>Numbers are nothing but data. Posts that prove that you've made a difference is a much MORE impacting reward.
Numbers do tell a story though, in my case. As many know, Bonnie was my first bot. I put her there shortly after seeing these threads because literally no one else posted her at the time, and I genuinely found her compelling for Ashnime standards; vibing, cosplaying, watching Serena, trolling her brother.. to me it was the most fresh nu dynamic they came up with that compared to the original trio. Those were my thoughts at the time, and I'm glad I'm not alone on that sentiment.
Some time after that, I just stuck with it, and the account became the exemplary lolicon list you see today, which is not only cathartic for me, but I'm also thankful that the platform ultimately let it be so.
I should be trying to make a point though. Uhh...
When you make a bot, do it for yourself first and foremost. Express yourself and try to make something unique, for better or worse. For example, I'm not expecting any substantial traction for the Trelick harem series, and there are times where I feel it wouldn't matter to anyone if they were all privated. But where is the fun in that?
