Hey guys, I am an animator and would love it if you checked out my YouTube channel. Been going strong for 6 or so years. I'd like to continue to make more stuff. Any support is greatly appreciated! :D #youtube#indie#indieanimation https://t.co/4nnvtjRjQh
@u_m_a_m_i Pretty much any hobby part YouTube is like this. Their sould purpose is to sustain the hyper consumer cycle. Music gear YT is the most egregious from what I've found. Every synth is basically either analog or FM you can't do much other than change the knobs around
@Nolgthorn There's also this like weird GIF influencer guy named Zhot who has a ai monkey avatar and makes songs about "Bananas and Nuts" and I swear ice cream I have no idea if this is some kind of code
@hiyeenah_ Seems like this is really common, I've had the same thing happen. A lot of servers are only active when the "Main Guy" is on. Cult of personality type stuff.
Something I need to work on is iterating on work before posting it to social media so I don't embarass myself later with half assed work. I tend to rush everything out. It makes my work look sloppy
@bikeh_ it takes a lot of resilience and self discipline to make it work. A lot of sacrifices need to be made (Including social ones haha). It is not for everyone. It's also a form of escapism and wishful thinking for many!
Also, people forget they need to have flipping FUN!!!
@bikeh_ In order to survive I've had to give up a lot of time I could have spent making art, on a career I hate. A lot of people dont have the privelege to do art as much. That's why young people tend to get into art and then give up in their late 20s, because thats when life gets real.
@bikeh_ I agree, I think that the biggest issue for people is that they have a job. They usually can't make art when they have a job and a million other responsibilities. The one option they have is to try "making it" in art. There is a difference between commercial and personal art.
