so, as much as i enjoy faving art (and saving the ones i like most into folders). i think i might just give up doing it, just stop all together.
if i were to fav any art, it might be 1 or 2 pages worth then nuking the rest.
i am currently watching 11,528 people/accounts,so that would mean i get 500-850 art submissions A DAY to sift through. (depending when i sleep and when i wake up)
i was away for a week. it went upto 8.5k aand i was like "fuck going through that" and nuked it.
reason why im thinking of stopping all together is:
-taking up my life
-stopping the things i enjoy most, which is youtube (yes i can watch while doing so, but not on full screen, i have to have the video small) and playing games.
-even though I dont do anything each day, when i do have something planned, i always try to get the FA art submissions done before i go out, which in heins sight isnt a good mentallity to have.
-going through that many art submissions day in, day out, gets boring and tedious at times... I do like seeing the wonderful and amazing art and want to fav them. but it does get boring and tedious at times to sift through ALL the tabs.
so yeah, what do you guys think i should do? what are your thoughts/opinions about this
note:
while i was away for the week, i guess subconciously it felt nice not worrying about it? i guess it was "out of sight, out of mind" thing?
but i was also busy doing things for the week so yeah.█▄█▀█▄█▀█▄█ █▄█▀█▄█▀█▄█▀█▄█ █▄█▀█▄█▀█▄█

But yes, at the rate things are coming for you, just stopping all together might be the best way to go about it, and then doing a search for an artists name if you want to see what that artist has been up to since you last looked at their stuff, and this might be a good way of curating a lit of the artists you like the most, because it will force you to draw on your memory and show you which artists your mind gravitates to most.
but my issie is that I like all the art i seen x.x
i tend to save it on a 1TB external harddrive ^^;
and in the "yiff" folder i abe approx 400GB of images/gifs/short clips of vids
there's a certain pressure for users on a website to "Interact because it definitely helps the creator/poster"
Youtube is a nice example of this where creators tell each and every video "remember to click like subscribe and hit the bell" blah blah blah...
I don't watch youtube 90% of the time, I listen to it with my phone in my pocket and an earbud in. This makes interaction extremely difficult and unpleasant for me.
I used to have a large watch list too but cut back immensely due to the past age of 5-6 reminders a day of buy our adopt!
I now interact with FA through a telegram bot which limits me to 300 watchers from my list and the ones shared throughout the service and only open pieces if I like them...
yes shun me for doing it all you want but in the end, we all need to remember that we don't exist to interact HOURS UPON HOURS with social media.
what I'm trying to say is, do not feel guilty for not interacting. your mental health comes first.
I'm not a professor or scientist or any such things but it doesn't take a PHD or doctorate to see that 8500 posts a week is ... not healthy
I'm just gonna say this c:
don't feel guilty to take back your life a little bit c:
after all you wrote a journal about how it makes you feel and only 2 people decided to respond immediately with much the same sentiment as this comment, me with a well thought out comment because I don't know how to use words and I'm sure many read this and agreed but just couldn't find the words to say it..
but I'd like for you to ask yourself,... how many truly care how this makes me feel overwhelmed? This sounds rude but I'm pretty sure if anyone's reading this they wouldn't be insulted by this because you made the actual effort to read through someone's troubles. sometimes that's enough c:
okay rant over
sorry for long post aaa
edit, post was so long a 3rd person commented before I could finish it, sorry man c:
hmm....
the episode is called "Nosedive" and it does give a very bleak image of social media,...
a fair warning,... these episodes are always dystopian like in nature! but they are this way to make a point.
as I do remember it did have a sort of happy ending so if you're worried about it being extremely depressing,... yeah it still kind of is :/
I have no idea, it might help, it might not.
interesting... very interesting.
i mean its kinda true to a extent, but very interesting
Maybe its time to stop, Since it does seem to take alot of your time.
And its becoming very unhealthy at this point, Its just art, Think of yourself first.
i mean spending ALOT of time on pc isnt healthy either but *shrugs* haha.
but yeah, i suppose it isnt healthy when it stops you from doing the things you enjoy most.
Have you ever spoken to a therapist or a loved one about this?
Maybe they can help you^^
i have not.
