SO!
Yeah I'm selling my soul and making a NSFW twitter account for NOT-E.
I honestly think Newgrounds is a much better sight for art than Twitter with the ease of which I can upload and the content rating is something I think more social media sites should implement. However, I don't want to say I've fallen on rough times, but I have been struggling to save for some bills that will be coming in the near future, so I do want to get my art more out there and see if I can make a bit of money out of it.
My SFW accounts unfortunately don't make money anymore as I mainly focus on just what I want to make and don't focus too much on commissions anymore, but they are still encompass the stories and concepts that I'm passionate about which is why I upload to them more. Maybe if I can get a few sales on Twitter it'll help me save up more for some hospital bills. If not, I might be on the road to finding a part-time job on top of my full-time one. We'll see how that goes, and if something like that could even be possible. I'm cautiously optomistic about that prospect. Living paycheck to paycheck isn't fun and I'm sure everyone can relate to that. I love doing art, and I don't think I'll ever stop. Probably just go on brief hiatuses from NSFW art since it isn't mainly what I focus on. I hope to keep my NSFW art and persona separate from SFW one since NSFW feels more like a freelance gig where I make what others want to see me make. Vs. my SFW art that is just what I want to make.
We'll see how Twitter pans out. If it doesn't I might just delete it because that might be too many social media sites for me. Wish me luck! ^^

One thing i ever had with Twitter is that when i made my account there last year i didn't have any proper following, i was just settling for a new public. I'm not sure if it has to do with how you grow up with a community, but from my experience i only got tons of likes only in one specific tweet in which i made a unfinished Oneshot fanart with tons of hashtags in it.
It only worked because... well, probably at that time Oneshot was still a bit trendy. But out of the rest i only posted doodles and whatsoever, alongside screenshots of games i was playing.
None of these, however, got me any click, so basically no one noticed clearly.
At that point i gotten so tired that i felt like i was desperately trying to seek attention despite not having a following. No one commented on any of my tweets, no one retweeted at least 2-3 times, just nothing really happened. So i felt like Twitter has only become pretty much my personal microblog BUT after last few days since i said it i called it quits after discovering Mastodon.
Today i kind of disappreciate posting on big corporate social media platforms like that just to seek attention, i'd first rather start finding some peeps on more aggregable community sites like Newgronds, which is why i have been getting along this period.
By the way i'm not stopping you from using Twitter. All i've been telling here is just my experience so your mileage may vary.

No I get that. It's mainly the reason I stopped using Twitter years ago. It's just not for me and constantly trying to chase followers was just not for me. It's also why I prefer posting on my main SFW art accounts because I just post whatever I want to and whatever new projects I want to work on for my own stories. It has become a lot more fun since I realized chasing followers was just kind of a waste of time. I enjoy talking with others and sharing ideas rather than having a bunch of people click "like" on something I post.
The main reason I'm making a Twitter atm, is just because a lot of people are using it, and I hope I'll be able to sell some art in order to save up for some hospital bills I've accrued recently. I prefer places like Newgrounds or other sites to actually have connections with people. Plus, like I said, it has one of my favorite ways to upload with the content rating and everything.
