I'm getting tired of making generally bad OC

I’ve made quite a few posts to /c/risa that are actual OC. I’m either horrible at humor, the timing is bad, or it doesn’t work for whatever reason. Extremely low effort memes? Lots of upvotes. If I do high effort stuff that takes an hour or more, I’m just discouraged by the lack of even comments.

So, to tie this all up - is it worth a latinum bar to keep trying to do OC? Do you all even want that (seriously)?

    More ironic that the cringe instance who claims to follow the star trek values is whining about seeing the show about the values they claim to like

    If you dont like star trek and cringe, what the fuck are you doing on the cringe star trek site?

    God, its like looking into a mirror where your reflection has bad taste

    Kuvwert,

    Op I have laughed at many of your memes, I’m terrible at interacting. Keep em coming

    wildginger,

    Make posts you think are funny, and post them so people who agree with you laugh.

    No one actually gives a shit about upvotes. Its a millisecond dopamine spike. You will forget the successes in hours. Let them pass you by, alongside the dungers.

    Make things cause its fun and funny to make them.

    Every professional funny person, from stand up comedians, to humour columnists, to daily comic strip cartoonists, has to hone their craft. And even once they do, not every thing they produce is going to be a banger.

    Figure out what is funny to you, and work at making stuff you think is funny. There’s a good chance that there’s an audience that exists that will share your sense of humour.

    Got to hone my meme craft so that I can bring much honor to my house. 💪

    I checked your post history to see if your memes were dank but I didn’t see much OC?

    jawa21,

    All of the gifs/edits are. I deleted a couple because of bad hosting issues.

    bionicjoey,

    Nobody wants OC for OC’s sake. They want entertaining content. Effort is irrelevant. Frankly I looked at your post history and your risa posts aren’t that funny to me. Which makes sense if you’ve been forcing yourself to make them. Humour should come naturally.

    if its a chore you shouldnt be doing it. it should be fun!

    for me its a bursting outlet for my nonsense.. not reeallly considering the audience when im creating stuff. i just need to get it out of my brain before it burns a hole.

    ive also been surprised by some of the easiest stuff garnering the most attention.

    alllllsoo.. ive noticed in the verse this kinda of delayed reaction. ive gotten posts that suddenly gain attention months later as the fediverse does its thing, and the content gets refreshed out there..somewhere.
