The last 3 posts on tiktok have been flopping. I mean, the one with the most views had barely 50 likes, which may seem a lot, but the ones before quiclky reached that number in the span of 2-3h, while this one has been up almost 24h. The last one has been there for like 5h has has like 20 likes. I know it's just me expecting them to do better that they are, but I just... i don't know. Seeing the number being like that just makes me want to delete them. It especially feels weird for the one with 50 likes. I mean, I worked pretty hard on that one. Sure, the ammount of time is more or less the same as every other drawing I've done, but still, I worked harder on it that any other drawing I've done. I looked up how to colour certain things so that they look good (armours, chain mails, ..), made an effort on the background, and made more than just the basic shading I usually do. Sure, I didn't render it or anything like that, but it just doesn't look good with my art style, so it's not like I do it to begin with. I just.. It feels weird, i guess, that the two posts that I've put the least ammount of effort are the ones that are doing the best. Like, one of them still gets likes despide being like 1-2 weeks old, when the other don't even increase in views. The other is more recent so i guess it is to be expected, but still...
And I just, don't know how to feel about those two more popular posts. Like, yeah, I did draw them because I wanted and liked the ideas of each, and I am really happy that they are doing well. Hell one of them made me gain like 20 followers or so. But they are the two most low effort ones. And I still get likes. Saying it makes me feel like an ungrateful brat. But it's just that sometimes I see I have a notification and when I go to check it, thinking it's about the last post getting a like, it turns out it's one of these other two. I just... I don't know. It lowkey makes me want to delete those 3 posts that are flopping, even if one of them I worked really hard on it.
I also have no idea why they aren't doing good. I mean, I used the 5 tags and used a popular audio. The same things I did for every other post. Yeah... so idk if I should delete them or what. One of them ig it's to be expected, since it's an oc post, but the other two are blue lock...
Sorry, it's stupid, but I felt I had to get it off my chest in some way or otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep well (I'm going to sleep soon, it's almost 2am). Plus, I did create this site partially to talk about this type of stuff with no one in particular but still get the feeling like there is someone there and maybe also have a chance that someone may give me advice. But it still feels kinda like a stupid thing to say...
Edit: (even if I just wrote this like 1 min ago), went on tiktok to check before going to sleep, and I saw 6 notifications! Yet they were, once again, those two posts. All 6 notifications. At least I also got 3 about the other one that is flopping but I worked hard on (after seeing there was another notification)
