> Was a beginner artist, drawing almost every day
> Start to post arts at social media
> Get frustrated with "muh algorithm" and "le imaginary haters"
> Stop drawing for yeare, erase all social media and works
> Find old IRL friends that draw and start to interact with them
> Joy of drawing and will to practice start to return, even having few time to practice

Is right to say that social media is destroying the creative potential of the artists, even the hobbyists?

Some reasons i can list are:
> Unecessary distractions, impostor syndrome
> Necessity of posting complete arts every single day (Classic artists took even years to do their masterpieces)
> Fear of testing different techniques and themes (the slop of the moment because muh likes)

What are your opinions arround this question?

>and "le imaginary haters"
how do i make them go away no one has hate mailed me but I keep expecting them to be there

Unplug from internet for a while, it can help you fren

people need validation and feedback, and it's best if they get it from friends, mentors, family, etc
if you don't have those, you'll start to look for it in numbers and all sorts of pointless shit

>>7690212 (OP)
It's really just all about mindset, anon. You can have that internet life the same as an IRL one, you just have to have the same expectations of it.

its a thing that happens with not just art , comparisons and need for validation , imposter syndrome , need to comply to some invisible boundaries.
its good to overcome such problem in ur life regardless if u an artist or not .

Everyone that says this kind of thing has really ugly, uninteresting work. You just aren't good.

>>7690212 (OP)
Yes, imaginary numbers and meaningless metrics have stifled a lot of creativity in the grave as people smother any interest they had in the hopes of bigger number. I don't know anyone who'd contest that.

When you start to think of your own work as content, as just asset production, as any other dickless corporate social metric speak you've already lost a giant part of your soul. It's no wonder that the endless oceans of mediocre fanart have been so readily contested by AI.

>Social media destroyed artists?
Maybe. Ever since everyone moved to twitter everything went to shit, not like it was any good back in tumblr, but it was a completely different feeling. I still miss going into random artists tumblr pages, seeing it all decorated with backgrounds and donation buttons. 2016 was the last good year before everything went to shit and trannies and moralfags just barged in everywhere online destroying any fun that people had sharing their work.
The whole race for likes and attention was always a thing though, but if you're just a soulless husk obsessed more with numbers than creating are you even an artist? You did good for logging off for a while.

>moralfags
This, zoomers ruined everything.

>>7690212 (OP)
Not just creativity, but pretty much everything.
Social media is extremely cancerous and imo one of the biggest mistakes in human history

>moralfags ruinned everything
sure but we circled back so hard that now if you're not a full on hedonist and don't jerk off in public, you're deemed a moralfag, because the ones who wanted to have "fun" pushed boundaries until they attracted people who have no concept of boundaries

>>7694420
the only morals you people care about is when it infringes on your right to be pedophiles, fuck off.

>>7694474
too obvious anon
too direct
you gotta ease the line, then slowly reel them in

>>7694465
no we didn't

>>7694562
if we didn't you wouldn't have mastercard banning your asses

>>7694655
this whole thing right now is a jewish plot to remove privacy so they can demonetize your anti israeli ass. theres been too much pushback by the goycattle THEY imported for cheap labour. how ironic. its like those dumb kikes dont follow their own fairytales, golem turning against the master and all that.

>>7694666
we already have no privacy
i can go on any twitter profile and they will have all the fetishes, age, house address, the last porn they jerked off to and their mother's maiden name in bio

>>7694704
There are people who choose to not have a twitter account

>>7694420
gee I wonder who raised these kids to be such prudes

Are you on social media? Half of what I see are WIPs and established artists reposting Old work. Yeah you may have to do some fotm shit every now and then but EVERY job has shit. Classic artists made paintings they did not care about for money, that's life.

That being said, yeah social media warps your reality and makes you compete with soul less monsters. There's a difference from being an artist on social media and a Social media Artist (insta/twitter artist)

>>7693101
I'd wish to see the whole illustration in picrel pls

>>7694655
Mastercard enforcing its terms of service is proof that everyone masturbates in public.

>>7694944
Ok i go on facebook then
Same thing just different name

>>7694704
way to miss the point, brainlet. some faggots baring themselves willingly is one thing, the government forcing you is another

>>7690212 (OP)
Here i'll answer your questions
>unnecessary distractions
Tf does that mean. Do you pause when drawing to scroll on socmed? Why do that
>necessity of posting everyday
Who told you you have to post everyday? I post when i feel like it. My followers can suck it up not like they care about my frequency anyway
>fear of testing other things
Idk man im satisfied in my own lane i dont bother learning new stuff anymore. Maybe one day but im good for now

15k followers btw

>every person has the same personality and life experiences as me
I hate dumb narrowminded people like you with a passion.

>>7697998
OP here, I can't understand your comment about this question, can you tell me pls? :0

>>7690229
If I could back in time, I would love have feedbacks from mentors and friends instead of weird ppl at internet.

>>7690212 (OP)
it's just a microcosm of capitalism. capitalism destroys creativity.

>>7690212 (OP)
>IRL friends
fuck off

>>7690212 (OP)
this is true

age of consent in my country is 16, I refuse to believe that being attracted to hot, post-pubescent women makes me a pedophile
