Since it’s a hobby, I do it for myself, sure. But I’m fucking sick of having my work buried in the endless pit of social media and stalling at like 6 likes.

I’m not even like thirsty, but I’m so fucking sick of seeing hipster faggots paint geometric shapes and infantile scribbles and getting 4000+ likes for it while I’m busting my ass spending up to two weeks on projects and getting no growth from it whatsoever and being made to feel like a fucking idiot.

I’m not bad at art and I know it. I’m followed by artists who exhibit regularly and they say my work is “amazing”, “groundbreaking”, “ahead of its time”, and yet it goes fucking nowhere. I won drawing competitions as a KID, I got into a prestigious artschool with shit grades PURELY because of my “talent”, but social media routinely fucks me over. I know for a fact it’s an algorithmic thing, because I used to amass 200 likes minimum, now I can hardly get 20.

Fuck Instagram bullshit, fuck social media and fuck this popularity faggotry. From now on I’m keeping my drawings to myself so I don’t have to feel like a worthless piece of shit every time I put something out there.
