This is a good point
"the hot page is competetive"
i feel like people are MAKING it competetive
like INTENTIONALLY
like it isn't and its not supposed to be but people are babies and always want it sugarcoated.
"its demotivati-" THINK of the other platforms that have this same exact concept, think about how a lot of artists dont get the recognition they deserve.
"i worked har-" you know what votes mean? it means hey i like this thing!. If people vote for something, it means they LIKE IT. it shouldnt be a challenge and you shouldnt force people to vote your stuff just because you want your dopamine from 24 hours on the hot page. If a meme gets 60 votes, oh fucking well its not the posters fault that 60 people like that specific comic.
my shitpost got 67 votes, and its because people thought it was COOL and ENTERTAINING twords them.
And hey, Im glad I atleast made some people happy ykow?
