>The problem is that people rarely make threads here.
All the threads I made I thought you guys would be interested in have 404'd, since everything I try to contribute here and everywhere else is routinely ignored no.matter how hard I try to work at making it quality OC. Even when I e.g. post 3 gigs of old 2spoop pics and creepypasta to /x/ the thread 404's with zero replies. I feel I suffer an Internet Invisibility Curse, and the only "cure" I can come up with is go full Elliot Hulse / Markiplier / The Oatmeal and whore myself and "make friends/connections/network" and attend marketroid seminars just so just ONE of the things I've spent DAYS on gets more than 3-5 hits, or more than 100 views in two years.
Going through all the trouble of being a "Content Creator" only to be roundly ignored is like sex or masturbation without orgasm. I can't just ignore it or I'll eventually be hopping on one foot, but then I have fun going through the motions but at the end there's a big ol' nothing to show for it but blue balls. Been like this my whole life.
A less pervy analogy would be being a corporation selling goods: to make a profit one must make more money off their product than it cost for them to acquire and/or manufacture it and to advertise it and to store it and to build a shop or whatever and to pay workers their minimum wage etc. So I'm the corporation with zero net profit on any of my goods; i can't even break even. It takes like hours and hours for some things to be made and dreamt up and posted, all that time one needs enough people to spend like 3-5 seconds (or at most 1 which is more likely) for one person to Ooh and Ahh before scrolling down to the next shiny object in the thread. So one really needs thousands of hits to really have made it all worthwhile. And I rarely can even get TWO DIGITS of clicks for no apparent explanation!
Maybe my stuff just sucks and I don't know it? But how am I supposed to know if no one will give feedback? If no one gives me constructive criticism?
