Is there anyway to shift to non porn content while still keeping some decent views?
It really depresses me how the ones that took me effort to make barely make 1/10 of the effortless porn

I want to make my own webcomic, but the numbers don't shift favorably towards it

I am a virile young bvll and I prefer the bottom

it's a rule of nature that sex sells
draw more, get better, and you'll have engagement with sfw stuff too
>>
Not really, no.

You just have to accept the fact that the majority of internet powerusers are unlovable mouthbreathing retards and you get the most traction catering toward them.

You get to have views or you get to have integrity, choose one.

>Is there anyway to shift to non porn content while still keeping some decent views?
Yes, but it's slow to build a following.
>It really depresses me how the ones that took me effort to make barely make 1/10 of the effortless porn
That's because effort is a meme, the people that consume art doesnt care about how hard you worked, only how the art make them feel, in this case, they feel horny, but it could be a wholesome art so they feel happy, or a depressing art so they feel sad, it's all about emotions, hell most of them dont even know how art is made.
>I want to make my own webcomic, but the numbers don't shift favorably towards it
Just do it anyway, nowadays there's webcomics with billions of views on websites like webtoons and their artists are multimillionaires, it's all about appeal.
>>

>integrity
You mean failure and poverty?
>>
>>7823708
If you post on Webtoons, you add to South Korean brand.

If you post on X, you are at the mercy of X's 4 Thumbnail, and X userbase and ultimately the algorithm that will push your shit to many people then shrink traffic. Then Melon charges you more for more Reach.

Same with Facebook.

If you make your own website. you are at the mercy of Search engines.

If you post on 4chan, there's more FBI, CIA, and fellow artist here than regular people.

You better make sure that webcomic has Good art or engaging story at FIRST chapter.

>don't draw NSFW, algo debuffs your reach
>don't draw SFW, NSFW gets more interests
Man, I don't get all these shits, I just don't fucking understand.
>>
>>7823708
You actually get at least triple the reach if you keep your account sfw and cheesecake/suggestive at most.
Nsfw kills your reach and you won't ever get algorithm. It's better to make a second account for your nsfw.
If your account is already Sensitive Content labeled, then posting sfw will get no traction compared to nsfw.
A downside to the reach of a sfw account is that faggot kids will probably see your posts

What board in 4ch is the best one to post content to reach the site's community? Obviously /ic/ is out of the question, not even feds care about this dumpster. Being assigned to this board must be like when they send the one who fucked up to Alaska.
>>
>>7823708
not really. 99% of your audicence will be following you for porn, stop doing porn and they'll go somewhere else.
live by the coom, die by the coom.
start a whole new account to attract true fans.

I'll make a sfw account by next year or whenever my skill becomes satisfying enough. I'll see where that lands me

Is it impossible now to build a fanbase from 0 on X if you're mainly drawing hentai?
>>
>>7823824
Fuck man, even with or without hentai newbies have to opt in and pay X for artificial boosts, everything sucks

Unless you have blue checkmark it's all just luck. That's why everyone is just drawing current trendhopping meme or popular anime/gacha character to get lucky and get a popular tweet once in a while.
>>
>>7823861
The checkmark literally doesn't do shit
>>
>>7823708
NSFW give immediate gratification, SFW are slower burns and take a more long term style of approach.
>>
>>7823708
porn sells, everyone is alone, depressed but still subject to their desires.
To this this is a bug and not a feature is idiotic

The problem is that the the characters on the top are wearing really ugly outfits.

This. If you want to make your webcomic, you have to just commit to it. These things take many years to build an audience, even when the person making it is popular. There's a million webcomics out there and most of them just get unceremoniously abandoned. People have been burned many times before. You have to show them that you're dedicated to finishing it if you want anybody to become invested in it.

sex sells and there's nothing you can do about it. Many artist expressed their pain that their sfw or oc artwork gets little to no traction. If by miracle you manage to make it by just doing sfw, you'll still won't make as much as a mid tier nsfw artist, but at least your soul won't be crushed i guess?

I believe there's an army of bots liking any sort of pornography as part of a two-step strategy to shill onlyfans thots and other scams.

Twitter will easily notice if you're botted because they aren't that retarded, but if you're among the first to reply to something and THAT blows up because of your botnet you still get a ton of attention and they can't tell if it's you or the OP doing it.

making your own site died doesn't work anymore, it died out once social media became popular. The only reason you would do for portfolio reasons or an alternative way to download your game.

considering the new gen treat you like Hitler or some bs like that for drawing it and would go out of their way to fucking seeing it and blame you for them finding out about it. Artist that draws porn gets treated fucking worse than of whores and porn starts for whatever reason.
>>
>>7823708
>Is there anyway to shift to non porn content while still keeping some decent views?
Yes, draw good art, socialize, network, treat your social media as a full-time job.
>>
>>7823708
Don't go full NFSW your stuff will get censored and it will decrease the views immensely
Go for sexy/suggestive stuff specially feet. Also people like to see to see stuff transformed into humans, like no human characters from games or even IRL insect/animals

Btw if you don't feel humiliated or don't care, draw VTurbers like Nerissa with their hashtags and they will retweet you, it will give you some followers or draw other peoples OCs and tag them
