>>5926522You will understand once you've been good for years and realize people, who aren't even half of your skill level, reach heights you were fighting for since the very beginning. It's not thinking like a parasite - it's being practical. Refusing to get followers is NOT a virtue and I've fallen into this trap before myself.

>Most of the followers I’ve gotten have been from 4chan drawthreadsAnons are a lot nicer, contrary to what you'd expect from 4chan. Maybe the fact that everyone is bitter makes finding a skilled person a lot more rewarding.
>FB and ig are dystopian behavior manipulators that hide you from your followers if you don’t use the site enough.Is this really true? I don't see IG rewarding me in any way if I use the platform more. However I do feel like shadowbanned because I wasn't uploading for a longer period than usual
>using a bunch of hashtags As much as possible? In comparison, YouTube seems like it prefers concise, narrow tags as opposed to broad ones.
>spamming likes for every shitty art postMy friend likes everyone who likes his work but not people who already follow him. And it's going well for him.
Don't your likes also influence who you're being shown to, tagwise?
>Who actually creates strawman shill accounts to promote their shitty art?It comes in handy for pages that don't allow self-promotion, it shouldn't be your main shill though.
