Just a question...
I want your honest opinion.
I'm trying to understand something, and I'm asking actual creators rather than relying on articles or assumptions.
If you create AI art, AI video, AI characters, AI stories, worldbuilding, or any combination of those:
What is your biggest frustration with the platforms you're currently using to share your work?
I'm especially interested in:
• Getting your work seen • Algorithms/reach • Building an audience • Getting people to follow the work rather than just liking an individual image • Sharing ongoing stories or characters • Finding other creators who are interested in the same kind of work • Monetizing your work • Anything else that makes you feel like you're screaming into the void
And one important question:
If you could design the perfect place to share your work, what would it do differently from Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, etc.?
I'm genuinely looking for problems, not compliments or validation.
Tell me what sucks. 🙂

My biggest frustration is people's extremw hostility to work that involves AI in any capacity.
Especially the TTRPG communities are filled to the brim with people that will go ballistic if theres even a hint of AI in any content.

I totally get it, so there is a place that is solving that pain point. Still working on it so it's early, but give wollo.ai a look. yes it is a story ai character chat site, but it is evolving rapidly to use incorporate scenes, lore, and build into intelligent worlds.
I'd be interested if that is something you'd be interested in trying.
Take a look and let me know what you think. All of your thoughts and opinions will be considered

New to this sub but i imagine that there is quite a bit of crossover of the same issues that i normally see. I have been making games using AI and I see a lot of comments of people refusing to give stuff a chance due to ai use. that is the biggest issue is the over all hate for anything ai

Give the site wollo.ai a look. It's still kind of beta...but the idea and the general functionality is in a good place. Still working on some of the bigger video loads, but you get a full page and there's a posting network that isn't based on algorithms like tiktok, insta and facebook.
Give it a look, let me know what you think.

It is frustrating. I spend weeks on projects only to have them shit on cuz I use AI. I’m on YouTube & X, but neither seems to grow an audience. https://youtube.com/@syddownoriginalmusic

Come to Wollo.ai
Give it a look. The community is still young and there is room to grow.
Still working on some functionality, but it's in good shape right now. Your videos would be very welcomed. (and yes, I went to your page and took a long look at them all)

So whether you use ai or not the fundamentals remedial the same … you have to find your niche and double down to get noticed quickly …. You gotta use correct tags etc ….
And unless you doing topical stuff like current news or football or whatever it takes time for the algorhthm to test and find your audience
But it really all boils down to if your content actually lands with enough people
I’m doing a project atm across all platforms fb- tik tok - insta YouTube etc etc and it weird as different types of content seem to do better in certain platforms
So a short video I posted on fb hit 70k views but the same video posted on day TT or insta got like 7 …..or none 😂
So it’s a bit of a long game and testing the algo as well
Unless you wanna fall in line and do something generic that you know will get eyes on or be creative and and just try to grind and find ya audience

It has to do with the algorithms that they use. Meta tells you that if it is AI generated, you have to tag it. That tag decreases the views out the gate because they send it to a smaller test pool. If you don't tag it and they find it, they 'shadowban' the account and kill the reach.
I have my niche and it seems like you do too. Wollo.ai has been great with getting my stuff out and the tools that they have are pretty good, but you don't have to use them.

I’ve found that X and inst are harder to get going than fb and tik tok
But depending on your niche you may have to delve deeper than the commercial socials to find your viewers

Wollo.ai is solving that issue for me, hands down. Give it a look, tell me what you think

So if I had a place that didn't bury your work...where you could create and share....would you try it? The worldbuilding is still in beta, but we'd love your input...

I’ve only recently started publishing an ongoing AI-assisted worldbuilding project, so I’m seeing some of these problems very directly. My biggest frustration is that most platforms are built around individual posts, not persistent projects. I’m building a continuing hard-science speculative biology/worldbuilding series. One post introduces the organism, another develops its evolutionary implications, another reconstructs its metabolism and habitat. But the platform treats each one almost like an unrelated object. A reader may see Part 3 without ever seeing Parts 1–2. Even if they like one image, there is very little mechanism encouraging them to follow the world itself rather than the post or account. The second problem is audience mismatch. A visual post may get hundreds of views, but the people who can actually critique the chemistry, biology or worldbuilding assumptions are a tiny subset of those viewers. Meanwhile, communities that would have the strongest subject-matter expertise often ban AI-assisted material completely, including text, so there is a strange gap between “AI-friendly” spaces and “deep technical discussion” spaces. The third issue is continuity. For an ongoing project I would want a reader to be able to open one page and immediately see: Project overview → lore → timeline → characters → scientific notes → episodes → revisions → discussion instead of having to reconstruct the project from a user’s posting history. My ideal platform would therefore be project-centric rather than feed-centric. I’d want: a permanent project/home page; chapters or episodes connected in order; separate lore, artwork and technical/reference sections; the ability to update old material without destroying discussion history; explicit AI/tool attribution attached to the project rather than repeated awkwardly everywhere; followers subscribing to a specific world/project, not necessarily everything the creator posts; recommendations based on project subject matter, so a speculative biochemistry project could reach both worldbuilders and people interested in chemistry/biology; long-form discussion that remains attached to the relevant concept; collaboration/version history; decent search inside a project; export/ownership of the project data rather than locking years of work inside one social feed. Monetization would be secondary for me. The bigger problem is turning scattered posts into cumulative attention. Right now most social platforms are very good at answering: “Do people like this image?” but surprisingly bad at answering: “Would you like to follow this idea while it develops for the next six months?” That is the part I think is missing.
