memes give way more clout and growth than art on average. Any smart artist would know by using that you then link the new people to your art only account.

>every smart and big twitter artist has their gallery on a separate site

we must choose one.
Interaction is great, memes are great. Just give people a chance to see your gallery on a different site if your feed is meme littered. MY feed is meme littered, but I have an artstation, so I don't force everyone to trawl through my jokes to see my work.

>>5240384
That works too. And I agree original memes are much more effective at gaining followers.

[Anonymous No.5241424]

Someone explain to me please how I'm supposed to use hashtags. Yeah I draw cute anime girls, make good money on Patreon and commissions, but get hardly any action on twitter. Posting with hashtags results in zero extra views as opposed to posting with no hashtags. And of the artists who draw similar stuff and have 100x the followers I do, none of them seem to use hashtags either.

[Anonymous No.5242346]

>>5241424
Use hashtag when you draw fanart.
Requires your art to be either decent or very soulful.

I'm fine with that if they are the type of artist who has a pixiv that they frequently upload on or they have put out books or something. Takehito Harada and Akihito Tsukishi are some of my favorite artists but those motherfuckers never upload any of their shit on their pixiv. Shit sucks man.

Twitter could have galleries or "tagging" systems where people could mark offtopic pictures so they wouldn't show up in their media section.

But they are not interested in doing that.
And there isn't a single good art platform out there.

The best solution is to just have your own website, but that costs money and/or time.
I intend to do it, but only if I ever reach any sort of audience first, I'm not wasting my time when no one cares. I have my full collection of drawings stored offline, in my HDDs.

That would honestly be purgatory. This guy is probably saving up to move. You got to remember that in fucked up cases like this the guy probably doesn't even know what documents he needs to get from said family or even how to communicate with them to get them in order to move out.
or, could be even worse, like feeling of obligation to be accepted by them because dum monkey brain or being scared to move on because that is all he knows

he isn't racist, nor is he sexist. he DOES lie, but saying that about a politician is like pointing out that birds fly. trump's well liked by his side because he is first and foremost a businessman, and also prioritizes american citizens over foreigners. and about the racism and sexism, i think trump has gotten quite a bit of media slander because of his anti-china policies, especially the tariffs. most likely news stations are being paid china bucks to amplify anti trump sentiment. if you look at all the examples people point to about him being sexist, they're like old clips from way way back then when the cultural norms were different.
