while you're in the progress of trying to make it big, this place (and 4chan in general) is pretty good at being helpful and supportive, it's why a ton of nice artists and game developers have wiggled out of 4chan over the years
once you actually make it on the other hand, schizophrenic crabbuckets can no longer project themselves onto you as a reflection of what they could be as you're no longer in the process of crawling out of the hole and you become an enemy of the "tribe" in their eyes

at least that's what I tell myself, everyone I know who has made some sort of long leap of progress in either just tells me that the site sucks these days.
