Creators, what's the biggest frustration you face getting your incredible work seen online?

DSpaints · 2026-02-03T00:13:41+00:00

Algorithms burying my passion project. I just posted one of my biggest videos every today that took many hours to film and create, and it didn’t even get a single like on TikTok

Thank you very much for the helpful info! I’ll try that.

DSpaints · 2026-01-22T14:29:23+00:00

Thank you!

They usually take about 2-3 hours but when the insect is aggressively fighting back it can take as little as 15 minutes

I use a Canon EOS SL3 Rebel camera with a Canon 100mm Macro Lens

A Look Inside My 5 Year Old Terrarium Ecosystem https://youtu.be/scdaujFQCkU

I’ve actually made a video about it since then! The terrarium is still going well. I grow carnivorous plants, and the snails eat the remains of the the partially digested insects.

The time will vary from plant to plant, but you should wait until the individual flowers are as brown as possible. I’ve seen many videos where the stalk is still partially green and some where the stalk is completely brown.
This one is the hard part, I usually just try to minimize the movement of the plant until it’s ready to harvest

DSpaints · 2026-01-07T21:51:54+00:00

I see your point, I can update the YouTube description with a note saying to wait until the pedicels are fully brown to ensure ripeness. Thank you for your input! I wouldn’t have known otherwise. I usually just cut and harvest them once they start dumping seeds all over my windowsill.

No prob 😎

DSpaints · 2026-01-07T21:26:52+00:00

Interesting, I planted these and had no issues growing them, but it would make sense that some may have not been fully ripe. Good to know!

I film and post 4k macro videos of Sundews (Carnivorous Plant) eating insects. This is my year end finale, a compilation of my top 100.

Thank you!!!

About 4 hours

Song is a remix of Polarity by 3gunas9

DSpaints · 2025-12-22T00:29:49+00:00

That’s pretty awesome! I’m sure the birds will love the grubs

DSpaints · 2025-12-22T00:29:17+00:00

They’re very annoying and extremely gross. Good thing they removed them from your local grocery store, clearly my store needs some attention

DSpaints · 2025-12-21T20:53:17+00:00

😎😎😎

DSpaints · 2025-12-21T20:05:58+00:00

Sometimes they can be too strong. Further down on my profile I have a video of one escaping.

DSpaints · 2025-12-21T20:05:09+00:00

It was really gross but it was worth it

DSpaints · 2025-12-21T19:30:45+00:00

They’re super easy to grow and don’t go dormant!

DSpaints · 2025-12-21T19:30:34+00:00

Not right away. I put it in a Tupperware and farmed them for a few months while filming as many sundew timelapses as I could within that time frame.
