I hate “content” culture.
I hate “consuming content” and scrolling immediately to the next thing.
People used to be excited about the art that other people created.
People used to want to share that excitement with creators.
I hate this future.
Once someone tagged art that I made with “woah” and I think about it at least once a week. Someone else said “oh neat” once. Someone else WROTE A WHOLE DAMN POEM IN THE COMMENTS. Anyways even just one word can change how someone sees their art. You don’t even have to think about it too hard. You could put a keyboard smash and I’d probably cry from joy.
I’m also trying hard to interact more, I understand that it’s hard to break away from opening your phone and being in Content Consumption Mode.
#i used to not comment much because Anxiety#but i’m trying to do better about it because how else am i going to connect to other people if I dont speak?#how is that artist going to know i loved the way they portrayed that character if i dont tell them?#how is that writer going to know how deeply their story affected me if i dont tell them?#i struggle with being afraid i’ll sound stupid or annoying#but i have to remember that i cherish each and every comment i get on my own work no matter how simple#likes and kudos are great! I like knowing that my stuff has been seen!#but when someone takes the time to leave a small message. well. that brightens my whole day.
