| I Wanted To Delete My Art Instagram. Here's What I Did Instead. | 03 Jul 2025 | 00:14:16 | |
Why Instagram has become exhausting for artists. How the algorithm rewards trends over quality art. Why follower count no longer guarantees visibility. The pressure to constantly create reels, stories, and viral content. Feeling more like a performer than an artist. Using Instagram as a simple, curated portfolio. Posting only meaningful, on-theme content. Focusing on real connections instead of chasing growth. Exploring platforms like email lists, websites, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook. Sharing art in a way that feels enjoyable and sustainable. | |||
