Pretty much the same experience i had and why i don't comment or interact with people anymore.
I guess others feel the same way and had the same experience and that's why they aren't eager to interact with others anymore.
Lots of people think like this:
>"if i give people positive xyz, they must give me xyz back or they're assholes"
Which is why you have those type of people just hustling others, and when it happens on a bigger scale, you get the current result.
I think the followers/like system is flawed because it enables and will be exploited by narcissists and other type of inauthentic people.
Why do a lot of big accounts always get bigger? Because lots of people want to exploit their big numbers to get big numbers.
In the end what are we really doing? Just playing the digital lottery to get big numbers for maybe the tiny chance of monetizing our work.
A lot of people who just use their social media to market and sell their stuff might have indirectly figured the game out, and what you should use social media for but who also directly contributed to the current state.
Do many artists really care about the art of others? Do they care beyond pretty colors or the "appeal"?
And do people and artists really care for any art that isn't fast food slop?
What one should do is honestly just set up monetization for their work, and completely disregard the "social" aspect., since you have many venues to shill your work because in the end you're going to win the lottery and find your target consumers who want to buy your slop.
