I won’t be using my main account just out of courtesy, but I understand the feeling. I’ve been on scratch for four years on my main and only now have I hit 100 followers. Sometimes I feel jealous of seeing accounts that were only established five months ago achieve popularity in so little time when it took me most of my teen life to even reach 100. Hell I’m still not popular, I’m still considered underrated sometimes :> But as well, I’ve only recently started interacting with the community, I’ve recently started adding my projects to studios when I didn’t before. I actually comment sometimes (though tbh It feels weird to still cause it’s something im not used to). We get so caught up into wanting to make projects we want to get noticed that we isolate ourselves from our peers and communities, sitting in a puddle of self loathing and resentment towards our peers for something we did to ourselves. And it sucks to hear but sometimes it’s what’s needed, I sure wish I had someone tell me this when I was feeling the same way It’s hard, I understand, but that doesn’t mean you should let yourself stay in this hole of despair. Nor am I saying that any of this is your fault. Your emotions are valid and real, but you do have the ability to shape your future on scratch, and never take that for granted, I sure regret not taking that opportunity. Start simple, maybe add your projects to studios (I’ll link the ones I use in the comments), comment some more, use everything in your artillery to help yourself become recognized. But listen to me when I say this. Never let your popularity dictate what you create and how you create it, your projects are your biggest strength And I’ll be your biggest supporter (if wanted of course)
