What is the point of photography anymore? On shitagram I get 8 likes max. Is this it? Is it over?

Creativity is good for the soul.

Were you not into photography before instagram? You need to make reels now if you want anyone to find your page. Quick video of the camera, pulling the viewfinder up to the phone lens, then a quick compilation of some good shots. If people like that then they'll click on your page to view more

Feels like a pointless burden these days because nobody gives a fuck. I want people to see my shit.

>Were you not into photography before instagram?
I was. Back then there was Flickr and tumblr.

So tiresome, fucking hate this. I want people to be interested in the photography not the painstaking process behind that. Showing that would defeat the purpose of art.

is whining here helping you?

>nobody gives a fuck
If you don't give a fuck then why should anyone else?
If you're not creating for the sake of creating and for yourself then maybe it's time to find a new hobby. Must be sad being you.
>>
>>4537853
Yes a little bit

>>4537854
>If you don't give a fuck then why should anyone else?
I do

>If you're not creating for the sake of creating and for yourself then maybe it's time to find a new hobby. Must be sad being you.
Lol, it's like saying that "you should not feel sad about the bbq that you made for people that nobody body ate."

I'm making my first reel, and the only time consuming part about it is picking what pictures I want to use. It's certainly not ideal, but I've found accounts I like because of reels.

Why not try a printed format to break away from the socials for a bit? Make a zine, put a QR code to your IG on the back, and leave copies around town at coffee shops.
>>
>>4537856
Nah because bbq is food and wasting food is way worse than no one looking at your snapshits.
>>
>>4537860
I have no money for that kind of thing. Yes, I am totally broke.
If you wanna make reels then that's cool. But personally I scoff at them.

>>4537862
Typical redditor mindset. "it is what it is doood, nobody owe you shit, there is no god and universe doesn't care about you, just shut up and die dooood". Just fuck off.
>>
>>4537866
You don't have money to print zines at the local library? Literally goes on printer paper. I use a local print shop for higher quality gloss and it's still just $1/page. make it on dirtylittlezine.
Scoff all you want. Nothing changes if nothing changes

The point was never to do it for other people's approval. If you're a photographer, you'll be bound to photograph whatever it is you must photograph, regardless of whoever likes it. Be an individual.

>it is what it is doood, nobody owe you shit, there is no god and universe doesn't care about you,
True.
>just shut up and die dooood
If you're a weak faggot then sure, go ahead. Personally I don't need other people's approval or imaginary friends like gods to live a good life and have a purpose.

Yes it is over. Your only hope is to produce something exceptional.

>>4537866
Not caring about wasting food is peak reddit. Your whining and crying is also incredibly reddit. Get a grip you weak willed limp wristed little bitch boy.
