On reddit I can only get a lot of upvotes on really simple work. If its something thats intricate and took a long time and has complexity no one seems to appreciate it or understand it. Just happened to me again. Can anyone explain this?

Redditors are just like that

Nobody cares about how much time it takes, because more Time doesn't mean better.
Also, posting on Reddit is for faggots

I spent 150-200 hours man. I worked for a month on average 4 hours a day and I get a handful of likes and no shares and zero comments. I'm calm, but disappointed.

redditors are extremely dumb animals. you can make something simple and they will love it as long as it's shiny. if you want them to love something complex you also have to make it shiny. or maybe just add something simple and shiny to your complex scene to trick them into liking it.
if all else fails, stick a ukrainian flag on it and/or subtly imply that you're a female, guaranteed updoots.

If you're looking for positive input from others, your effort into something is meaningless unless it appeals to others. It doesn't matter of you spent a lifetime making something, if that something isn't appealing, nobody is obligated to like it.
that's the truth. however reddit is full off drooling retards, don't pine for their approval

Yeah one time i also spent a month or so doing some complex scene that took a lot of time to make, probably a month or so too, and then this fkin glass of coke that took a day to create while bored went and triped the attention from the people, i was so infuriated.

That's how democracy works when your community welcomes normalfags.
What they don't understand is for no-life nerds and what they can't relate to is for nazis. What they understand is upvoted, cool, and then comment "Disney? Pixar? Why is this man not hired???".

Welcome to reality, it's bizarre how mediocre posts get so much attention while creative posts are ignored.

why even bother posting to social media? seriously. the opinions of people you wouldn't take advice from should take 0 space in your head

Oh so it turns out upvotes on reddit are a product of US Federal funding and not whether or not a post is good.

NTA but I'd like to build a following on social media so I can leverage it to make money with my art

There's a weird phenomenon online where if something is made to look easy it goes further. Maybe its a kind of narcissism or greed. It appeals to a fantasy of doing it yourself.

The only people who understand art are artists. Everyone else is just pretending

non artists don't understand how much effort a work took, they only see the end result and see a magical thing.
You also need to get into the mindset of optimizing your workflow.
Nobody will pay you to being the guy that takes average effort and speed.
Companies will pay you more if you can deliver quality at much cheaper/faster time than your competition.
Figure out what's the thing that take you a month to make and seek for alternative methods that take less time and effort.

Same thing happens on twitter.
This is the reality of presenting things to laypeople. They don't know or care about the process of what you're doing, and so they aren't going appreciate anything they don't immediately understand as looking cool.

Make a few more characters with the same basic setup. Put them in scenes together and animate them. Like 10-60 second tiktok/youtube short vertical aspect ratio animations. People will love it.
