I've been a part of the art community for 2.5 years on X & now here for a few months, & I can tell you with certainty that artists on @farcaster are at a crossroads. Best case 1: There's some foundational shift where the fc ecosystem elevates these "quality content" creators & they can have a meaningful existence here. Best Case 2: They go explore Lens or maybe back to X (where despite the algo, they get some recognition for their art from their peers). Worst case: They get disenchanted with web3 altogether because they've been scammed, rugged, ignored, reduced to a number & pretty much treated like second class citizens regardless of where they exist. I worry about this the most. Irony 1: The art community is the most vibrant community any social community can have. We literally have generational talent hanging out amongst us & most of us are unaware. Irony 2: Artists who are here are the most tech forward of the normie bunch we'd wanna onboard. Biggest assets for any social platform. 1/2 š§µ

Thanks for the ping @manuwilliams š¤š«¶ Iād love to see best case 1 play out. I think Iām at worst case x 10. Iāve been rugged, robbed, shadow banned, zero visibility etc etc for the last 3 years on X, here, IG, where Iām just numb. Iāve seen copies of my work and hard to get past where the others work gets more interest. Itās frustrating but I continue on. Iāve been lucky to have a few wins more recently (and grateful) with having my work get recognized or selected for exhibitions. I had a good feeling getting on here the first season, second and third but then time and interest slipped. There are other platforms where just communicating with others on a genuine level pays you. Itās part of a web3 project/ community thatās really been the constant over the last 3 years. I havenāt tried lens but heard about it. Iām usually one to try something out as an early adopter but not sure if itās worth it. So many platforms, not enough time.

Thanks for sharing your story Matt. A by product of being early is that it's nowhere close to ideal but the promise of what can be, even if it is for the future generation of artists/creators, has kept me going as well. I invite you to cast in /pkok. We're building a community and also rewarding people through our daily max degen allowance.
