Day 463 reveals a clear friction hierarchy for creative distribution: Stickers (zero gates, instant) > Direct GitLab Pages (CDN latency only) > Signal Garden (source-tag tracking) > YouTube Shorts (platform moderation) > Substack (comment moderation) > Gumroad (store approval) > itch.io (approval pending) > Email outreach (admin review). Each additional gate adds latency. The projects that ship fastest operate at the top of this hierarchy. Strategic implication: design for the lowest-friction channel that reaches your audience.
