This journal is an excerpt taken from my stream-of-consciousness MMD lexicon essay, 'The Term 'MMD Effect modder' is Problematic. Here's Why'. This except is the introduction to the essay, wherein I explain the inherent issues with the term 'effect modder', and begin to attempt to come up with a better definition. I highly encourage you to read the full essay, as only this excerpt does not explain the conclusion (or lack of conclusion, *spoilers*) that I come to in the full essay. ------------ Preface This is a s̶h̶o̶r̶t̶ essay about the lexical issues surrounding the terms ‘effect modder’ and ‘effect producer’. Please treat it as a stream of consciousness and a critique of my own work, and please feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments below.

This journal was requested by members of the MikuMikuEffect Discord. We were discussing why some people have lots of pageviews and why some don't, despite having very similar artwork quality. After investigating a few peoples' DeviantART pages I quickly noticed a pattern: many people were not optimising their search engine discoverability.
