I had to remove my demo of Chain in The Sky from public viewing since it got frontpaged.
I appreciate the person who made the decision, but I prefer not having my demos featured since they weren't finished yet.
I'm perfectly fine with finished, full-length songs, but I might upload demos from time to time just looking for feedback, not frontpaging. Verbal feedback is rare for me and Newgrounds appears to be the only site where I could probably get that.
It's the one thing that determines whether or not I finish a track or scrap it. It's self-destructive, but having my art ignored always made me feel like I shouldn't have posted it at all and save my energy for better things- but I digress.
I guess I'm just afraid that once the demo is frontpaged, the traction it gets would be lost by the time it's actually finished. I'd rather just wait.
Sorry for the confusion, I'll republish the song when it's finished.

ay you shouldn't be so hard on yourself
I found frontpage is really helpful to receive feedback
your friends/followers might not have much to say because they already appreciate your work as is
imo maybe you need to collaborate with other creators to help share your work (you don't have to tho that is ultimately up to you)
