    I posted a 5,808 word treatise loaded with professional photography and graphs the other day and got a grand total of 56 upvotes on it.

    I really hope you either like the knife a lot, or really enjoyed expressing yourself, which is the goal of art (which writing is).

    EDIT: To be clear. the goal of art is expressing yourself, not liking knives a lot.

    EDIT2 : Although “liking knives a lot” is probably a form of curation

      For sure. The above wasn’t a complaint, just my observation on the difference in popularity between niche nerd stuff (58 upvotes) and something that’s of widespread general interest (cats).

      I don’t think any of us are posting on Lemmy of all places to get famous.
