@sunflowrbud Another thing is involve the people you want to target when organising an event, you might be doing something not appealing to them, and that will help make sure it is :)

[The Finch @HeadStable]

@sunflowrbud Maybe do it at the advertising stage, prioritise advertising to the people you want to attend and encourage them as much as possible to do so. Also pairing up with a pre-existing group which you want to target to run the event cause they'll bring supporters and friends!

An interactive black mirror is the most black mirror thing ever
Fast forward 20 years and @charltonbrooker will be king of the world having slowly used black mirror as a pretense to create a "brave new world" esque society with lives determined by netflix
