Growing online presents

That sounds really extreme amount of work to put in just to grow a sustainable youtube channel. i.e. you have enough patreons to cover your cost in making videos.

Buy a mic specific to this identity and don't show your face. Don't share stuff about your personal life.

doing that all the time is retarded
break it down and keep only whats effective

Social media is a massive grind, but the average person doesn't notice it since it's meant to be used persistently.

For the things I want to get across like my artwork or favorite niche game, with the exception of self-written literature, I technically get more exposure just by posting on Zig Forums. Whereas the same level of exposure, I'd need some years on social media (or to buy retweets, views, and follows).

thats because one of those is a closed platform and the other is a open one where anyone can freely see and comment on things. on the social medias no one sees your shit if they arent following you and even then the system will not show your shit to all the followers.

I hate to recommend it, but wouldn't Reddit be a better place to viral than 8ch?

Don't social media sites have APIs? You could write a script that automates the process so you don't have to log in and write each message individually.

I wouldn't know. When I said I get more exposure by posting on Zig Forums. I meant as a comparison to any usual platform.

A new account on YouTube, Twitch, or whatever will get 10-30 views, 0 comments on its own, and to get more you have to comment and link everywhere to get your name out there. (grind)

The same case for things like Deviantart.

But a webm to a Webm thread, or drawing in a draw thread. While you can't directly track view counts, good video or art will at least you get (You)s, an user will save it, and pretty sure at least few hundred lurkers will see it. E.g posting in a draw thread, and going somewhere like infinity.moe, I've gotten, "oh I've seen that."

If you just want to get your point across, inform, or entertain, then posting on Zig Forums is time efficient. If you're looking to make side money, it's tough luck besides maybe BTC/XMR donations (I've only known these for webapps and services like cock.li and invidio.us), but for good reason.

And that’s only because he once commented on his Minnesotan accent in a livestream a few years back.

The downside with shilling your stuff on an imageboard is that you associate your name with imageboards as well. Unless you keep a separate identity, someone five years later down the road will find out about how you were a prominent member of the evil white nationalist Pepe Trump-supporting antisemite Nazi website and make sure you get blacklisted from every industry. Reddit is a much more kosher option
