I've been wondering about these questions but haven't been able to find them anywhere else, so
Just out of curiosity:
How long did it take you personally to get scouted?
How many songs or artworks did you post before you got scouted?
How much do you feel like you've improved since you started?
(Include any flexes you want)

Since this dates back to 2011, which used a mod-centric scouting system unlike the one we have now, my responses will probably differ greatly.

Immediately after my first upload. Scouting was uniquely to determine if a song was original and not stolen or ripped.

Songs, just the one. Artworks, 4 (as is still the practice today).
How much do you feel like you've improved since you started?
Listen to my first submission, and then listen to my more current stuff; I think it'll tell you everything you need to know.

Coolio, very interesting to know how different the scouting system used to be
And yeah there's definitely a big difference between your first and your most recent lol

How many songs or artworks did you post before you got scouted?probably more than 5, I deleted everything from 2020 a while back so you won't be able to find them. I'm actually kinda surprised I hadn't been de-scouted at the time, those tracks were terrible.
Yeah I should probably delete some of my older tracks too, I wasn't trying to improve at the time so I just threw out something random like 16 times LOL
How much do you feel like you've improved since you started?A lot, surprisingly. I'm still really bad at layering sounds but I'm pretty confident in my composing skills at the moment. I'm also able to deconstruct an entire song in my head and I can understand and make sense of what's going on with the rhythms and melodies and the arrangement and it's like, so cool to be listening to a song and hear something I like and then being able to incorporate it into my own music in some way.
That's a really cool skill to have, from my experience in other art related stuff it's really nice to be able to get to a point where you can hear and understand the individual elements in something you like
Maybe one day I'll be able to do that too with music
