/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I remember back when I started posting art online back in 2006, dA used to be somewhat of more natural ''growing'' sites, I definitely had some more consistency posting art there, but climb with followers was steady and engagement with audience was palpable with your artistic improvement.

Nowadays, I really can't be bothered to post that much consistently as I did before, but you can't tell me something isn't fucked up when I post my art on Twitter and it get's 100 views and barely one like. And I'm doing art on professional level and have 700+ followers.

All these social media sites are only engaging if you constantly post something, and I mean CONSTANTLY. Like, you are punished if you don't constantly post on that shit of a site (I'm not sure how much do you have to post to 'activate' algorithm).

So, not only you have to chase that improvement (which is normal if you aim to get better) but you also have to fight algorithm bingo to activate any sort of exposure. That shit is draining.
