They won't even see it just post your drawings

>>Twitter puts nsfw on their timeline because you follow nsfw artists
you mean because you keep reblogging NSFW, right? there's no way twitter would do that just because you follow NSFW artists. No way

>>3910503
>popular artist follows you
I WISH

>>3910539
>you mean because you keep reblogging NSFW, right?
I don't reblog nsfw at all

>there's no way twitter would do that just because you follow NSFW artists. No way
Here's one sample. It's not nsfw but twitter do endorse accounts other people follow

>>3910539
It does that. If you follow 2 people who follow a certain nsfw artist, it will put that nsfw on your feed. Also, if you like a nsfw post, your followers may see that post on their feed (with a note that you liked it).
Twitter is awful.

>>3910503
just stop posting
and practice in secret

>>3910544
Here's another one. They also endorse posts other people like

>>3910503
don't worry, ruan jia follows tons of /beg/s

>>3910544
>>3910550
>>3910545
Now I get why some artists choose to follow 0, and just create a different account for following people.

>>3910503
that was his plan to crab you

>>3910518
>>3910539
>>3910544
>>3910588
You can disable that though

>>3910503
Up your game, then. Your inactivity might disappoint them. Even worse, it might bore them and make them unfollow you.

Could be worse, though. You could have a bunch of followers who follow you and then proceed to never interact with a single thing you post ever again.

>You could have a bunch of followers who follow you and then proceed to never interact with a single thing you post ever again.

They might be "bot-like" accounts that only follow you for you to follow them back and then proceed to completely mute your account. They only care about their followers liking their posts but don't care to interact in anyway with the people the follow. Then in a few weeks/months they'll unfollow you anyway.

When I see these types of obvious parasitic accounts follow me now I just block them instead of wasting any further time with them.

>artist you look up to follows you on every social media account you have
I never want this feel to go away

>>3911767
you can disable it for yourself but that doesn't help him because it's happening to other people.

>>3911789
pls dont block me bagbosse

>>3911855
orenjii?

>>3911855
Just wait for the inevitable art crisis almost everyone has and deletes their entire profiles without warning and never to be seen or heard from again. It will happen.

>>3911902
kek. Why is this a thing? I've done it as well.

>>3911902
>>3911904
For some reason I have fantasies about deleting my art account because I feel like it's going nowhere (had it about a year now and still less than 150 followers) and I feel like I should probably spend more time focusing on improving than obsessing how many likes/RTs I get.

But then I wonder if the lack of any "positive" feedback through likes on my art will ruin my motivation to draw.

>>3911904
Your high you used to get from getting all those hits with the likes and faves wears off and you become tolerant to the point you need more to get you that dopamine boost you used to get. At this point you become enlightened that these views are all a farce unless you're making capital which is very difficult - out of the thousands of views/likes you may probably get less than a percent of those who would patronize you.

Or the community gets so cancerous you cannot stomach it anymore and leave, personally haven't bothered making another profile in five years due to the amount of cancer that's out there.

>>3911902
this is why I mass download every artist I follow so I could at least salvage their posts before they purge everything

>>3910503
Yeah, you're gonna need to get the fuck over that.

>>3910539
It says
>Your friend @NotaGayFurry liked this: [gay furry image]

>>3910503
>top artists follow you
>they somehow miss all your mega popular posts that had a lot of effort put into them
>like your crappy doodles instead
I don’t draw art specifically to impress them but it’d be cool if the artists I admired saw what I was capable of

>>3911999
i think they're seeing your popular posts (bc they follow you), but choose to like the shitty doodles instead. my line of thinking with this is if i interact with posts that have less likes, the artist will have a higher chance of noticing it (i.e. me) and it's easier to open up a conversation. as opposed to it getting lost in the flood of notes from a popular post. it's kind of like saying "hey, i see you and support even your crappiest drawings."

>>3910545
>It does that. If you follow 2 people who follow a certain nsfw artist, it will put that nsfw on your feed.
What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
I have a bunch of mutuals from /ic/ who draw nsfw in my followed list, but I have them all muted because I don't want nsfw in my feed and I never put likes on nsfw art. Does that mean that people who land on my page see nsfw stuff? Is this only a thing where you and a bunch of people you follow also follow the same nsfw person? This is incredibly retarded.

>>3910518
>>3910544
>>3910545
That's pretty god damn fucked up.

>>3912005
Huh, sometimes I miss certain posts because I'm busy with other things so I thought it'd be something similar for others, but I never thought about it like that. Definitely made me feel better though, thanks anon

>>3911902
based and nukepilled

>>3912009
I think it happens with accounts you've interacted recently. If you keep on checking person A's page or like/RTing his posts, you're bound to see more of his likes, rt and follows on your TL. If you haven't checked person B's tweets in a while, they most likely won't show up on your TL. That's how Twitter algorithm works I think

Since I live on the opposite side of the world, I usually browse when most of my western followers are sleeping. They're less likely to see my nsfw likes

>>3911902
>I've done this at least 5 times

>>3910545
>If you follow 2 people who follow a certain nsfw artist
Doesn’t even have to be two people, got shown this because one person I follow follows them(Blocked out the whole post because I felt awkward about sharing some random user venting on their personal account)

>follow artist
>they follow back a few minutes later
it's a special kind of feeling

also actually happened a few days ago
>have been following an artist for a while
>see they uploaded something fresh
>liked
>suddenly they followed back
dude has 6k followers

>>3910503
YOU MUST

21 years old and never used twitter here
reading this thread is like reading quantum physics

I thought that the only things showing up on your twitter are your posts and the thing your retweeted
where do the undesirable posts from the people you follow show up for other people?

>>3910503
when using social media assume everybody can see all your actions. everything you like, you view, you lurk, you subscribe. assume theres a history for everything

>>3911902
>deleting your profiles
>not just leaving a trail of inactive blogs behind you every time you swap platforms like an insect shedding its carapaces as it grows

>>3910503
>Top artist follows you
>look at other people they follow
>they follow like 5000 people
Aw, so I'm just another needle in the haystack.

>>3914736
>I thought that the only things showing up on your twitter are your posts and the thing your retweeted
>where do the undesirable posts from the people you follow show up for other people?
That used to be the case til twitter updated its algo and decided to show posts from other people you don't follow

>>3914939
You realize the only reason someone follows you is so they can subtly shill you their own blog?

>>3910503
>Check twitter feed
>Find Simon (the Simon), pic related
>Follows him
>He followed back

D-Did I make it, fellas?

>>3915636
see
>>3915629

They're people too yknow

>>3910503
every excuse for not drawing is good for you losers

>>3910503
Are pople like this really exist or is this some meme im unaware of?
I see posts like this all the time.

what the fuck. How can it be that a post without tags on an account with 0 followers can still have impressions and engagements?

I'm trying to keep an account with 0 followers and no tags. I do follow some people, but they have thousands of followers so I doubt they'd even look at my page. It's just so weird to me.

>>3910503
>people follow you on social media because of the stuff you draw
What's it like?

>>3911912
Had a similar thing back when tumblr was useful and people cannot archive posts because some users put robot.txt to prevent search engine crawlers.

>>3917758
It feels like they're pitying you and you get incredibly anxious every time you post or don't post for a while

>>3910503
>tfw only follow famous artists I wanna bang
lookin at you cynthia sheppard ;) pls be my mommy gf

>>3917981
I like the long haired design better.

>>3916336
The people definitely exist (statistically) but I wonder if they're ever OP. I don't start threads without very good reason because getting heckled gets to me.

>>3916336
I larp as a bitter crab and assume most of the other shitposters here are doing the same. If you are really as mentally ill as I pretend to be, I suggest finding professional help before you hurt yourself or the people around you.

>>3910503
>popular artist in /ic/ asks me for my blog
>doesn't give them it because I don't want to be stuck in a twitter string of 4chin anon follows 4chin anon who follows this 4chin anon who follows that 4chin anon
If I'm ever going to whore out my blog it will be to the normies or non-/ic/ folk because, from what I usually see, 4chin following 4chin accounts are just usually fucking empty on actually finished works and followers.

>>3918478
why not do both. followers are followers.

>>3918487
kek 4chin accounts are like bots at this point

>>3918488
why?

>>3915636
>>3915641
I don't think this would apply to this Anon. I found that Simon guy's Twitter and his follow/follower ratio is like 300/4000. It's still possible to keep in track with the art of the people you follow if you're following only a few hundred people. When you follow thousands of people though the only way they'll probably see your art is if you're a popular artist who gets hundreds of RTs Everytime you post art.

If any of you get followed by who has almost an equal ratio of thousands to thousands of following/followers, refer to this post. >>3911789 It's probably just a shill bot account that you're better off just blocking.

If any of you follow people because you want a follow back and expect retweets, that means *you* are the parasite.

Stop playing this game and just be normal fans. The only people who give a shit about other people's follows, besides /ic/, are political fanatics.

>>3914796
Literally me.

>>3918478
I dunno, i'd prefer channel 4 Anons to follow me and shit on the work i put effort in so that it thrives me to do better, than normiescum always praising the worst i do so that they can feel better about themselves for having done "charity".

>>3918629
they dont do anything. If you want them to shit on your work, you post it here and not there. People on twatter only hearts posts, /ic/ users included.

>>3918706
Would still be a + having Anons follow you because when you post your work here and they know who you are thus they will be prone to shit on you when they're here since they have the protection of Anonymity.
>posting on twitter
there lies the problem. Twitter is for the most users, about consuming media and rarely involving themselves with it.
But if you are a beginner, you want as much feedback as possible from anyone who sees your work.
Such passive socials are for already established artists/professionals who can shit out good work on a regular basis.

>>3918728
Holy shit. That's why I don't need to shill my own blog to /ic/. Don't you get it? If I want crits, I'd just post it here or on discord servers, and that's that. I don't need an additional step of shilling it in /ic/. Having /ic/ as followers or people I follow on my twitter also messes my account's algorithm because I then get shown unfinished sketches #138174719294, and then get referred similar accounts as well. Meanwhile, I'm on the road to comic-making and I want the absolute amount of non-bot-like people I can get to consume my products. Why are you stuck on the idea that I don't want /ic/ criting me?

>Post some popular twitter artist’s crappy artwork on /ic/ 90% because of petty jealousy
>they end up following you months later
I will never shitpost about another innocent artist again

>>3918740
>"I don't need to, therefore nobody needs to."
>"I need crits only when i want to"
>"Having Anons as followers will only taint my algorithm"
Boy, those are some harsh statements.
>Why are you stuck on the idea that I don't want /ic/ criting me?
I'm not. My argument was only that if you are genuine about what you do, you get genuine feedback.
I'm not ashamed of my work that i need to hide myself but hey, you do you.
Good luck with your manga.
