>You're not so ignorant as to think what you peruse online defines you as a person.
Except that it does. Your personality doesn't exist in a vacuum. You are shaped by what you consume.
But my point wasn't even about 4chan itself. I was specifically talking about /ic/. If you visit this board, by definition you still have not made it. The few anons who make it don't keep posting along with begs even if they browse other boards. My question was how do you keep going if you still haven't made it at 30?

>> No.4012905

>>4012891
Have you considered that what “making it” means is purely subjective and that becoming a commercial artist isn’t the sole standard of artistic success? Many of us oldfags are already financially secure and not looking to turn art into a career. /ic/ simply represents a place where we can share our work without the hyper-critical moral policing that you find on social media.

Same. What helped me get over my art anxiety was knowing I was an anonymous rando on /ic/. It didn't matter if people hated me on this board I was just some rando. I used The anonymous function to separate my bad posts from my self, but if I get a permanent social media all my bad traits and good traits will be out for everyone to judge.

I'm gonna be one of those people who nuke their social media

I feel niggas been out of pocket
I feel niggas tappin' they pockets
I feel like debated on who the greatest can stop it
I am legend, I feel like all of y'all is peasants
I feel like all of y'all is desperate
I feel like all it take is a second to feel like
Mike Jordan whenever holdin' a real mic
I ain't feelin' your presence
Feel like I'ma learn you a lesson
Feel like only me and the music, though
I feel like your feelin' ain't mutual
I feel like the enemy you should know
Feel like the feelin' of no hope
The feelin' of bad dope
A quarter ounce manipulated from soap
The feelin', the feelin' of false freedom
I'll force-feed 'em the poison that fill 'em up in the prison
I feel like it's just me
Look, I feel like I can't breathe
Look, I feel like I can't sleep
Look, I feel heartless, often off this
Feelin' of fallin', of fallin' apart with
Darkest hours, lost it
Fillin' the void of bein' employed with ballin'
Streets is talkin', fill in the blanks with coffins
Fill up the banks with dollars
Fill up the graves with fathers
Fill up the babies with bullshit
Internet blogs and pulpit, fill 'em with gossip
I feel like this gotta be the feelin' what 'Pac was
The feelin' of an apocalypse happenin'
But nothin' is awkward, the feelin' won't prosper
The feelin' is toxic, I feel like I'm boxin' demons
Monsters, false prophets schemin'
Sponsors, industry promises
Niggas, bitches, honkies, crackers, Compton
Church, religion, token blacks, and bondage
Lawsuit visits, subpoena served in concert
Fuck your feelings, I mean this for imposters
I can feel it, the phoenix sure to watch us
I can feel it, the dream is more than process
I can put a regime that forms a Loch Ness
I can feel it, the scream that haunts our logic
I feel like say somethin', I feel like take somethin'
I feel like skatin' off, I feel like waitin' for 'em
Maybe it's too late for 'em
I feel like the whole world want me to pray for 'em
But who the fuck prayin' for me?

you see this in most art forums desu. the shitters stay bad & give up and the the skilled artists get jobs & connections and don't have the time or need to maintain sketchbooks or get crits from internet randos anymore.
and the autists just become increasingly depressed and alienated until and give up on trying and failing to make internet friends because they can't relate to anyone anymore and they should've anhero'd a long time ago but they don't want their dog to have to go to the shelter haha

Sup, 32 as well

30’s >>> 20’s since i have money, patience, and purpose. 20’s was too much thrashing. It’s like when you go to a new city and frantically want to look at everything in an undirected manner. You’re looking up places to eat on yelp because you dont know how to explore. But now I know where i want to go, and i’m ok with the journey to get there.

26 here. I'm not a regular anymore and I'm rarely around, but I can tell you /ic/ is a waste of time. It's amusing enough to browse, but it's getting worse every year. Seems like new /ic/ is just /beg/s who are unironically parroting meme advice or are actively trying to find excuses for not to follow meme advice. Best threads were honestly those were ppl posted their portfolio or project, but it seems this doesn't happen anymore. (Maybe because they were always disliked/ moved to /alt/)

I do agree that it's mostly /beg/ or intermediate people that are active at any given time. Maybe it's because those are the only people that are excited and curious enough to talk about the subjects.
You also begin to realise after a few years that almost nobody is capable of taking advice so even if you have valuable information it's not even worth typing it out most of the time.
