Am I Missing Something, Contra? (Part 2) Plot twist: I re-subscribed to Contra Pro. Because if I’m going to question my entire existence on this platform, I might as well do it in HD with all the premium buttons unlocked 😂 So here we are: New profile. New projects. New branding case studies freshly uploaded like warm baguettes. I even went full “teacher’s pet” mode and actually engaged with the community, liked posts, commented, cheered people on, became social. (Yes, introverts, I fought for my life.) And after all that grinding, tweaking, polishing… my portfolio is officially fully updated, fully curated, and fully ready. At this point, I’ve done everything short of sending Contra a croissant bouquet 😂 So naturally, the question returns: Am I missing something, Contra? Or is this just the character-building arc?

Am I Missing Something, Contra? So here’s a fun little mystery. I’ve had my Contra profile for 8 months. Fully complete. Verified. Polished like a showroom car. Contra Pro for 4 straight months. Got “Featured On” three times. Top 10% of creatives. Availability updated so consistently you’d think I was clocking in for a shift. And yet… my inbox looks like a ghost town. No DMs. No inquiries. Just silence.. the kind that makes you wonder if you accidentally blocked the entire platform. And I thought.. Maybe the algorithm hates me? Maybe the planets are misaligned.. Maybe Contra’s matchmaking is drunk! Or.. am I actually missing something? So I did the dramatic thing: I wiped everything. Now I’m rebuilding from scratch! But honestly, I can’t help but wonder: Am I missing something, Contra?
