Quality poll (+Some thoughts) (Patreon)

Constantly comparing myself to other creators, I realize that I’m always a step behind—in growth, in quality. I’ve always been very self-critical and never fully satisfied with my results. And it’s not about money. In my hometown, people work full-time jobs for $300-400, which I earn this money almost for nothing. Of course, working on this 6-8 hours every day also brings some fatigue.

But the main thing is the feeling that I’m not giving anyone what they want—neither myself the results I want to achieve, nor the people making requests, nor my regular followers, nor a new audience, which is hard to attract because of this.

I’m afraid that even having very powerful GPU might not fix this, because there’s simply no room left to scale up the request system. Even if I could produce 2-3 times more content, I wouldn’t be able to make any major changes because I’ve built such a large part of the community around requests. I’d gladly fulfill requests for everyone no matter if it cost 5$ or lower than that, it's not how it works, it has a lot of problems, first is that fact what that some request can be very local and it's ok, but they can't to attract new people or simply be interesting to other members of the community, it the main thing basically, second is the fact that if request would be unlimeted and the main feature of community then someone just don't get that they want, if now i can't say that i doing a great job having 40 people that can make requests, even if next request slots would cost 30$+ it's will change nothing, because right now it's sometimes more than i can handle.

Sorry for the wall of text, it’s just that this is my first project, and I care about it deeply. Besides, it’s my only source of income right now because I’m still studying and don’t have a full-time job.

I’ll include a poll below about the quality of my content and overall feedback.
