pouring one out for all the artists that poured their life, heart and soul into their crafts and unique works only to get no response when they shared their work on the timeline now that they’re all watching every last NPC praise and endlessly share hollow and nothingburger imagery generated by a slopmachine

ps

checking out for real this time
this era of internet is for the brainrotted

not taking it to heart, but it's true: 

watching everyone ghibli and score engagement while many of us continue to share things ~we actually made~ to little interest is painful.

my mission always has been, and will remain trying to improve the "situation" for creatives. weird that the solution lies in game design.

I’ve had mixed feelings on it. My day job is working in animation as an art director- and I have a real direct conflict with the update. Def feeling of the pain of cheapening years of studying  a craft, etc. on the other hand, it’s here and not leaving. I hope my years of studying image making helps give me an edge in deciding what’s “good” or “slop” and that itself will have some kinda value. in a world where craft is accessible to anyone- I hope my understanding of taste prevails? Not sure how else to look at it.
