Just a lil message and thoughts

No I'm not leaving LMFAO don't panic!!!

Ok to preface this, this is a reddit post that I should've honestly uploaded here too at the same time but y'know... Goldfish brain issues.

Hey all~ just to preface this all. I know i come from a place of privilege of having a larger following and such. For that I'm thankful truly.

Now ill go on to talk about my thoughts on things having gone through the pipeline of different sites, and having been on jani since there were only a little more than a hundred bots or so (shotout to all the Miguel bots i still love that grouch).

Anyways moving on. Now with how long I've been on this site first chatting and then a while later actually creating (pls don't say coding it's writing abs creating. Sincerely someone who does coding as part of their major. This is significantly easier lol. We're just creating char sheets like dnd and the lIms do the heavy lifting). I've seen my fair share of things.

However, my point is this.

Make whatever you want.

Simple statement i understand that yeah. But it's something I fear that keeps getting lost in this community. Obviously not by everyone that goes without saying. But God my personal favorites aren't even popular creators and I absolutely wish they got the recognition they deserved.

The truth of the matter is that the algorithm or lack of really on the site will keep pushing the same people to trending and a lot of others it's just luck.

Let me reiterate that this is no hate on any creators, just stating bluntly how the site operates. No creator should face discrimination for numbers or being on trending that's not on them, c'mon now. That's on the site and how it works. And then again people are just gonna like what they like, ain't nothing to hate about that either.

Because of this now there's been an even bigger uptick I've seen with people doubting themselves, making content they think will be popular, and just overall not treating this hobby for what it is, just a hobby. I know I come from a place of privilege saying this. But hand on heart I would be saying this even if was a smaller creator. My mindset and stance has never changed, ever. I've seen people stress over numbers, best times to post,
