Shadowbanned at Twitter (Again)

I'm not much into making rants, I rather channel my energy into more positive things like (you guessed it) drawing. I have been stuck between a rock and a hard place for a while however and I'm not entirely sure about what to do.

To be honest my frustration with Twitter has reached a point where I'd rather drop the site for good, but sadly it's still the best place to get traction which I need for commissions, my main source of income (and bread) at the time being.

On a simillar matter, Patreon growing would be ideal, then I'd have more time to invest on both improving myself and producing better and more frequent art (maybe even other things) for you guys here. Problem is I need social networks (Twitter) to promote the site. To double down, Twitter's algorithm is very hostile towards promotion. I've recently read that they even throttle traffic (pages load slower) when you click  a link from Twitter to Patreon.

On the off side, but still relevant, life keeps giving me unsavory surprises and next month I'll have to spend a lot of money I wasn't planning to. I'm not going into detail because I don't want to derail too much from the main topic and this is already getting long.

My Twitter account will be sleeping at least until the shadowban is lifted, but I will keep working hard from this side of the screen and I'll be releasing the content that's due (the final mating season scene and the poll winner).

As for the near future I really need to put some hard thinking into it. I don't want to feel like I keep banging my head against the wall (the wall being Twitter). Regardless of how I proceed I want to let you guys know that your support is a huge help and I'm deeply grateful that you are here for me. Thank you so much!

I'll go back to drawing (there's a comm I need to finish) and pondering my options now. Thank you again!
