Thanks, this is an uplifting article. The part about expecting an uprise of views being unrealistic and to be persistent helped.
I'm going to try some of these tips.

I will say, however, that the first time I've gone on any social networking site like Youtube and Fanfic net, I've gotten very popular WITH an ACTUAL UPRISE OF VIEWS AND SUBSCRIBERS.
Then something bad always happens and I have to restart, usually resulting in internet isolation.
Guess that's just normal.

Considering that I used to have several times the views on Deviantart than I have now, a discouraging pattern on the other restarted accounts, I now have to face what so many others have already endured.

I will try to be patient and persistent. Thanks again. :)

I have over 17,000 views :D personally, I didn’t expect it to get that high so fast. Thank you for asking :D

Why the hell would you need to start over?
Like... the only reason I'd see to start over is a ban or something like that.

Y'now, thinking about it.... You have a point there. You're right.

It's actually quite personal why I restarted. I would not like to post my life on the internet, so I was vague about "bad things." It usually isn't for a silly reason, either. I've restarted only once here and i hope it will be the last time i restart.
If I were to explain my actions, that would be exposing things that I want to keep to myself and not on a screen.

I tried to be vague on purpose, to sum it all up.

Thank you for replying. I always appreciate it. :)

Oop sorry 'bout butting in but I know how you feel. I've skipped accounts on deviantart about 5 times now, and this one seems to be the contender for the longest I've had one: but maybe that's because I hardly have any friends here now, so I have no problems to really run into.

Sometimes it's good to just try to do your own thing though, to not let people know where your account is and to start fresh.

the worst part about hopping accounts is doing it with a gaming platform like steam, I've rebought games atleast three times now
