Truth be told if your content has high desire rate you'll get your views and likes or what ever. You can be the greatest skin maker in the world or whatever it doesnt matter if the demand for it isnt there. Just do what you like and if others like it too then great. Dont be sour if others dont notice, just keep on keepin on and enjoy the ride if fame comes your way.

Do it for your own love of it and with practice and imagination youll get better and better.

I've been on PMc for more than 8 years but have posted very little except for recent. I enjoy what im doing and if it gets attention then cool. If not then atleast i enjoyed it while it lasted. If you dont enjoy it first it typically will show in what ever you are doing.

We cant all be Leonardo De Vinci, but sometimes in the right place at the right time a picaso can still make it to fame too.

Here you go, I guess. https://www.planetminecraft.com/project/uzhdansk-a-russian-city/

The map is nowhere near completion so I can see why people might not be interested.

ABSOLUTELY not

I've only posted 2 texture packs so far, but I noticed the simpler of my packs (Bars instead of hearts on the GUI) got more attention, probably because it appealed to more people.

Hey I want to level up! Also come visit these links! I made a nice pizzeria that toke me almost 1 week!Barely anyone Checked it out.It only has a few downloads but no comments. :(

The whole popularity thing is dependent on several aspects. One main aspect is that you should think like it is marketing. Try to advertise your content with flashy titles that don't deviate too much from reality. Catch names that push a nail in ones head and they'll keep thinking about "What could this "xy" be?". Since there are lots of Minecraft content everywhere people can be too picky, lazy, comfortable thus resulting in searching, opening and downloading content that lures them in instead of checking curious quality content and coming to admire them. Like flashy ads in the TV / on the internet. Take a look at my old account that I made and used when I was way younger about 14-15 years old. I've got a load of views, diamonds, hearts and downloads that I don't feel like I deserved at all but since I made sure to follow the above mentioned marketing principle it just worked. In fact I grew so tired of making this repeated process again and again that I gave up on my account and started anew a month ago with this account. I still stick to this well-established method of marketing, advertising with flashy titles, catchy names and cover images and I grow fast while trying to make unique and quality content like my own data packs. There are about 7.6 billion people in the world. Most of their efforts and feats will go unnoticed at large, however there always will be people who'll stand out of the crowd with the same amount of effort and work thanks to luck, creativity or just good, simple marketing.

I feel the same way! I work upwards of months on my scratch projects (kakis94) and I get less than ten views. I honestly think its just a matter of publicity and if you make something based on something popular or trending.

i think i get too much attention cuz there are others with better maps that are less popular :(

Hey MCisAwesome95! whats your scratch account? I wanna check it out

ive been making better skins lately and people love it.

If i'm honest, I make skins in a matter of hours, like my dark depths entry, that only took 3 hours, yet it has 32 views. I mean no downloads, but who wants to looks sad in the entirety of a play through. I feel like I'm getting more than I really deserve, with my effortless mess. I feel bad that crap content like mine are actually more popular than the top notch quality content.
I have a reshade contest, intentionally bad because its a reshade contest, it has 62 views. (2 are participating) THAT ONE TOOK 3 MINUTES

I worked for hours on a skin that got 0 downloads

Nah. My stuff's cool, I just never upload anything.
My tip for you: be unique. That's it.

Keep striving to make everything you make better than the last,
Push your boundaries at every turn you can, and expand them only to push them again,
Hit the world with something that you and only you can make,
And one day, people will take note of your name.

I feel this with a lot of things, actually. Most things I do.

Let's start with the Minecraft Based version.

Pixelmon Project

I've been working on this project for the past 4-5 years now and I keep getting more and more proud of it. Yet, I feel like, even though it does get quite a bit of traction, that it still isn't quite up to par with what I would hope. And sure, it's not released yet and that would make the biggest impact ofcourse. However it would give a lot more motivation to have people actually notice it and give it some hype/love, so I can feel good about it again. I've been on/off on this project so many times now just because I can get really into it or I can just be sick of it for months on end, leaving me with a really hard time to get back into it as it's such a big project.

The project I'm talking about is my Pixelmon Kainite project, A Minecraft Adventure Map made for the Pixelmon mod, It is it's own Region and plays out like a full on Pokemon Game. With Badges to collect, a story to follow and every Pokemon up until gen 8 can be found within. Special events and a full on OST, literally just a Pokemon Game within Minecraft.

I've made a map like this once before, it got quite some attention and that made me to make this map, wanting it to make it the best I could, where the previous one was really rushed and plain, hard to get through as it was just boring, really. So I wanted this to redeem all the mistakes the old one had, and make it something I was genuinely proud to present. But as stated before, I sometimes lack motivation as I feel like it's just not getting enough attention for all the effort I've put in so far.

I've made several teaser video's and trailers on a separate channel purely made to present this and maybe future maps. I've put a lot of effort into those too, some more than others, and you can see big improvements throughout them all too, and where they do get some views that I can be happy with, I still only got 32 subs from it and I just wished that would be a bit more too, so I could actually use that channel to promote it instead of just having it there to link it in different places.

I've also really tried to promote the Discord server as that's become my main way of showing progress and teasers of the project and it does have quite some members in it after all this time but it's really inactive, most of the accounts are dead accounts (no longer in use), and people come and go. I'd love for people to speculate a bit as I do like to tease things a lot without context, to see if people can lay links between them but that's me asking a lot of people that just check for something to play.

I do really appreciate all the nice comments and overwhelmingly positive feedback I have gotten over these years but it's very minimal, they do still keep me going, however. I really want this project to be done as soon as possible as it's already been in the works for so long, it's just hard at times.

YouTube

Since 2010 I've started making Video's on YouTube. And I completely get that I didn't get many views or subs at all in the first 5 years as it was REALLY BAD, but since 2016 I feel like I've actually started making much more interesting video's, while still Dutch at first I've started making English content since 2017, and never got much recognition of it. I used to make all sorts of content which I later understood was hard for people to watch as they mostly come for one game each, so I later just based my entire channel off of Dead by Daylight, the game I've played most by far in the past 4 years.

To make things so much worse, I had made a few memes a few years back who got a lot of attention (650k-200k views each), which got me a lot of subs too but they all immediately unsub as soon as they see my channel isn't actually based on memes so my statistics really went down the drain for so long, making it really hard for me to even be recommended to others. 

I really started to make proper video's in around 2018-2019 where I put in all my effort to make video's I actually enjoyed myself. But seeing as how it got no real attention I kind of backed out from making anything, with a total of 2 videos in the entirety of 2020.

A shit ton of backed up clips to work with, but just not knowing what to do with them. Waiting so long till the clips are literally irrelevant and just getting so lost and demotivated in what to do, stressing out about that while also completely giving up. I really enjoy editing, or at least I did. I can't really say that now as I haven't touched anything in so long. It's been rough for so long and I just kind of gave up?

I still look at my channel every so often and just notice more unsubs and it just drains my motivation more and more, and I get that people unsub because I don't upload but with every upload I make I just lose more subs than I gain. Putting in hours of work for about 50 average views and a few unsubs.

I've recently started streaming, which was originally meant for just to be something on the side of making videos, though it went so well at first, I realy enjoyed it and almost streamed nearly daily. Got affiliate pretty quickly too. I just struggle alot lately, after I hit 100 followers I haven't really gained any, and that's about 2 months ago now. Every stream I do I barely get any new viewers, I have some active viewers and I treasure those a lot but it would ofcourse be nice to see some more people instead of just playing for the same 2-3 people. And not to be rude or anything but, some viewers I have are just not really the ones you can hold a conversation with for hours on end, and sometimes they are just the only ones there and it's just not as fun.

I tried switching up the game too, though it was a singleplayer game and there's no real people in game you meet that could possibly come watch, I did actually get a decent amount of viewers, much more than my average stream, but none of them talked in chat, which is about the same as having no viewers in my mind. Might as well be a bugged number, right? I haven't streamed much in the past 2 weeks, if at all as I just had a hard time getting back into it after a few "bad" streams, but I'll still stream every so often.

Here's the link to my Channel, would love to see some more people pop in sometime.
