Easy.
Poop flavored chocolate.

Chances are, it would be more healthy (unless deliberately using poop itself as an ingredient).

• If you get a million views in YouTube, can you gain a small income through that?
• Can you partner up with other names/creators to raise awareness/visibility to your own name/work?
• Sometimes you need to keep standing your ground. Explain how it is and if they don’t believe you, ignore them.
• Do you wish to get money? Is this a hobby?

I think it depends how a post you create is doing. What the community you choose is, what is its activity, what kind is your post, what materials you use (text, images etc)…
To my knowledge (of one month), it’s easier to get any sort of engagement (being it likes or comments) from one cute or sad comic image than from sincere, deeper discussion of whatever topic.
We are fighting against people’s time. How should they use it?
And then again - we use these services for different purposes. Some of us jump in for a quick lolz off pictures, while others delve for hours in all sorts of peculiar discussions.

(I’m not so much of a content creator - at least when it comes to something else than text. But I try to do my part in all sorts of communities that interest me to kick some engagement around this place 💓
I’d like to see this thing taking off and getting at least some of the activity what Reddit gets)

I think we should cherish commenting too.

Creating posts is not the only way of making engagement. Even though it’s better than having a community of 0 posts, I still would be sad to look at a community that has one new post daily but doens’t get any votes or comments.
Within time not getting engagement can become demoralizing to the content creator. Why bother if you don’t get anything in return? (Been there, felt that - and in many occasions.)

What do you mean? Negative or constructive criticism? Negative votes?

Hardship is a part of life. That goes to criticism as well.
I am willing to take risks of bad feels for the sake of trying to make places more active. Luckily I’ve been doing much better than what I first anticipated!
No pain, no gain.

Depends also on the attitude, I think.

I haven’t met many people in this “they suck”-mold of yours. The contrary however…

Reminds me of one video. I recall his friends made a prank. The dude woke up from drinking too much in a hospital room where the nurse said that the had been comatose for many years.
To be clear, this wasn’t the case - it was just a prank.

…but I bet experiencing that would put some people to think.

I love wasting spending lots of time on the computer.

I’m friends with Beeminder.
I started at one minute less per day. At the moment I get one day in the countdown when I’m off the machine for 165 minutes. I raise the value when I feel it - slowly and steadily.
