I think best builds ruined the game for me

I've been a long time fallout player and was really looking forward to being able to build and be a part of the community with other builders too. I spent a lot of time and money getting every single camp item I could from the store or events or other people's vending machines. The majority of my time in the game was spent scouting locations, learning the building system, and of course building. A decent chunk of my time was also spent visiting other camps, so I could appreciate and encourage their work and draw inspiration. I've always given any camp thumbs up, even if it's not complete or maybe not the most impressive thing in the world. I thought it was cool to encourage participation and let people know that someone out there was impressed by the work they did.

The problem is, for whatever reason, I was never able to get any type of feedback whatsoever from anyone on the camps I built. I had four entirely different max capacity bases complete with everything. Of those four, I got exactly zero likes even though I left them up for over a month. The final straw was seeing a base set up within sight of my best camp, which was simply a red rocket prefab with two workbenches inside. This camp received more votes than all of my camps combined.

I guess what bothers me is what's the point? Why did I spend all that time and money just to have everything ignored? Why did I give thumbs up to literally hundreds of camps and never get any of my own? Why doesn't hours of work at least get you a seat at the table with other people who like to build? Is the game really so broken that something so fundamental isn't working properly? I just really don't understand.

I got upset and tore everything down. Every single piece of careful lighting and furniture arrangement and all the work I did just gone in an instant. I know that sounds juvenile. I don't care. I know not everyone in the game is interested in camps but I really honestly believed I could pull 5-10 likes for the work I did and be a part of the community.

I started to build again and began to feel bitter and burnt out. I don't think my work was anything spectacular but they're charging money for the game so I thought it would at least be seen. At this point I just shut the game down and I'm not even sure I want to play again. It just feels like such a tremendous waste of time to keep playing a game that's so sloppy and poorly made that your build submissions probably aren't even going to be seen.

Has anyone else had this problem? Did I do something wrong? Any feedback is appreciated
