#excuse me while i do a VERY petty rant here... #but i'm sick of the internet and our need to get notes and likes and whatever #i don't know if the algorithm on stuff has changed or what but i'm having a hard time even wanting to share my art online #(i know i haven't stopped posting it but i do feel bad about it every time) #i'm also aware i've been posting really niche stuff... specially for instagram... but still #i'm tired of spending SO MUCH TIME on stuff and them getting 3 pitty likes and 50 bots commenting on them #and yeah the whole ''draw for yourself and not others. do it because you enjoy it'' and all that bullshit #it's great and true and all but also there's artists online whose WORK is to do art #and sadly... we NEED to get likes and reblogs/shares and whatever bullshit websites have cause otherwise people won't find us and hire us #we live in a world where you need followers to be somebody worth working with #it makes absolutely no sense. but it's a thing #the ammount of illustration agencies that make you link your instagram account AS WELL AS your online portfolio... #the same things go in both.. why do you need to see i don't have billions of followers?! #i hate this #i hate that i've posted something I'm trully proud of and it's not being seen #not because i want to be famous or whatever but i want at least a ''good job buddy'' i need that. i'm only human! #on twitter i get notes ONLY on the things a celebrity has seen. i've shared my commissions info and my ko-fi page and they've been ignored #on instagram i get bot comments only #on tumblr i get mostly likes that. as much as i appreciate them. they're useless #the only thing that's keeping me afloat (and feeling guilty as fuck) is tagging the horne section on twitter cause they still care #(for how long idk. they'll get annoyed sooner or later kfdjg) #but anyways... i'm tired or social media but i'm very proud of the things i'm producing lately so that's something #sadly i won't stop posting things online. cause it is trully the only way i could possibly get work #but i WILL complain again. i know that for a fact! #lol #it's a very stupid problem to have... i know there's people starving and being killed and sick and trully poor... #so excuse me for this whole rant :// #angel talks #personal
