Stop being lazy and make your own website. Simple as.

>Twitter
Kek

Instagram on the other hand is surprisingly pulling through despite doing everything it can to drive people away. I suppose that implies just how fed up normies are with xitter.

>>7114626
Literally just because instagram reels.
>>7114567
>bluesky
yeah, twitter but worse in every way is definitely worth posting on bro

>>7114567
tiktok reels? if you can edit your process to capture attention of zoomies and alphas(put some skibidis popping up like bonzai buddy?)

It's more fun to see where Deviantart is heading.
Their near constant Core sales shows that they're extremely desperate to make money; heck they even removed the cheapest Core option. They're either going go be sold off soon or there will be a mass firing (on par with the rest of the tech industry)

I only post art in Discord communities. I also use Twitter to find and follow artists, but haven't posted anything there myself yet. I see no reason to bother with any other platform, except for streaming. Twitch is organized better than Youtube but both platforms seem kinda shitty. Easier to find streaming artists on Twitch but they take more of your money. I guess if you have enough of a following you can just stream on Discord and paywall that shit.

Why was them trend?

>>7114573
Wouldn't you still need to promote it on twitter

>>7114762
"mass quitting" because they promoted ai or something

Bluesky gives me the impression it's filled with clout hungry cunts.

>25k/yr
I guess this sounds impressive to third worlders and gen alpha toddlers but this is poverty line in the US lmao you can qualify for gibs with that

>>7114848
25k for 0 effort is a lot

>>7114859
>0 effort
On the dumpster diving part yes but I imagine for a turnout like that it's a terminally online 24/7 social media marketing gig.

>>7114848
Sure, it's a miserable salary, but honestly how many actual artists (outside of actual pros) on DA can say they've made $25k in commissions or other art sales over their lifetime of selling, much less over the course of a year? Probably not very many.

>>7114848
>>7114868
it's 25k in LESS THAN a year, their actual annual could be much higher

>>7114843
I'm curious as to who's buying this shit.

>>7114902
I've made over 6k selling instagram profile pictures
I don't know what they do
But normies definitely buy shiny stuff

>>7114771
"New illustration available on my site" with a cropped/censored/blurred version of the art is allowed, whereas maybe posting the full piece would get you a b&. With how cucked all sites and social media are becoming, it might be the only way to bypass their bullshit.

>>7114848
25k a year to write prompts in your spare time while watching anime is a lot

>>7114843
I guess Deviantart observed they can survive without actual artists, it's pretty bold posting AI fags like that, just goes to show they don't value artists anymore because they don't have to. This might send a message to other platforms and start tolerating AI as well, knowing they can survive even with artists leaving. It's so over bros, I encourage you all to do your best and create more quality stuff before all your significance is lost in this world.

>>7115071
shut the fuck up, you retarded niggerchild

>>7115077
Is that the best you can say in the face of truth?

>>7114843
it appears like a money laundering because some people on xitter found out that the buyer of those ai slop only like several account spending more than 20k usd

>>7115238
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a coordinated effort to help push AI acceptance and adaptation

>>7115238
it's fucking NFTs all over again

>>7115064
>write prompts in your spare time while watching anime
It's amazing how idiotic almost every post around AI on /ic/ is, from both sides.

>>7115335
it's amazing how you think you're fitting in, pajeet

>>7115335
What's wrong? AIjeet feeling called out?

>its so easy you can do it in seconds
>its just typing words into a box
okay then, show me

>>7115273
I tried to check some of the buyer on their DA accounts and holy hell, there is some accounts that massively buying random AI slop from several AI artists, exclusively buying AI slop and nothing else, so I guess it's pretty much to create artificial popularity or maybe just straight up money laundering

>>7115473

>>7115473
you can literally steal someone else's prompt and use it to gen your own images, if that's not easy then i don't know what is

>>7115489
>prompt is the only thing that matters
come back when you know a little more about imggen kek

>>7115473
>AI will democratize art from the gatekeeping luddites!
>Actually AI art takes a lot of skill
hmmmm

>>7115529
who are you quoting?

>>7115540
chatgpt

>>7115540
why you gatekeeping bro?

its pretty funny how you can see when ai threads stop getting bumped anons start posting in /beg/ lel

>>7115567

>>7115615

>>7115529
It depends on their position in the argument. If they're attacking artists, it's the easiest thing in the world and renders skill obsolete. If they're the ones being called out, then it becomes a valid form of personal expression requiring artistic skill

>>7115626
you can say the skill floor is lower while still recognizing its value in expression. skill ceilings pretty high too desu
you are conflating the views of many separate people

>>7115619
Wasn't me, just saw that ss being spammed in other board. Sound retard but some actually believe it was an artist.
>>7115626
Pic rel

>>7114868
I've made $10k on a single magazine and it was just four pages.

you are conflating the views of many separate people

>>7115567
None of them ever gave a shit about gatekeeping, it was all just astroturfing by selfish people

>>7114573
Good luck getting visitors

>>7115567
The gate was wide fucking open with no one guarding it and that was still an Herculean task for these retards.

>>7115685
> people who whine about gatekeeping do so because they wanted to be the gatekeepers
Many such cases.
