First off, I wanted to say that I'm so sorry that you feel that way in the first place.
Personally, I love your art. Your cartoony and simplistic style goes extremely well the theme of inflation.
I used to write erotic fanfiction, and I actually used to feel the same way you're describing in this journal entry, how you feel like nothing when compared to your more popular peers. One way I helped myself with this is that I said to myself "Everyone has a specific niche that they provide to the table that no one else can match, and they'll always be some amount of people who follow and support you because of your niche." So no matter how down you're feeling, just remember that there are people who generally love the art that you make, and I prize that over just stats about views and favorites.

Your art is fine. If anything seeing your friends make art should drive you to make you own better. I understand the jealousy, but artists have to stick together. :3

Man, creating content is effing hard. You put a lot of effort and time into it. Sometimes it gets attention. Sometimes nobody seems to notice or care.

Give it time. I've been streaming for over six years and I'm still small-time. You will keep improving, and you will keep getting fans. Remember, it's not about the masses who silently come and go, it's about the few people who stay along for the ride.

Another take - I personally like your style and a lot of the content you do. That doesn't mean I like it all, and I certainly have little time to do a ton of commenting these days. The last time I did for multiple people was yesterday, and that's because it was an extremely unexpected day off work. I had no plans and plenty of free time for the first time in... A year? Maybe more?

There's a lot of reasons for what you're seeing, and it doesn't always feel good. *Hugs ya close.* Hopefully though, that does.
