Upvotes mean a lot to Me
And new people do need recognition

Yeah, smaller creators need encouragement to stick around more

@Boeing727200F wow i never thought of it like that

Upvotes, good, Downloads, yum yum 😋

It just gives you motivation to do something.

Stop caring about upvotes and build what you want, when you want, because you want. Get help on a build if need be.
Just don't smear shit on yourself by breaking the rules.

Depends on what it is. And what the response in the comments is, if any.
I rarely get actual feedback.

If you like upvotes or not, what I recently discovered was that the more you give, the more you'll get. If you are known to upvote even if the craft is not entirely to your taste, you will recieve kindness is return. 🧐

Obviously you should build for your own fun, but upvotes show you made others have fun too
Which then leads to a difference in expectations and reality, as the amounts of each type of fun mentioned per build aren't the same

Many upvotes or nah, it doesn't matter to me. I just want to show my work :v

I like upvotes as it shows people care about my builds.
Most of the time I rarely ever get above 10 upvotes on builds. Also they show what builds people like. Like for example my silly block planes I’m starting to dislike as people LOVE them and they get more recognition then builds I spend time on. Meanwhile the builds I like get 3 upvotes. It really shows that people care enough about something I made that they will give me worthless internet dopamine shots.

i love upvotes

Votes have no value to me. All of my posts on this site are for fun or to build structures that have not been built. I am a tank builder, but I always vote for new builders. (tank structures) I don't vote for airplanes because they don't interest me, but I still vote for good, quality, labor-intensive structures or help people who have problems with structures. But my priority is still tank construction.

NOTE: (to new users) Don't pay much attention to votes, your main goal should be to improve yourself. The most important thing is the downloads. You should be happy that many people downloaded and tried it.
