feeling guilty, deleted my #ello account because I never used it, don't like the web or app interface, and the community seemed exclusive.
I really wanted to make it work as I was an early user but it just did not take.
@Thehatter Elitist, right. That was the impression I got from it too back in the day. No need to feel guilty I think, because even though I am not an artist, places like deviantart.com would always be more popular for paint and photography and there are other more well known dedicated sites for other creative endeavours that actually get noticed. Medium.com for writing (which is what I use), vimeo.com for HD indie video and there's bandcamp.com / soundcloud to sell music if that's what one does.
@Thehatter It hasn't turned out how I thought either and it definitely serves a niche but it seems to work for them which I suppose is OK.
