How do you grow your account on x as an artist?
Post your drawing on X, then wait for people to Heart or Repost your shit.
>>7885976My account's still small, but I notice that drawings I post in off-site algorithm-free places (discord, reddit, 4chan) get more attention than just hoping the algorithm will pick you up
>>7885976fan art of popular artists into drawing popular thing. Post your art on popular thing subreddit
>>7885976>How do you grow your account on x as an artist?Why is X used by so many? I thought Insta was the shit then they capped tags. What the fuck??
If you drew a fraction of the time you spend making these threads you would stop making these threads.
>>7885976Elon turned it into pay to win. You need a checkmark to get really noticed. Or you need to attention whore and do fan art or whatever
>>7885989>they capped tags.wut
>>7886016Instagram used to allow 20-30 tags now it allows like 5
focus on improving your craft first. followers will come with time.
>>7886046This. Just keep drawing and keep posting and results will come
You draw fanart and use tags. Even fresh accounts will appear in the Recommended feed.Ask someone with a lot of followers for a retweet.Lots of artists will retweet beginners to help them.
>>7885982this
>>7886021literal pixiv clone
it's called twitter chud
Pander. If your practice and sketches are impressive post those as well.
Draw what you enjoy. Use tags. Patience.
nta but how much of a factor is post frequency, as of right now I only draw once every few days so i only have something i'm happy with uploading every week or so
>>7886112Very important. You need to post daily.
I saw new japanese account posting untagged beg gacha girl in a void getting thousands of likes
>>7886088how do i know if my sketches are impressive?
>>7886151>popular thing get popular likeswoah
unironically buy the blue checkmark. your posts don't get pushed unless you do.
>>7885976By not drawing badOnly /pros/ get recommended by the algorithm, not filthy permabegsGit gud, faggatron
I see posts with almost no likes all the time. No tags. No blue checkmarks. Accounts with less than 100 followers who post fanart that interests me.
>>7886112starting out frequency is key
>>7886112I've been posting weekly since 2021 and I'm still in sub 100 followers hell
1. post consistently, at least once a week, ideally more. 2. draw amazing things (hardest part)that's it. If people see your art and don't retweet it, then it wasn't good enough. End of story.
>>7885976Do tags work? How do you get stuff in people's feed?
>>7886275and u didnt link ur name here
>>7885976Being good helps
>>7885976Retweet bigger artists, or quote tweet their posts with a relevant drawing.Don't overuse tags, or even the "#". If you have a drawing related to something trending, just fit the term into your posts naturally.Example: > "Pikachu" is trending> Your post: "I drew Pikachu."If you are going to use a hashtag, use "#artmoots". Not as effective as it used to be, but it still works for gaining prospective followers.Lastly, keep the account active, post about your art frequently, and avoid filling your media page with reaction gifs or non-art related content.
Be japanese and draw kawaii uguu slop. Thats the only thing normies consume on there
>>7885976Just say "Please like, follow and subscribe, and remember to click on the little bell icon for future updates. Bro Fist!" on every post.>xIs elon actually getting people to call it that? I can't believe this shitty rebrand is beginning to work. Twitter has always been shit, but it had fantastic branding for what it was, and now look at it's logo. It's shit! It's looks like they got some cheap, free of the web font, and simply hit the 'x' key... Not that there was much that could be done with a company name as lousy as fucking "X".
>>7886951X is better because it caters to lazy people that don’t want to type the full name. It’s the shortest name for a social media app making it more appealing to talk about s
>>7887003First X, now s?? When is this bullshit going to end?
>>7886951Stop dead naming that's transphobic.
>>7887012When E is added to the equation, pfft.
>>7885976Man, fuck the internet, there was a time when all you had to do was suck some cocks to become successful in art.
>>7886951>>7887003>>7887012>>7887028>>7887051Just curious, how much money does a single letter website name cost?
>post frequently>draw OK>hope a bigger account retweets your art at the right timeTwitter is a popularity contest, so getting the blessing and visibility of a larger account helps, and the more followers you get, the easier it is to get more followers, both due to larger reach and due to people being less inclined to follow accounts with low follower numbers. Short of buying bots or having an e-friend with a big account who constantly pumps up your shit, there really isn't much you can do beyond posting regularly, posting what people want to see, and drawing well. My art does awful on Twitter, though it does OK on Pixiv and consistently gets booru scores on-par with or better than artists with many times my follower counts.
>>7887140What websites have an algorithm that actually push small accounts? Twitter's seems more biased than average toward big accounts
>>7887319Twitter does promote new and small artists on my dashboard. The algorithm is quick to notice what you are interested in and then it will spam it.
I made my account a month ago and i've not posted anything on it, do i get a visibility boost if i make another fresh account or do i just stay using my current account?
>>7887878well, since you made your account is newly made. You will have to start posting or interacting with posts immediately or you're considered a bot a account thanks to musk.
>>7887898death to lurker bot accountsits called SOCIAL media for a reason!
>>7887902this but /here/
>>7885976I can't stand social media anymore. It's all so shit filled with the mentally ill hippies.
>>7886879>use #artmootsNever use this cesspit of a hashtag unless you want the most insufferable narcissistic people to follow you. Literally the worst possible hashtag to ever use.
I guess I can ask here. I know>clicking "See less often" or muting>having bots in the repliesreduces visibility but if I use my account with 3 likely bot followers and I retweet a post does that hit their visibility too?
>>7891406What is your choice ?
I think not even a tenth of my followers are real people, they're all liking weird unrelated posts or shilling onlyfans or AI porn.one one hand it reduces my reach like crazy, I don't even get any likes on most of my work, and I should do something about it, but on the other I don't see how it's MY problem if this shithole is so full of porn bots it becomes unusable
>>7891595>I think not even a tenth of my followers are real peopleKinda feels that way. I just recently hit 1000 followers and as much as I wanted to celebrate, I keep checking on who follows me and its always bots or bot like lurkers who I'll never hear from. Its very demoralizing
>>7885976X is about 80% bots now, and I'm not even bullshitting. I use it mainly to follow news/current events and so many of the replies are obvious ChatGPT slop "commentary" on whatever was posted (see picrel, congressman's post followed by bot replies). The difference from, say, YouTube, is striking. Most comments on YouTube still seem to be from actual people, or maybe they're just more advanced bots.
>>7891595>>7891599>>7891961This kind of stuff makes me want to open a BlueSky account, even though the site seems kind of dead.
>>7891961I said this shit a couple years ago when it wasn't this obvious and got called a jealous crab>youtube comments are still peoplewouldn't bet on that, buddy
>>7891595A bunch of artists I admire follow me, like big accounts, even. Like a really high proportion of my followers are other artists. I have at least 3 Japanese artists in my inspiration folder following me (not porn). It always trips me up to see someone like that interested in my weirdo shit. I guess I'm humblebragging right now, but it's not like I can take much comfort even in that. Social media has a way of making you feel like shit about your art no matter what.
>>7892014Unless they actually interact with your posts (not just the occasional pity like as they scroll their feed) then they probably aren't as interested as you think.Getting people genuinely interested in your stuff to the point that they specifically look at your account on a regular basis and interact with you seems rare to me, at least on twitter. It's just a place where people talk over each other and where real connections between people are seldom made.
>>7892039One of them liked my post a couple weeks ago. I mean it's not some mass following shit, it's genuinely guys from across the world taking an interest in my art, somehow. Of course you don't go to social media for genuine connection, but I can't lie, it's nice to know artists I admire see something in what I'm doing.
>>7891961>Most comments on YouTube still seem to be from actual peopleIt's even worse, sometimes the regular videos will be botted a bit because the channel paid someone but shorts are botted as fuck, most of the comment section is bots.After a while you notice most comments aren't actually related to what goes on in the video, but generic ones that could work in any video about the topic.Shorts about chess will have top comments like "wow, such a brilliant move by white" even when white gets his ass kicked, shorts about guns will have "may Allah strike down the ATF and the great satan (california)" even when the dude is just comparing budget lamps, aura edits using movies like John Wick generic ones like "what a professional, mad respect" that work but would work on any movie in the last decade, etc.You don't notice because nobody reads comments, we all assume everyone on youtube is ESL anyway, and they don't pretend to be philosophers like the bots on X do.
>>7891961Its so obvious when an account is a bot because they all use that same cadence and typing style ChatGPT does.
Do you just not care about AI scraping or is there a useful way to protect your posts? It's not the stealing that bothers me I just hate it benefiting off my work while I stay broke
>>7894653Big name artists do the same and they actually make money from doing it.
>>7894653understand that for as long as the internet has existed, anyone has been able to download and do anything they want with any image they find
>>7885976you need to be active, like posting at least once a day. the algorithm will completely ghost you otherwise.my advice would be to accumulate a bunch of content you can post, but don't post it all at once. during your work, take screenshots and short video recordings of various stages - never show the full composition, just zoomed in and cropped areas, then post a couple of those per day, and then finally the completed piece. by the time you post it the completed work, you will have already worked on another piece, so you will always have something to post each day.
>>7894653Grok is a joke (AI in general really). I'm not kidding, and I'm not saying this as one of those "epic human artist" owns. It is legitimately on its own merits stupid junk, a thingamabob generator, a trash factory. I use it to gen porn, but unless you make the most soulless coomslop imaginable that all models have already been prolifically trained on, it's genuinely useless at doing much of anything. It can't possibly imitate my work or do it better than me.Fact of the matter is, we have for years been doing it for free(tm), all for the imaginary updoots. Shit has been fucked for a long, long time now. So just enjoy yourself while the world goes up in flames.
>>7895931>you need to be active, like posting at least once a day. the algorithm will completely ghost you otherwise.I post once a month. my last three posts have all broken 10k likes, and I only had 3900~ followers for the first of which(I'm at 8k now). Even before those posting once every 2-3 weeks most of the time I'd hit 4-6k.Point being, the algo doesn't give a fuck how frequently you post(if anything posting too frequently might harm you but that would only really be an issue for AI slop spamming). The only thing it gives a shit about is how fast your likes go up after you post. Likes go up fast enough it enters the algo and it starts feeding to peoples "for you" feed, assuming your post is SFW. If you can manage something like 70~+ likes in the span of 45 minutes or less you're going to get pumped directly into the algo.also having something to post every day doesn't really do you any good if you can't get noticed to begin with.
>>7892062And you know what's even worse than that?Youtubers can activate automated replies generated by AI and automatic pinning/hearting of comments.It's just insane how then they'll cry and try to figure out why youtube ad revenue isn't making them rich and famous when everything is fucking bots upon bots upon bots managed by bots while using bots to manage the bots and real people are just checking out since most youtubers really do not give a single shit about the shit they put out. They just want to do content that gets engagement while hoping the "almighty algorithm" picks them up for instant overnight success, because they do not know that those big youtubers who do, have fucking talent agencies behind them.I just checked out with every interacting or commenting on youtube.If they don't give a shit, why should i? Because """"content"""" i should be grateful for being allowed to consume for free while they pretend they want people to interact just to boost your social media numbers and then hit you with the the whole "uuuhm no i cant read every comment"? Meanwhile on vids where they pretend they want to discuss thing they only interact with the most generic shallow positive comments.If you don't want people to interact with your shit in any way that it does not fit your own personal fantasy; maybe you should not put out youtube videos with the pretense of discussion only to farm validation for your shit opinion.Honestly, i am just so done with this shit; Nobody fucking cares about anything anymore, shits in their own plate, but demand everyone else should care about them and close their noses so they don't get a whiff of the feces coming out of their face.
>>7885976You need to paint digitally and paint generic animu hentai slop, probably use AI tooThat's the only kind of art getting any traction on there
>>7887898>>7887902I've been lurking for a few months now just liking art and stuff. How long will it take me to get my account back into "human" status?
have a furry bunny girl and post once a week.
