Posting online is hard while i know it’s important u get out there and show ur work if u want to be recognized and get money from comm work just about every social media app is toxic and full of shit which got me tired of Twitter, The algorithm on Instagram fucking sucks, Tiktok made me depressed and the people there are so overwhelming negative, plus my account fucking died anyway while having 10k followers my videos soon went to 300 to 600 views but lesser likes and no interactions and it hurt because it wouldn’t change even tho my art continuously improves so here is pretty chill but even then i’m still insecure posting online cuz i take it quite personal esp when im enthusiastic about a drawing only to do poorly online n yeah maybe im being too negative too and ungrateful as they say “draw for urself! Don’t care about likes!” it’s the only way for ur account to grow and it just feels better working hours on something and having people recognize that…Also an embarrassing note but i hardly follow anyone on social media cuz im shy even if its someone i REALLYY like i feel too insecure to follow but who knows what the fuck is up with me lol

Yeah, mainstream social media is really not a good place for artists (or anyone really.) I like more smaller communities like Newgrounds and some forum sites. The only more mainstream social media I use nowadays is just YouTube, but I never post videos or much really on there at all. I just use it to watch stuff and comment every now and then, and honestly I feel much better for it.

Ay me too! Honestly when i deleted all my accounts and took time to myself i never felt such relief and realizing how frustrated social media makes me and the reason behind most of my negativity esp once i got to take care of myself and while i have a secret account on tiktok [soley for edits cuz im hungry] im not even interested scrolling thru the fyp and hardly watch videos of rants n all but Youtube is actually chill i love watching my fav creators and eating snacks while i do so
