Couldn’t pass this template

if you ever hear about furry (or any other) artists making big bucks in their communities it's a lie

making yourself an organic following is impossible unless you're willing to create for the algorithms and jump on every other meaningless trend, tags barely work anywhere anymore, selling art is extra hard when people can't even afford basic necessities nowadays, all is going to hell and the stubborn part of me blames capitalism

but also I can't help it and blame myself too, idk if there is such a thing as "neurodivergent grief" but i feel like the AuDHD combo made it significantly more difficult for me to express myself online and thus years of opportunities were lost and now all I can do is post small squeaks like this, at least

man, I desperately have to re-learn how to post and express myself on the internet because my survival depends on an audience being interested in my work enough to support it financially, but it just feels so goddamn dreadful these days with the current state of the world wide web (which actively consists of like 4 social media sites owned by corpos I despise, the rest is dead)

I can't stand being forced to adjust to an algorithm, not just by time and frequency but the content itself, sometimes you can even PAY for exposure!!

however i still have to fault mostly myself for barely trying to show up, not just because I spend twelve hours a day making the art and never posting it, I'm also terrified of being perceived and receiving attention. which is pretty contradictory to... being an artist... on the internet TwT

anyways, this is a rambling post of affirmation for myself to stop overthinking and over structuring every sentence i decide to tell the world and just start being fucking cringe openly again, god please let me be cringe
