Maybe it feels less lonely? A desire to perform? A love for the game? LARPing as a twitch streamer? Who's to say, the human mind is a beautiful thing

>Why do they do it?
the same reason my mom buys scratch-off tickets. she wants to hit it big even if she knows the odds are next-to-impossible

Why the hell not, I personally see it as the digital version of when people discover ancient human footprint is about leaving your insignificant mark on the world just for somebody's else to find it and think "wow that's neat, hope they had a great time when they did that" I mostly spend my times going to dead websites and archiving images/photos and leaving the last message and positive commentary on art before the domain expires, is my way of saying goodbye to the lost and forgotten since other people might not care anymore but I do, I miss the era when true passion about doing something so useless in the grand scheme of things was king

>>35392
By your reason

I've noticed this myself, even with YouTube recommendations in the righthand column. It makes me wonder about the state of the world/society and how a vast number of individuals don't work and just produce content absolutely no one will ever watch. How do these people afford to even stay housed?

isnt avatar posting against the rules

>>36479
That would be a retarded rule, hope it isn't true.

Try instagram maybe. it's image based and people can't save your art

IG is an algorithmic nightmare, a lot of artists have abandoned it because you have to fight for your own followers to even see your posts on their feed. Also taking a screenshot instead of right click and save is not a hurdle for art thieves.

I think Twitter is the best right now to have your work seen and shared.

one of these 2 active users is me, i never left and i will never leave, social media is way to scary for me and tumblr is way to political

>>4594
could be that your algorithm got reset caz of inactivity. the front page now is personalized
>>4618
id tried tumblr and i never got any reblogs or likes also i am afraid of the political people so i left before somebody asked me if i support x thing i have no knowledge or expertise in

>i haven't been able to post art online again ever since the website sort of "fell off", social medias like twitter are so intimidating to start with.
just do it on there, who cares, just use it as an online archive for your art
>>21880
Instagram is a nightmare, there is a loud minority of ''repost this on your reels or you are a bigot'' types

Growing up I was more a newgrounds kid, between the edge and psuedo otome games it got me hooked pretty fast. Also even though it was infamous for an being an edgelord playground, there was actually allot of girl artists making cute weeb stuff and more avant-garde stuff too. I tried using DA but I just couldnt get into, I don't think I liked the UI very much. Weird porn like inflation being the top result when I looked up stuff like Sonic didnt help.

NG has made a serious comeback since the pandemic, very active now, I would argue its the best spot for archival purposes and talking with other artist, though unfortunate Xitter is probably still a necessity if you want to blow up big…

I hope both you and Emily get the genuine help that you need.

off yourself

The Alfred Alfer movie is pure nightmare fuel

>>36401

I'm not Lynch's strongest soldier by any means, but if you think his films are "cringe and dumb" you either don't care about art or are just being a contrarian for the sake of it, which I suppose is the same thing. Regarding the "merit" of his films, Blue Velvet is very good. If you think that it's "pretentious" then I don't know what to say. Besides asking: pretensions of what?

However, there's something more important than me defending the late David Lynch's honour. It's that you start thinking about film and culture more deeply. Even if you don't like his films it's vital that you learn to criticise them without falling back on odious slogans like "film class midwits" and "art house slop".

David Lynch's movies are not pretentious in the slightest.

Try playing a David Lynch movie at a party or family gathering

>appealing to normie taste
i'm not the biggest lynch head either but some of his work is undeniable, and if someone can't see that it's probably because they can't tolerate anything abnormal in art. twin peaks is fantastic and i like mulholland drive a lot too. if you think he's too weird try the straight story, it's the most normal thing he's done
