You can't have your priorities mixed up. Your music and its quality comes first. Its sad to see so many people get angry and shut down after getting called out for this behavior. You can't fight for an audience and then have nothing to say. You will never be satisfied if you are not willing to better yourself and earn that respect from your peers. Hone your craft, its a long process but no one ever regrets developing a skill.
I’ve never charted be4 and it’s all I strive for. I live to make music that charts. My bussy quenches for attention and to be smashed by comments saying “mmm good chikin” 😩 one day I will chart and make my big uwu discord daddy Vizil proud

i didn't even publish for almost a year, then i published the only thing i felt proud of and when i asked everyone for feedback i got hounded for chasing clout. audiotool is losing me slowly
Yeah, clout chasers are an issue on any site aimed at people who want to entertain so people will be on the look out for it. Some people will understandably misinterpreted your actions for that. If you know you're not doing that then don't let them take you to the point where you say stuff like "audiotool is losing me slowly"
not to neglect the awesome people on here. there are some amazing artists in this community. i don't dare name names but i wish the best for you guys :D
audiotool isn't really the place to develop an audience. It's a great place to network with other artists, but not really the place where you'll be getting millions of streams. It's a pretty small community of people who want to make music first and foremost. trying to min-max the charts doesn't do much for you and will likely just lead to you not being very liked on audiotool.
This is a message everyone needs to see. If you think charting makes you good, you're wrong by a longshot. No one cares if you chart, at least I don't, focus on making your music better instead of charting because at the end of the day it does literally nothing for you, it doesn't get you paid, doesn't get you known by anyone outside of audiotool, it's really just an ego boost. If your goal is to chart, set your goals higher. (This is from someone who has 2 songs charting rn.)
i've came a long way from how i did music, exploring new things and boundaries and just finding my own pleasures of sound design
yeah i often dream about getting to singles someday, but knowing how back and forth of attention my tracks get, it's definitely gonna be a long time, but I'm willing to wait for that rather than spamming people's walls or making alts and totally pretending I'm some new guy and not some highly experienced AT user lol
yeah that's something that took me months to finally be at peace with
i wasn't worried about charts tho, i was just trying to leave an impression to others, but all i did in the end was limit myself and keep myself from doing the things i enjoy doing because i keep thinking my stuff had to be this clean, well mixed, highly and professionally produced track for so long, but i still did whatever i wanted to do anyway (while still being stuck in that negative mindset)
