@Devann I have played/liked some of your levels already and I'm having a good time! This situation happens with content creators in general (Indie games, social media, art as examples). It's unfortunate that most content gets buried, I understand the feeling as a fellow Mario Maker 2 level creator.
I believe Metroid Mike 64 got the attention due to having a big enough following on twitter. I started his world and I'm enjoying the level design so far. It's cool to see a traditional level focused world get some recognition!
@60frames-please Thanks for checking out my levels! I started playing through Incarta's levels and the other 2 you recommended. Definitely some quality courses that deserved more attention than they received (I gave them likes/hearts).
I agree with @Shadownin64 on how levels are discovered. It's just not good enough for traditional levels to get traction/exposure.
Endless Challenge encourages short/easy levels as, players care more about winning fast to increase their high score.
Most players will only bother to look for courses in the popular courses tab and... short/refreshing/kaizo/music/troll levels get all the attention. Detailed search can help to find specific levels but, what about searching by level name? No Mario Maker 2 bookmark site to get around entering level codes?
As for the lack of updates... I'm guessing they cut it short in favor of developing Mario Maker 3 in the future.
I have a 9 course Super World ID: LHF-VC0-XVF (all levels are above 10% clear rate). I stopped making new courses after my last course got knocked off the popular tab into obscurity. I had fun creating unique levels with as much detail/fun as I could but, fighting for exposure was just too much. I did learn to make accessible/fun level design and random endless users still seem to enjoy my creations.
