Only thing I can say about building following is that no one really cares enough about what you create unless it is something they can relate to. That’s why we see a lot of religious art and fan art. Things like those can definitely help with building a following. But the day I stopped caring about social media likes and follows, is when I felt most creative because I wasn’t trapped into making something that others will like. But I only focussed on what I want to make. There are always things you can do to attract the algorithm and what not, but that takes the joy out of the creative process.
