@cyris@troet.cafe @Lana@beige.party I am a small artist, comic artist, and an indie author and people have slowly started to follow me because my first thought is not about going viral. It isn't even tenth on my list. I do these things because I am passionate about them and I want to grow and be better at them with each piece I create - that is the thing that draws people in. The passion, the drive. I have seen people get big following with stick figures and doodles, and unrefined stories because of their passion.

@cyris@troet.cafe @Lana@beige.party When I moved from doing these things as a hobby and started to share them to others, I wasn't seeking an audience. I just wanted to share them with likeminded people. No matketing strategies, just fun. And now that it is a business, my goal is still to do it because I love it and sharing that love to others and that resonates more than selling a product. People don't want AI, they want to connect with the art, the story, the growth of a person.

@hiisikoloart@writing.exchange @Lana@beige.party Yeah, visual art can at least give you a LITTLE bit of attention over time, because people can consume it with one glance. That's not the case for words and reading.
