An important thread about the future of this account

When I joined Twitter, I did it because it gave me a chance like no other. To be able to make points which I want to share with the world, show off any skill and technique I've developed, and make myself heard.

Unfortunately, however, most of the time, not more than 5 or sometimes 20 people take notice of any joke, statement, or personal project which I’ve worked hard on, and everyone else gets attention and thousands of likes and respect while I fall off into obscurity.

Last night, I tried to make a variant of a joke about the new Tier 4 restrictions which went largely unnoticed and hardly got any likes. I tried to repost it again and again in the hopes to make it go viral and make my thoughts on the matter clear to the wider public,

but still it went largely unnoticed. A few minutes later though, another account made the same version of the joke as me, and they got thousands of likes and the attention which I hoped to earn from my joke.

Though I got support for my plagiarism case and that the account who stole my joke is reputable for stealing other people's idea, I was left devastated by what happened. I put a lot of thought into my work and what I post, yet the wider public don't notice

I'm jealous of accounts like @RexChapman or @JimMFelton, or @StuartHumphryes, or @MarieAnnUK, who post similar types of the content I post about or make and want to share that get swarmed with attention the moment they upload it.

Yes, some of these folks might already be celebrities, but I feel left out. I enjoy doing what I do, and I relished the opportunity this site brought me, but in the end, I feel disappointed. It's not fair that my colorizations and posts and edits are overshadowed by others

8/11

My Doctor Who/Exorcist crossover fan edit? Hardly any notoriety

My colorized photos? Not more than 3 or no likes/ retweets at all

My political posts? Hardly any attention

Thoughts on things like my favorite albums? No awareness

9/11

While attention comes second to me, I find it still to be quite important for finding myself. I want to show others what I can do, I wanted my talents to be acknowledged. And while some of my posts did go how I wanted them too, that only happens once in a blue moon

With all of that being said, I feel very sad about it, and I'm considering quitting Twitter. I've tried more than enough times to make a name for myself here on this site, to show off things like my colorization work to the world, yet the majority have turned a blind eye

11/11

While it's a decision which has been very difficult to make, and while it's something I might not stand by, I feel like that's the least I can do now. If any more of my posts go unnoticed by the wider public, then I'm probably shutting this account down

Extra:

As this thread won't have anything remotely eye catching, this'll go unnoticed. However, if there's anything I can leave to prove my work if people see it. Here's some of my colorized photos below
