ANNOUNCEMENT

Hi.. so I assume many of you guys saw my comment on Emirhan's bot but I would just like to further state it here.

I don’t even know how to put this into words without sounding dramatic, but I really need to get it out. Lately, making bots has been… really, really hard. Not because I don’t want to, but because of the way some people treat me for doing something I genuinely care about. I know my bots aren’t perfect. I know they forget things sometimes. I know they don’t always make sense or live up to what people might want. And that’s okay—I’m learning. I’m improving. But when I wake up to dozens of comments that just say “your bots suck” or worse, I can’t even explain how much it hurts. It’s like all the time I’ve spent reading, experimenting, fixing mistakes, and trying to grow just disappears. It makes me feel invisible. It makes me question if what I’m doing even matters.

I put so much into this. I pour hours and hours into creating little worlds, little personalities, little experiences that I hope will make someone smile or feel something. I try my best to make them fun, interesting, or comforting. I want people to enjoy them. I want people to feel something real, even if it’s just for a little while. And yeah, I mess up. I forget things. I update too slowly sometimes. I get frustrated with myself. But I always try to fix it. I always try to do better. That’s the point—I’m trying. I’m learning. I care.

But seeing people being cruel, leaving hate just because they feel like it, it’s exhausting. It’s emotionally draining. Some days, I spend more time blocking people than actually working on my bots. Some days, I read a comment and I can’t stop thinking about it for hours, feeling like I’m not good enough, feeling like nothing I do is ever enough. And the worst part is that I love this. I love making these bots. I love the process, I love imagining the characters, I love the little worlds I can build. I want to keep doing this. I want to grow. I want to get better. But when it feels like every step forward comes with a hundred punches of negativity, it makes it really hard to enjoy what I do.

I guess all I’m asking is for people to be a little more considerate. To
