>>40064nono you're fine - I made a typo -- I meant to REPOST my report my post username (not REPORT it!)
>>40062I feel like social media is demoralizing for me when I'm on it. Like, I'll make a post and then I get these thoughts like: "I'm not getting as much traction as I deserve." I wind up living in my head and I don't like the person that I see myself turning into when I stay on those platforms so it was better to just put an end to it, no flounce posts, no announcements, because i didn't want to be seen as an attention-seeker.
But someone got in touch with me on report my post and told me there were some people who wanted to archive some of that art and I think that people who go through that trouble are real fans compared to the vast majority of likes that count as 'feedback' on twitter.
I think that the people who are really popular on twitter really make a lot of sacrifices in different ways to maintain that popularity and I honestly don't know how I'd maintain my sanity. It seems like you have to post frequently and jump on the bandwagon and draw the latest trends and... I have my own ideas and things that I want to draw.
So thinking about it, it means that if I'm not willing to play by the rules of social media popularity, I don't get to complain about my lack of popularity and maybe, just maybe there's a bad fit, like my mind isn't shaped the right way to fit in and I'm too stubborn to conform to a shape I don't admire.
So it's probably a lot healthier for me to go back to the way things were when I was not on twitter and I enjoyed drawing just because I had lewd ideas that I thought were fun on paper and not worry too hard about whether it was going to become a post that others would like.
