It's funny that my site reached 1 million views like 11 days before it's 4th anniversary haha Like man I've just been goofing around with my dumb art and OCs and people actually perceive it?? wow
In all other social media I kind of had to consistently fight and update things to grow my following. Neocities was always meant to be something I was doing on the side without really telling anyone, and it has been the only "social media" where I gained a following even though I put little to no effort to promote my work
Like I was not doing anything to put the site out there, particularly because people in social media generally didn't give a shit so I didn't want to waste my time. I've had people follow and like my art in the past, but it was always through consistent effort in my part to do so. Here it kind of just grew on its own
Not that I'm opposed to that. My online experience has been primarily to focus on weird niche stuff that no one but myself cares about, and if people want to be spectators to it, then cheers, it's out there
