I'm sorry it came across to you as that! I am not a fan of "shill me your art" posts either -- which is why I tried to avoid that terminology and distance myself from the vibes that surround it. As someone who has long created art himself, and is now in the fortunate position to be able to give back, I was interested in discovering new artists and expanding my Web3 horizon. I'm also not sure why my follower count matters -- would it not be worse, according to the view you espouse, if I had an ever bigger reach, since I would be "exploiting" even more poor, defenceless artists? (Practically at gun point, mind you!). Either way, thanks for sharing your thoughts! :-D
This fcks me off. The guys got 245 followers and still this engagement farming works because artists are desperate. If you want att fkn work for it yourself and find art that connects. Stop turning artists into clowning beggers so you can have some attention.
@KarlTrewhelaArt Agreed. Clearly the world is going in all the wrong directions! But I also believe in the individual's power to swim against the current. I think artists can tell me about their artistic philosophy in a dignified way, as many have (seemingly) done. I don't want dancers.
@KarlTrewhelaArt I do buy art! And I don't think there is anything sad about giving people the opportunity to introduce themselves. When you go to an exhibition, do you just stand around and hope to be discovered? Or ought it be that way? I don't think so. Or do you disagree?
@senseofbodies@Everyone I love this very much! Very few things in life are more important than nature (if any). Keep fighting the good fight!! And do tag me if you end up doing something very nature-y.
