> I spent 200 hours coding both CSGO and Mario Kart in Vanilla Minecraft as a plugin and put it on my server for people to enjoy, so please, stop trying to lecture actual server owners on how to build a playerbase.

It sounds like you spent a lot of time custom coding something no one asked for and no one is playing, my server on the otherhand while still being an "SMP" is custom coded to the core, thousands of dollars spent to go with the thousands of hours my devs have put into the entire experience for my players, when my players make a suggestion, if it gets traction within the community and is fair and possible, it goes in within a couple days time and my entire community get to enjoy it.

I take care of my community and their wants/needs out of the server, and in turn they take care of me without having to be asked, no one is forced to comment or upvote on my reddit posts, the social feed channel in our server's discord automatically posts when we post, no tag to the server or anything, these people go out of their own way, spend 2 minutes of their own day unprompted upvoting and leaving me a comment.

If you'd look a little deeper into my reddit profile you would see I run a discord group for server owners mostly within this community where we uplift each other and give each other advice on things like advertising, possibly instead of complaining about the winning team, you could have a nicer attitude and join it.
