We're now past the two-month mark, and I've done my level-best to stock up our community with a load of content to be delved into by newcomers and reviewers, both. So far it's been a labor of love.
As such, I typically spend about 1-3 hours per day investigating future stuff that might make for interesting posts, sorting through things, upgrading art, writing notes, then giving it a shot (i.e. posting) every day, balancing the days I miss by posting twice the next day. Also, I usually post in the early mornings, such that our posts begin in Europe.
That said, I don't blame anyone in particular for not liking any particular stuff I decide to post on any particular day. That's just natural.
At the same time-- with 300+ subscribers now, it frankly stings to get a negative reaction like this, upon European artist Brecht Evens' work. After all, we're talking about one of the most awarded, modern, most-legit European comics creators doing their thing when it comes to Evens' work.
So here's a question--
-
Can you explain why you don't like the Evens' post? Because I'm open to editing / switching things up.
-
Would you like to post your own material? Because I welcome that.
Me, I'm going to take a break from this sub and think about some things..
EDIT: At the time of posting this, the Brecht Evens' post had a zero score, with more downvotes than upvotes. This was after a full day+, in which I gave the voting time to adjust itself.
EDIT2: Thank you so much to the positive responders. I've read the replies and have commented below.
I appreciate that, matey, and to be clear-- when I made that post, the Evens' post had more downvotes than upvotes (zero score) after a full day+.
It was the first time that happened here, and something kind of snapped for me, considering how much positive energy I'd been putting in to the project. I mean-- you don't have to like the content I post, but downvoting it to negative status really hurts.
Pretty clearly though, my goal of posting new content daily is... well, I don't know that it's wise or sustainable.
To be clear, part of why I'd been doing that is because I had a goal to get this sub going as quickly as possible to provide an alternative to people at r/bandedessinee. You know, while there's still "fuck you Reddit" energy in the air. I was also (still am, really), planning on introducing this sub at various places around the internet, and I want there to be adequate content available.
Ah, desire and attachment, desire and attachment... I sort of failed the internal Buddha, I guess. *half-serious, half-joking*
