Don't Make Art for Algorithms

Don’t make art for algorithms. - This may not be relevant to you so if not feel free to skip, but it’s a topic I’m passionate about. - For those of you that don’t know, social media platforms have algorithms that basically use AI to show certain content to certain users. Pretty simple right? - Well there’s been a lot of talk about “the algorithm screwing me over” and other such claims when posts don’t get as many likes as you think they should. People get agitated with it and start making content that they think the algorithm will respond well to AKA get more engagement. - I get it, that’s cool and all but idk about you but I didn’t start creating art to please an invisible force. Cause let’s face it, the shots that do well are big butts in beautiful places. No offense but that’s pretty shallow. - I create art to express creativity and hopefully inspire others to follow their dreams, whatever that may be. When did our art become subject to what a computer thinks of it and when did we decide to change because of it? So we can get a few more likes? Are you kidding? - For all those artists out there, don’t cater to the algorithm. Create content that’s worth an engagement and you surely will get it. - Be blessed and stay stoked😎🤙
