Falling apart . . .

I agree with the previous comment that getting the word out on other platforms could help. Tumblr might not be very helpful because it went baby mode in 2018, causing many NSFW creators to move to NewGrounds, DeviantArt, Twitter (now X), Patreon, and others. Not sure how much Facebook or Instagram will help because they heavily censor content, even referring content. I'm not current with FB or IG because I closed my FB acct over 6 years ago, then I got locked out of IG 3 years ago when they thought I was a hacker after I started using a VPN. IG wanted me to do a selfie video of my head. No way!

As far as I know, X is the only large platform that won't censor you. Smaller platforms like NewGrounds & DeviantArt won't, either, but they (like X) require visitors to log in to see NSFW content. That's fine by me.

Speaking of censorship, Etsy just recently (2024-07-29) went baby mode and kicked out sex toy makers. Some makers have moved to their own ecommerce sites, such as Shopify or WordPress/WooCommerce at free-speech-supportive hosting companies. Some shops, usually the bigger ones, saw the writing on the wall and already had their own sites, but some smaller ones got caught off guard and are now scrambling. It's pretty disgusting what Etsy did to those people, who helped Etsy grow.
Thank you so much for the suggestions! More views might be good but I'm not sure that would solve the whole problem... My problem is more like, the more I post, the more I feel ashamed that my posts feel so meaningless, there's no clear picture of whatever is going on here anymore, and it makes a lot of people just give up on me as an artist, I think... Unfortunately, my muse just refuses to work with consistent characters and all I can do is random stuff, so I can only hope to find some bright idea one day... But whenever I try to think of a big project, something that would make me feel good to wake up in the morning and contribute to it - it just fails every time but nothing is ever enough to contain all of my ideas and characters...

And I think every single platform you mentioned is disgusting, not just Etsy (I've honestly never heard of that platform before), but FB, IG, DeviantArt, YouTube, they all have their horrible histories of betraying their own people who helped them grow in the first place. Those are corporate platforms, it doesn't matter who helps them grow, they simply use you and kick you out once you're no longer needed.
Now this might be something you do already so I apologize in advance!💖 But visibility is key with all the stuff out there, so what if you posted your content several places? Like instagram, X, tumblr etc and used hashtags and descriptions that would attract attention through algorithm, when people search? Like #quadamp #stretching #waistcinchers etc and write a few key word descriptions…

And you wouldn’t have to show the entire pic either… Like when you make a pic you could crop it or blur parts of the pic and then post a link in the keyword description, leading people here for the full pic?

It’s just a suggestion, every time you’ve made art and a story or description of it, you’d quickly blur, crop, write keyword description, find a few hashtags and then post it to these platforms. I’m sure they’d be quickly discovered and bring people here for the full artwork and story🥰

Hope this helps!💖
Thank you so much! I think I really need to use at least X.com - I just checked #contortion on it and I'm finding some artists already XD The last time I checked (3-4 years ago I think) their search engine was broken and I'd only find some trash, but now it seems they've fixed it... Oh, nevermind, tags like #tightbelt are still broken as before...

Instagram takes your real geographical location and starts suggesting your profile to people who live nearby, regardless of what their interests may be. I was fortunate to notice that feature at a very early stage and avoid doxing 😖
I've feeling the same recently...
X/...

Deviantart almost destroyed my account, I'm not using discord as before after I was hacked and lost confidance on the site... now the same with furaffinity...

My patreon failed... I not taking commissions as the last round of them also failed... and I'm still in financial stress...

... right now, I'm not in the best mood...

But at least the rubber duck song cheers me up... XD
Doesn't sound like the same to me - sounds like much worse than my situation. I'm just frustrated with my skill issues, while you're having real troubles... But I'm glad if something on this site can distract you from these troubles and help to feel better... Probably not this post though XD

I love your art, Yuni!
Me, personally, I always wish you'd do more foot focused stuff:3
I've followed your work for many years, starting on DA back who knows when. Obviously there is some work I like better than others, but overall I think it's great, or I wouldn't still be here!

I have enjoyed your work for many years and yes, I do have favorites, especially Martin, Yasha, Amtril, Faelerin, and Yralan. Would I offer counsel to Matisse or Rembrandt regarding a direction with their art, if they were still among us? No, and I won't interfere with whatever muse is guiding you in your work, for it seems to serve you very well. In whatever direction your work is headed I intend to be there, to enjoy it.
Hello, I like your pictures very much and I'm always happy when there is something new to discover. I missed rubber wrestling with Wolfy and Helmut at the Olympics. Rubber wrestling is an Olympic discipline, isn't it? 😉
I love your work and have been a fan for some time. Glad you are able to do more with your own website without DeviantArt's restrictions. As a fan if NBM, I would like to see more of your realism in that area, but really just keep up the fantastic work!

I’d love to have a waist like this and wear the suit! His story is so compelling and love his demure looks.
Ah! I just love this kind of content of handsome men in any kind of body wizardry! ❤️

Great historical review!
270° as a bare minimum seems unrealistic.
