Ugh, I know EXACTLY what you mean. It felt like a real group where people would really talk about your art. Now everything moves so fast and it just gets lost in the feed. I miss those deep talks about what it all meant. Makes sharing feel kinda empty now, but your work still counts.
@riverhunt nailed it. Feels dead now. Back in the day, comments would really dig into your work. Someone might ask about the blue tones in a painting. We'd talk for hours about what it meant. Now, it's just a heart emoji and scroll. My last piece got fifty likes but no real words. Makes you wonder why we even post.
Yeah, that part about the blue tones really hit me. I remember getting a comment once that pointed out a tiny detail in the background of a photo I took, and we ended up talking about it for days. Now it's just numbers, and it does feel empty.
