A buddy told me the other day, “Divya, making content isn’t just making content. Sometimes you literally throw your whole soul into it.” Hearing him say that hit home because honestly, every single creator gets it. An idea hits you, you think about it, write it down, scrap it, rewrite it, and try to tweak it just a little more… that’s literally the daily grind for us. ❤️
Sometimes even a tiny post takes hours to make. You just want whatever you’re feeling inside to actually hit the person watching. When it’s finally ready, you get that genuine grin on your face. You’re sitting there like, “Yeah… I really nailed it this time.”
Then you post it, and the waiting game begins. You’re checking your phone every two minutes—did it get views, any likes, did anyone comment? But when you worked so hard and the views just aren’t showing up, it feels so heavy inside. You don’t say anything out loud, you just set your phone down. But that one thought keeps bugging you—“I put so much love into this, why did nobody watch it?” 🥺
What hurts the most is when you know deep down that you actually did a killer job. You love the post yourself. You’re sure it’s gonna hit people right in the feelings. But when you get radio silence, you stop doubting the post and start doubting yourself. You start thinking, “Am I just bad at this?” “Do people hate my stuff?” Those thoughts mess with your head big time.
And honestly, views DO matter. People can say “views don’t matter” all they want, but when you put your time, energy, and real emotions into something, you want people to see it, get it, and give you some credit. Sometimes a single nice comment is all it takes to give you the push to keep going.
But low views don’t mean your stuff was trash. Sometimes the timing was off, sometimes the algorithm didn't push it to the right people, and sometimes good content just takes a while to catch on. Don't question your whole talent over one post that flopped.
My friend said to me, “Sometimes I genuinely just wanna quit everything. But then a fresh idea pops into my head, and I’m like, alright, let’s build again.” Honestly, that’s the coolest thing about being a creator. You get sad, you get bummed out, you completely break down… but you still get up the next day and try to create something fresh. ✨
So maybe your post didn’t blow up today. Maybe nobody dropped a comment or gave you props. But that doesn’t mean your effort went down the drain. You turned an idea into something real, gave your feelings a voice, and had the guts to share it with the world—that’s huge on its own. ❤️
And one day, when you look back at your old posts, you’ll remember the days when your views were dead low. You’ll remember how gutted you felt, but you still chose not to quit. You’ll probably smile and go, “Man, I’m so glad I didn’t give up back then.”
So if your views are down today, let it sting a bit. You’re human, it’s gonna get to you. Just don’t tie your self-worth to a view count. Views go up and down, but your creativity is yours forever.
Because a creator’s real win isn’t just going viral. The real win is when you get zero views, feel completely crushed, and still look at yourself and say—
“Whatever… come on, let’s make the next one.” ❤️🔥

Wow, great line! I just gave you my first gem, and I still can’t believe it.
Wow, that means so much to me, thank you! 🎉
Welcome! Wait, I actually gave this? I honestly can’t believe it myself!
🤣真的
Haha fr
didi, what's gem?
bro I reached 900downloads
& bro why are you not signing up in APIC-Web?

187 rank for a reason.

@xulingfeng see this lol. this and that one short too.
India's media day by day 📈📈🖐️🤚
I watched it, but I couldn’t understand what was going on, and I couldn’t follow the audio either. Also, how did Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) suddenly pop up? 😂
Anmol, what would Xulingfeng do by knowing about our media? He barely knows our language, let alone understand the language used in this edit.
I have an edit that might help Xulingfeng understand it. Maybe!
Ahh, it’s really sad to see this. Different people, different fates. All kinds of things happen in this world. We can only cherish what we already have. Some people don’t know they’re blessed; the things you take for granted are exactly what many others long for. 😔
ATLOCK v5 to be released tomorrow 🫣
We should help people in need, at least in whatever small way we can. These days, people say that anyone can pretend to be poor and scam others, making it difficult to identify those who genuinely need help. And yes, that can happen. But look at these children. Can't you see that they need things too, just by looking into their eyes?
Children are so innocent, after all. There is something special about the innocence in their eyes. We shouldn't let our fear of being deceived stop us from helping someone who genuinely needs our help.
didi, ATLOCK v5 is set to be released tomorrow
kal exam se jyada toh atlock v5 ka tension ho rha hai
I put a lot of hardwork to build it.
I want it to perform well.
I totally agree. It’s easy to worry about scams, yet children’s innocence cannot be faked. Help within our means
Yeah Lingfeng.
And Anmol Good luck! Aur aap exam ki bhi achhe se taiyari kar lena, warna kal aapko mushkil ho sakti hai.
aap, aapko.
now I'm feeling like this:
being called aap and aapko by IITian working @ microsoft.
absolute aura...
LOL didi why you said my aap? 🫡
If you don’t get a great score on the exam, your computer will be taken away for one semester 😄
Hahaha, don’t say that, Lingfeng! It’s Anmol, after all.
I just used the word “aap” casually. I thought it sounded nice, and honestly, it suits someone with 1K+ downloads even better, doesn’t it? Your Aura ++++ not mine
By the way, whose exam is tomorrow?
Social studies.
I'm topper in geography, civics, economics but failure in history.
Haha, so you’re a top student! As a slow learner, I feel a little sad for myself 😂
Study hard on history. History helps us see clearly(学史可以明智). Humans keep repeating things that happened in the past. So learning history is also a way to study the future.
Anmol means priceless, so imagine how rare he is! He started a company at just 13. Imagine what he’ll be doing by the time he’s my age!
Anyway, I’m not really into history. It’s so boring I prefer eco and geo. I have zero interest in studying the French Revolution hahaha! 🤣(But I like my own history haha)
I’m not a fan of number-based subjects like economics and math.😇 I could keep reading history textbooks for hours on end. 😂
after your this comment.
I want to be in Forbes list competing with top billionaires at your age.
🤣☠️🔥
and yeah I hope I will be trying to be something till your age.
maybe next Linus, Elon, Bill Gates or if not Founder & CEO then at least Sundar Pichai.
If I had liked history, I would have become a District Collector instead of an engineer🤣
But unfortunately I like Maths lol.
Haha what? But when it comes to my age, you need to work even harder. I’m forever 18. Let’s count, you’ve still got 5 years. Keep it up 😂
@xulingfeng i love history but not mughal empire, battle of plassey, and blah blah I love to read and learn about geopolitical history like rise of germany in world war, downfall, cold war, collapse of USSR, world war 1, 2 more topics
but reading and learning about boring stuffs is uhh frustrating plus in india, history is marks subject means if I didn't scored good in history overall SST marks drop down( because 45% is history and rest is rest)
Haha, good luck with your Social Studies total score! 😂
I think I can score 55+ out of 80 and in a scale of 100(including internal), I may score 70/100.
tomorrow is last exam I'm happy because of it, and stressed and tensed because of v5 release date(12october tomorrow and also due to a system architect with 20+year experience)
Studying under CBSE is already tough, and on top of that, they deduct marks too. Well, I didn’t study under CBSE; I studied under ICSE, but I know how tough it can be. Still, try your best to score 100/100! As Prashant Kirad says, “जोश मीटर हाई रखो!”
And good luck for v5
whatttt In CBSE teacher says you are thankful you are in CBSE you guys are lucky ICSE is much harder, & now a ICSE student is saying CBSE is hard which is hard?
like in pressure bias no one is near CBSE difficulty but in academics chapter depth concept bias ICSE is more hard right? or it's not the reality?
Honestly, I don't really know the answer to this. First, I studied under the Gujarat Board, and I thought that was hard. Then I switched to RBSE, which felt harder than the Gujarat Board. After that, I studied under CBSE for a year, and it felt MUCH, MUCH harder. Then I studied under ICSE from 7th to 12th grade, and my soul literally left my body.
IITian for a reason. ☠️
I'm cooked if a IITian is saying CBSE is harder then "ab mera kya hoga the end"
The difficulty level of a board depends entirely on the student's preparation. Degrees hold limited significance; many students achieve an All India Rank despite studying through state boards.
by the way didi, after 12 october if anyone ask me "aakhir akhouri systems ne banaya hi kya hai" toh bus ek app ka naam lena hai ATLOCK (v5)...
ATLOCK v5 ---- one of the greatest security suite built on python.
Love that alternate path! Math is really powerful 😄
if they take away my laptop.
I'm 50% finished. it's my another half.
TECHNOLOGY+ANMOL=COMPLETE ANMOL
Do you know about Dhruv Rathee?
Yeah german shepherd.
It's brutal when that happens, but don't treat a "flopped" post as a dead artifact!
When a deep-dive post doesn't get traction initially, it usually means the entry barrier was too high for a fast-moving feed. A few ways to give it a second life:
The effort you put into structuring the ideas is never wasted. It just needs a different door for readers to walk through. Keep at it!
Really very informative information thanks!! 🙏🏻
Sometimes, it’s simply not the right time. But sometimes, it’s just that the audience is smaller — and more engaged.
I’ve written articles that didn’t get many views, but generated a lot of thoughtful comments. And every comment was proof that someone had actually read the article all the way through.
Those views matter, too, no matter how few they are.
This post is so genuine and so true at the same time OMG. You can tell this is what you actually think, nothing sugarcoated or held back, and I really like that. You don't see many posts like this.
And yes, views do matter. When someone genuinely creates something, it becomes part of them. It's personal. So when people say good things about it, it feels like they're complimenting you directly. And when someone criticizes it unfairly (and unfairly is the key word here), it feels like a punch in the gut.
I've had both, and luckily more of the positive kind. I'm really glad this post got so many reactions and so much great feedback. I know how awesome that feels. Enjoy it!
Seriously, your writing is special. Just keep doing it. 👏
Thanks a lot! 🙃
I think your last reply — “Send a message!!” — is actually the most important line here. 😄
Views measure distribution, not necessarily value.
In software we see the same thing all the time. You can spend weeks building something technically beautiful and nobody notices it. Then some tiny thing you made in an afternoon suddenly gets all the attention. 😂
So I stopped treating attention as a quality metric a long time ago.
Build it. Publish it. Learn from it. Then build the next one.
Sometimes the audience arrives late. The important part is making sure there’s something worth finding when they finally arrive. 😉
I’m a big fan of your content, and I know I haven’t been able to keep up with it lately. Honestly, I feel really bad about it 😔 But I promise I’ll definitely catch up soon. ❤️
Hey, absolutely no reason to feel bad about that 😄❤️
You never owe a creator your attention. Read something when you genuinely have the time and curiosity for it — that means much more to me than someone reading just because they feel they should.
Besides… according to your own post, if my content gets ignored, I’m supposed to say “Whatever… come on, let’s make the next one,” right? 😂
So I’m just following your advice. 😉
hey, I don't know you remember me or not
but I reached 900downloads.
Didi, I reached 900downloads
moving toward 1000downloads
I totally relate. Sometimes if I share something that feels like a "whatever" post, It explodes. Other times, I'll spend days on something and no one sees it. I will never understand. 🤣
Lol Fr!
The important thing to remember is that we are here to connect and share. One person solidly resonating with a post means more than 500 passers-by. ✨️
So true!! 😀
It’s rare for things to work out from just one post. 😿
Especially as software engineers, I think the most important part isn’t just building something once. It’s continuously improving it over time.
That’s a mindset I want to keep with me too. 🚀
Bro I reached 900downloads.
Cool, di. This post was really good. Been there.
And this is the recipe you wanted.
I'm sharing drive link, its an image recipe and then a video that was shared by hocco's facebook. Enjoy di! 😅
The painful part is spending 3 hours on a post, getting 17 views, then watching a random post you wrote in 30 seconds somehow take off.
Algorithms have the same sense of humor as production.
