Want to say that 'art is not a game' but now it's in quotes because anything can a game just as much as anything can be art. And with that flexibility in mind one can and should have a choice to not participate in something they feel and believe does not work for them.

Very much agree with your statement. Felt like that not too long after started posting things there and then stopped. Thank you for expanding on the point.

When I said “I don’t see any point in that,” I meant that I don’t see any purpose in getting involved in the “rodeo game.” I consider myself an artist, and for me, stepping into that feels like “undermining” what I do. Each of my photographs is a fragment of my soul. I tend to be very selective with everything I mint, and placing any of my pieces there feels like throwing it away, stripping it of the value it holds for me. I respect those who do it, but it doesn’t align with who I am or how I think.
