The more time I spend on social medial looking at thousands of artists, the more they merge into visually identical tropes.
Consequently, I'm no longer of the believe that art is special or unique nor does it make a well-received artist talented.
It's an arranged set of symbols dictated by the copier.
They follow the rules as if part of an equation, and there are only so many permutations that can exist, limited much similarly to the number of notes on a piano.
As more people flood the digital landscape with their "art", these boundaries become more obvious and distinct. Therefore, day by day, art is becoming more washed out, for anything and everything that you aspire to has already been completed by thousands of others. Art is becoming a waste of time, a pointless endeavor, and you are only exacerbating this negative effect by publishing your work.
You are not creative, and the world will continue to care less and less about your "art".
