The internet is full of creativity.
 All over the internet people are making things and posting pictures of things they made. Some of the most popular websites are for peoples creations. Some people have thousands of people looking at what they make but other people give up after a while. Sometimes they give up because they get bored or don't have time for it any more but more often than not it's because they don't get noticed.

If you going around youtube you'll find alot of channels abandoned. 
I've seen good channels slow down and too many channels disappear. 


A few years ago I found a channel, it was a guy with just a few survival games videos. But he was a great commentator. He was funny and entertaining. I was his first subscriber, and he send me a private message excited about his first subscriber and saying how he'd be making more videos. A few weeks went by and he didn't post anything and when I went to look at his channel it was gone. I don't know why he would of quit but I really think he would have gone far if he stuck with it.

Another channel that I just today found out left was a some what small channel called "miners and machines". I found them about two or three months after they posted their first video. They were making short minecraft films and they were professional. Great editing and music, they put a lot of effort into each of their videos, so much so that videos only came out every couple of months. The last I saw they had about five thousand and something subscribers. And they stopped after putting out only four videos and even took down their channel.

And people have been leaving this site.
 Some people get tired of minecraft, others get frustrated after they put up post after post without so much as a comment.
Everyone has seen someone leave. maybe on youtube, maybe somewere else, maybe on planet minecraft.

Maybe you're thinking about giving up. I would hope I wouldn't have to say it given this whole post up to this point, but don't.Everyone who posts on any website was once on the bottom, lucky to get five views a week. I haven't gotten a view on youtube in over a month, but I'm still going to post another video, and another after that.You don't know what post is gonna be your big break until it's already up.
My last post about survival games got more views,favorites and all that good stuff than anything I've ever posted before combined. and I just made it out of what was going to be a video months before.
That said, maybe I'm a one hit wonder, but at least the one post went somewhere and I won't know if I am until my next five posts flop.
If your posts don't get seen, try to see what could be fixed. Maybe you just need better names or pictures/thumbnails, Or maybe you should try making builds, skins, blogs or whatever you make of a different topic. 


Well this has gone from sad to upbeat really fast...
And I guess the blog's over.

The ends of my blogs are always really awkward...

Sometimes it's just the lack of ideas or they're going through a difficult situation IRL
But yeah, I totally agree. Since I started blogging I've seen so many amazing writers leave/stop posting, like SoggyTractor and MGB_. It really saddens me to see them go, but you know what, some things are just more important than PMC. like anime

I don't THINK I'll be leaving any time soon, so that's good
except people hate me and say my blogs are overrated, maybe I should quit after all
whaT no imma stay on this site forever and ever 
I hate you
the only thing more depressing than depression is your mind telling you that it hates you
Vikki this is why you have no friends

If people hate you on the internet, you can't let that get to you. Think about it, if a couple random strangers got such control over you, how will you handle the world?

Lack of ideas makes me post once a month. Even when I have an idea, I work on it, get about half way through, take a break and don't get back to it. I have a different blog I'm working on (and by "working on" I mean I have a bit of it done and haven't touched it in a while) but I made this one out of no where, I was looking through some pictures of youtube channels

(when I subscribe to someone on youtube I take a picture of their channel so I know when I subscribed and how many subscribers they had)

 and I looked through the pictures I saw the miners and machines channel so I went to the channel and saw it was gone and it inspired me to make this blog.

I think another thing is that some people, they just don't have the time to do youtube and PMC anymore. They need to do other stuff, like school or jobs and have to leave just to keep life from getting too stressful.

Good on you for makeing a blog on this, I have seen to, AMAZING youtubers that were good. But they havent posted in a year. It dispionts me to see that happeing. I have a PMc accpunt (duh) and a youtube account (Marissa Frost). I only have posted 2 videos, and gottten close to nothing but I have tons of things planned to post. One thing that I keep in mind while posting ANYTHING useing subscribers, follwers, likes, etc is this: "One day, you might be big. So, whatever you post, act like your big. Write like your big. Most importantly, KNOW your big." 
    It may seem like nothing. But I have only been pon PMC for 1 week and I have more then I could expect response wise. So, dont quite. If you dont have time for something thats OKAY! Just make sure to tell everyonre (even if you have no one) that you havent had time to post content. So, whatever happens, as long as you are enjoying it and you dont feel preasured or not haveing fun with it. Do whatever you want to do
P.S: Excuse my spelling mistakes. Did not have time to write this in World.

When you work hard and make a strong effort to get yourself noticed in the community by taking part in the chat room and joining discussions on the forum, your content is a lot more likely to get noticed. Never be afraid to advertise your work as long as you're doing it when and where appropriate.

Everyone who has genuinely good content and a likeable personality will be noticed in some way. When you look at your work and have moments of feeling like no one cares, look at people on PMC who were noticed. They were in your position too at some point.

True, true... I've been through the unnoticed stages too recently; I posted my best build so far, did everything possible to name it well, make a good thumbnail, etc. But it only got 26 views the first day, then now it has 403, and just 16 diamonds. Not too bad, but for my best project to date, rather disappointing. Nevertheless, I'm still posting other projects, like my to worldpainter maps (also pretty unnoticed).

What's even more annoying is working on a blog post for hours, working on it for two days, and only getting 43 views. Now that's disappointment.

Well, I guess it's due to the fact that there's so much stuff being posted here that your projects just pass by too quickly to be noticed. I actually got more views on my blog post on my website than on PMC, and my website's only been up or like 3 months...
