to find higher‑resolution versions or supporting material. |
Most TBA content is distributed through paid memberships on their official site or via digital distribution platforms for photography. Safety and Security Note
