I used to feel somewhat the same
>"What's the point of putting in so much effort just for a chance at a gamble of what it feels like playing the lottery?"
The fix to this is to just stop caring.
Use drawing as an outlet, not as a means to give your life purpose.
Realize that you're not entitled to anything and if you want something, you have to put in time+effort to get it. You have to sacrifice the now for a possible future.
I mean, it's understandable that you get demoralized after witnessing the current artistic climate, but this is how it's done.
All the likes and attention in the world, won't make you feel better though.
Just draw for yourself.

>Just be your-fucking-self you fucking moron
Counter advice:
If your-fucking-self fucking sucks, lie.
That anon is probably some 18 y.o and kids are insecure as shit.
Show one teeny tiny weakness and you're fucking done.
Until the age of 25, a man should lie through his teeth about everything.
Don't matter the bullshit you spew, be confident about it. Teenagers will believe anything if you even fake confidence. And women are retarded anyway. They won't ever figure out your lies as long as you don't show an ounce of insecurity.
So, follow pornfags you like and say that you like it for the skill of the artist and that sexuality is a natural thing and stand your fucking ground no matter what.
