@jwildeboer I only learned of the Tax the Rich initiative by accidentally stumbling upon it while browsing the EU site for the Stop Killing Games one.

This is not a priorities problem, but a PR problem. You can't vote for an initiative you don't know exists and clearly they haven't spread the word effectively.

@jwildeboer The games one got more votes in two weeks than the tax one did in almost a year! This despite proposing ideas that have widespread popular support.

1) I think they made a mistake only having French-speaking presenters with subtitles in their presentation, no English speakers. Unfortunately many people are too lazy to read subtitles so you immediately limit your reach that way.

2) Stop Killing Games is led and actively promoted by a popular youtuber with a large following.

3) I ran into a weird technical issue where the EU site wouldn't let me use the same ID method to sign both petitions, like I was trying to sign the same one twice??? Had to pick a different method for the other petition. Another stumbling block that might cause others to not bother.

4) Where is the promotion for this petition across all (social) media? It hasn't even made the news here.
