Is it over now?
Am I too late to start building a fanbase on X?
>>
>>7768891
So why were these two shadowbanned?

>Crying about their quarter mill of followers
Christ these people are entitled. Are they even doing anything that requires loads of followers, like a youtuber, or are they this obsessed purely because of the dopamine?
They have a stadium of people following and possibly looking at their art, and they're crying over that number not growing - or growing as fast as they'd like.

Don't know.
5 digits likes don't scream a shadowban to me.
>>
>>7768900
nsfw is "shadowban" but it has always been that way, so idk what they are talking about.
if you do NSFW you better be good because retweet is all the push you get
>>
When I see posts like this on x, I think they're designed to break the monotony of their posting pattern and drum up some interaction. Dramatised way of saying "Follow me" without coming off like a social media goblin.

Imagine 258k saying they're gonna restart and 658k saying account is done.

This is just boring.

compared to their followers
>20% engagement rate
>80% views
seems fine to me but it's probably this >>7768916

I mean, remove the bots, the scrapers and the minors then they'll maybe left with 30% of their current follower base.
That only a minority actively engages, is normal, but those who engage usually also engage with other nsfw stuff as well.
Shadowbans means not even your post will reach your followers instead of the meme
>uhm akshually shadowban is when you don't trend
like, they're clearly trending but not being showed to other algorithmic bubbles
thats not a shadowban
>>
You are going to be ok as long as you are above average and know how to show yourself to other artist and also know where to post your stuff, twitter is not the only place you should post, use discord, bluesky, rule34, newgrounds i think allows nsfw, if you animate and like doing sfw stuff from time to time also use youtube tik tok for your sfw stuff... the thing is that you have to post everywhere with your twitter account linked to it, maybe add a watermark so when people repost it they know where to find you.

>crying about decreasing/disappearing followers
X staff started making an effort to combat indian and arab bots recently.
>>
>>7768900
Various reasons, some say nsfw, but i have an alt account that does just fine.

My main one is shadowbanned though. Its likely because i did some spring cleaning. I deleted a lot of post to start over, but also got into the habit of posting and deleting.m I was regretting getting invovled and pulled in poltical spats. Had to keep telling myself, im here to draw. Either way, they flagged my account as bot activity. So avoid bot like behavior.

yes so give up now. If you literally live and die by follower count, you deserve to fail.

You need to stop believing social media will lift you out of your misery by giving you numbers that have no value.
It will only make it worse.

Holy fuck that is unbelievably generic trash
>>
>>7768891
Quite a lot of people haven't been getting followers for about half a year. Personally, my posts do well within my followers, but hardly ever reach anyone outside that. I think the For You distribution got fucked sometime in there. Mine tends to only serve people I already follow. Kind of like how Youtube now only recommends 90% videos you've already watched. Bsky is still slowly growing fine, but that site is tiny. Social media is fucked.

On the one hand, it's forgettable
On the other hand, it's a sexy short-haired girl in a scandalous "maid" costume with big tetas
I'm very conflicted guys
>>
what the fuck do they expect would happen. i'm just gonna guess theyre drawing the same generic trash for a while, stuck in a loop without furthering their craft
>>
i talked to an artist about potentially starting X and he said it's the only place he gets commissions from. if you want to start then start instead of wallowing about two randos.

So what's the average view count for you fags anyway. I'm happy to get at least 100 when shilling something but to see somebody complain from supposedly getting a quarter million views is making me believe in the empty internet theory. Where is everyone?

Around 80 or so with 200 followeds, sometimes it's 200 but usually 50.

My output is garbage but still, I feel like I'm getting fucked somewhat, I could probably bump it to 400 with basic SEO and social engineering tricks if I cared more.

Why do you even want a fanbase on X? That site is filled with faggot tier people.
>>
>>7769265
it's kinda random, most of the time a few hundred views, sometimes 10K or more
a better metric might be the like to view ratio: if it's 1:10 or more, the piece had some appeal
this is posting sfw fanart, with ~200 followers
>>
>>7769387
Jace is unironically chuddier than most of /ic/. It's a little bit impressive, really.
>>
>>7769397
True, I remember arguing with that shithead about something political and I don't even like trump. Also 9/10 his heads do not match his bodies because he doesn't understand how to draw faces and the sacrifices you make when you give every chick anime bug eyes. Gives a real creepy feeling to his work.
>>

>Why do you even want a fanbase on X?
I was thinking of using X for marketing.
I make hentai doujin, sell it on DLsite, and would like to use Xitter for promotion.
But if every artist is getting shadowbanned anyway, maybe it isn't the best idea.

What's wrong with mentioning your patreon/fanbox/etc.? If you do it in a reply 99% of people won't see it.
>>
>>7769844

people use social media as a glorified advertisement board for their paywalled content. no one uses twitter or tumbler or furaffinity as a platform in itself. gotta sheckelmaxx it.

>>
>>7770507
There's a company that sell AI art, I forgot the name of the brand, but my retail store selling it, animals doing quirky human things, its really disgusting, they're being bought, it requires little to no effort. Someone should make a device that makes your own AI and frames it. they need to be eliminated for laziness.

Former sims concept artist, turned schizo or were always autistic. Chime in on this thread. Apparently he had expose himself before ,hence why people recognize him.
https://warosu.org/ic/thread/7393646#p7395257

You can find his personal information by just googling his name. He thought it was a smart idea to disregard his anonymity to BTFO random anons. He shared some personal history too. Imagine risking your professional life to prove yourself to some anons. Like some in the thread pointed out, his behavior might make him the target of mass trolling.
>>
>>7768891
Who the fuck pays for these artists patreons? Their content is so basic I can't imagine some maxxed out perma coomer that pays for their porn to be able to get even close to getting off to their stuff. Or is it some version of pay pigging that they get off to donating to shitty artists? Hundreds of thousands of followers with their mediocre art and they complain. Literally interchangable with AI with how they can't do anything but control net poses and the porn acting tier on the nose captions like "Don't stare too long" "Oh we can almost see it :blushing emoji:" WOW WE CAN ALMOST SEE IT OMG YOU GET IT WE CAN SEE THE THING THAT'S IT I'M COOOMINGGGGG fml
>>

Man, i remember seeing that thread now and ignoring it.
What an absolute cancer of a thread.
>He thought it was a smart idea to disregard his anonymity to BTFO random anons
Probably thought that by "owning" the racist 4channers albinos from /pol/ would give him epic internet status or some cringey shit like effeminate faggots and trannies believe.
Going by his public work on artstation he also seems to be a one trick pony.

People like that really are the embodiment of the guy who drinks his own piss trying to argue you on rocket engines.
