Kind of in a similar situation as well. My NSFW entry that I posted more than two weeks ago has not even reached 40 faves, and it's an image that I have planned for months and got a chance to do it for this contest. Not sure if it's because I wasn't the first one to do a yin yang concept or that I wasn't the first to do a high-angle view of a 69 sex position.

As for my other posts, I don't even expect them to reach 100 upvotes nor 100 faves for a long time or at all. As much as I like to do concept images, whether SFW or NSFW, sometimes, my dopamine gets hit so hard that I have to do "human on feral" content just to stabilize it.

It's not only you who has this issue.

I really love your post! Unfortunately, I feel like most people here, myself included, tend to favorite things that immediately catch their eye. Sometimes, even if I really like a post, I’ll only upvote it because I want to keep my favorites curated and don’t necessarily want everything I like to appear there. It’s also hard to pin down what people like, since everyone has different tastes.

For posts where the content or concept deserves more attention, especially contest entries, I wish there were a separate voting system instead of relying on favcount. I guess upvotes are meant to fill that role, though? It’s just a shame they don’t seem to have much practical impact.

Of course, that’s just my personal take. I also understand we only have a very small number of developers maintaining the whole site, so there are bigger priorities. Thank you for all the work you guys do!
