>>4070785>>4071046I'm just focusing on a single feature that might actually attract artists of all skill levels and incentivize meaningful interaction between the them. I imagine this being in it's own section, so that the site can have art browsing and discovery along side to serve artists and their fans. It would take a lot of experimentation, but I imagine there exists a means to reward those who provide quality content in the mentoring section to be rewarded in the browsing section. I understand very well that there is a concern for established artists dominating any platform they participate on, but I think this can be mitigated with creative discovery and promotion solutions.
I can imagine art feeds that utilizes tags, tag groupings and filters. Tags would be more than just attached labels, they could also be used to filter results based on account types. If I was running the site, I'd experiment with multiple types of front page feeds: similar to reddits popular, new, hot, etc type of lists, I would try to create some that would favor newer, smaller, upcoming accounts along side the usual ones that dominate.
