Why? Just... why? (Semi-vent, I guess)
Why is everyone still more interested in my old, crappy drawings/posts from 2, 3 or 4 years ago, especially when I'd like to think that I've improved over the years? It's like this one trend that went around the site for a while several years ago where people posted drawings of random shapes using the shape tools (mainly the square one) and filled them in with I think either the fluffy watercolor brush or cloud brush and the flower stamps. Those posts got way more views, likes and favorites than drawings with lots of detail and whatnot. Don't get me wrong, they were cool but I just never understood why random shapes were more appealing than all the cool, highly detailed manga drawings that were posted. That's what this whole thing with my old posts is reminding me of because I've been posting here since I was 13 and come September, I'll have been here for 6 years and for some reason, everyone only cares about my old posts from let's say 2017-2020. Like, I seriously don't know what I'm doing wrong here. Every time I check my notifications, it's always related to a post from 2, 3 or more years ago. I'm always trying to get better but I guess that's not enough anymore, huh? It's the same thing with YouTube comments from when I was like, 14. Everyone always replies to those and I always get the urge to reply with "Next time, look at when the comment was posted and take a minute to consider whether or not the person who posted the comment has matured since then or not because guess what? I don't post cringy comments like that anymore."
