Not to brag but all I do is write absurdly long opinionated essays formatted in markdown and they consistently take off and stay getting notes for months after. You don't need to learn CSS. You don't have to be a CSS clown to get attention.

But also? ALSO? Maybe it's time to reframe what you prioritize in using social media. Do things because they are meaningful or fun for you. Not because you just want attention. Doing things just for attention isn't a way to live trust me speaking as someone who absolutely loves attention. If it's not meaningful or fun to you, the attention isn't worth it.

thank you for saying this, it's something I believe with my whole heart as well! when you post/make what you want, your audience may be slower to find you but they will be YOUR audience, the highest quality one you could ask for :)
