Summary of September ⚡

Another COTM run is behind me. Yes, I'm crazy enough to have done two before my one-year anniversary here. You'd think I had nothing to do, that I had such crazy ideas, but no. Work, responsibilities, and all that. But despite everything, I found time to create such a crazy amount of pictures.

This time, I felt much calmer and more confident. I chose just one style. Instead of experimenting, I chose comfortable creation. This worked really well for me. Putting out 20-30 posts a day wasn't much of a challenge, thanks to the LLM models. After all, everything here is AI-based, so why not?

Unfortunately, my enthusiasm didn't last very long. After half a month, my motivation to create in the current format began to gradually decline, leading to boredom and monotonous creation for the sake of creating. Nevertheless, my graphics turned out very well. I tried my best to maintain high quality and variety despite the large number of posts.

At its peak, it was... 36 posts a day. I know, a crazy amount. That happened over maybe two days. Overall, I tried to keep my posts above 20. This, of course, was when I was most motivated. Over the course of a month, the number of posts per day began to gradually decline. From 24 to 16, then 12, then 8, until I'm down to four now.

I also noticed a slight decline in likes on my posts, which made me quite discouraged from continuing at my current pace. On other side, one very satisfying thing was that my posts were appearing in Hot Gallery quite often.

September was a time of crazy record-breaking likes. What do you think about the fact that two posts surpassed 300 likes and one exceeded 500? That's unlikely to happen again.

I didn't start my COTM run at the beginning of the month, nor did I finish it. I think I started it on September 5th and finished it a few days ago from today. This didn't stop me from racking up quite many likes. I started with around 255k and ended up with around 312k. That's a lot. Unfortunately, I didn't track it.

Once again, I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful support. You've been there with me the entire time, and I'm so grateful.

It's not out of the question that I'll do it again someday, but I don't feel the need to do so at the moment and I probably won't touch it anytime soon.
