BEST Social Media || For Artists

[@littenrock]

There's also Artfol! I personally use it. They're also anti ai art (not sure on nfts but I doubt they're pro that) and it has a chronological feed rather than algorithmic. Personally, I enjoy it. ❤

Chronological feeds

Another vouch for artfol! I absolutely adore that app, and I was surprised how far I had to scroll in the comments to see it mentioned!

I hate that Instagram is now a tiktok wannabe. I recently made an Instagram account for art because my art 5 years ago I did pretty well, in the meantime I had quit art for the most part, but as my skill has been improving I wanted to post again on a new account. Nobody sees my art, even though I've grown a lot form where I was 5 years ago, when I started posting art then it immediately got engagement, so i know that my art isn't just so bad that nobody likes it. I don't know anything about video making and just wanna share art.

I'm building the largest social network for artists. Eliora stands out as a dedicated social networking app for artists, combining the best elements of an art gallery, marketplace, and professional network. By addressing the unique needs of the artistic community, Eliora not only provides a platform for showcasing and enjoying art but also offers tangible career opportunities for artists. This project exemplifies my commitment to creating innovative and impactful digital solutions through thoughtful design and cutting-edge technology.

Another thing with TikTok (from an artist watching artist content) They will not show you related content. At all. No matter how much you restrict unrelated hashtags or how much you click that 'not interested' button, eventually your feed will abandon art completely and instead show you what everyone else is watching. Instagram is much better in this respect, as if you're an art account, very little filtering is needed to curate your reels feed. Unfortunately with Instagram, you'll only see like 3 types of videos of whatevers trending, but at least you're seeing art content 😅😅 KZbin is my favorite because even though you have to transition completely into video making, your art doesn't have a lifespan. Your video may sit dormant for years and eventually blow up for no reason. Wheras Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, etc, give you a window of a few hours to a day for your work to be seen before its cast into the void forever (hence why it's difficult to grow on either of those platforms)

[@Shapoufiiie]

Buddy, pro tip; maybe rewatch and review your video before posting it. I really was enjoying and taking some notes on this video for personal uses but while I was listening to your video I noticed there were some points in the video where the voice had 2 voices or was cut off mid record. It was really disorienting but overall nice video. Maybe, just fix that problem. That's all. Thank yaoau for this very informative video and have a nice day

[@Lancer95_305]

Everything u said about all these social media apps is very true and sad at the same time but the last one sounds very interesting to me I think I'll try out since all these apps are now over saturated with to much content it's hard for us artist to be seen

[@Pr0ject_Dusk]

Ah I didn't know about the DeviantArt AI art information...that's sad. I don't have current art on my account as the last time I posted any art was...uh..back in 2006 roughly, but I think I should get back my account and do something to hide my art since I don't want to AI art algorithms to take my art data...though that's probably too late now I suppose.. Anywho I haven't posted art in a long time. Last time I did was on various Discord channels, and lots of the time most of the people cared more about the person doing the art than the art I made myself...and since I wasn't of their demographic I would be irrelevant to them basically. This hurt my feelings and mindset and therefore conditioned me into feeling like all platforms now have this similar mentality of people, artist or non-artist. I definitely am not feeling like Twitter would work out either.. Perhaps Inkblot could be the answer. Hmm..but all in all thank you for the informative video. Have a good one✌

[@dalailarose1596]

So Tiktok has a market for attractive women doing stuff? Like art stuff? Ok, I can fake being attractive!

[@aarantheartist]

Any stuff. Art stuff included 😅. Unfortunately for me I can’t fake either being female or being attractive 😂😂

[@sxmplyblossom8048]

What about KZbin for artists?

[@wow20227]

Dang i guess ai is going to every spot this really sucks i missed the days where i can go any website and see someone's actual art they made by themselves now its gonna be very annoying seeing a whole bunch of fake art and then maybe some real art that someone actually made possibly💀

[@Gaia_BentosZX5]

Deviantart is also rampant with art theft prior to the AI swamp full of leeches, so I wouldn't recommend DeviantArt either way. Once upon a time you have a rather high chance of seeing a Knuckles the Echidna stock image from Sonic Heroes featured on the front page, garnering more views than any legitimate artwork on the platform. It's sad to watch.

[@biety8501]

I think this video is a bit dated on the tiktok section. A lot of manga artist post all of their photos and it gets a bit of views, art dump post are a trend too. My biggest ttt post are art dump post

[@aarantheartist]

Yeah, I don’t think that was really a thing when I made this video :)

[@blumoo9938]

social media is often based on trends which are ever changing so it takes sense tbh! (not negating your comment, it's helpful, thank you for commenting this cus it gives me hope for my tt art acc)

[@Amber-zo]

Is anyone still using Pinterest? Just curious

[@aarantheartist]

I think so, but it’s very flooded with AI, so I don’t know how effective it is. I still try to find references there.

[@chopinplaya]

Great video, Aaaran! I've been working on a new art platform for the past year called DomoTown in response to a lot of the criticisms you made in this video. I'd love to collaborate with you in some way if you're interested!

[@blackbat908]

Omg! Please keep up the amazing work, i hope your site is successful, we need a social site dedicated to Artists that doesn't work against them. I wish you all the success! (I am korean using translator) :)!

@@blackbat908 thank you! 감사합니다

[@ChillAndSketch]

Artstation has an AI filter.

[@aarantheartist]

They do now, but it doesn’t really work, and a large number of industry professionals have up and left the site because art station support AI.

[@ChillAndSketch]

@@aarantheartist alright, got you

[@Shapoufiiie]

I'll be avoiding it like the plague then.

[@k.bharathraj4825]

Then what kind of social media we can use?

[@strskull]

i dont see alot of art in it but maybe u can use pinterest? im not sure tho

[@aarantheartist]

@strskull instagram sucks, but it’s still the best option for most people. You could also try Cara :).

Getting 10 likes on Artstation worths around 1000 likes on Instagram

[@inuendo6365]

If you care more about likes from other artists vs likes from general people. I go to conventions so I'd rather have the 1000 on Insta because it's more likely I'll hear "I saw your stuff on Instagram, it's so cool!" in-person. That, and it felt icky when Artstation started featuring NFTs and AI. It was supposed to be the more "professional" site but it feels like DeviantArt 2 now.

[@teamili7957]

​@@inuendo6365 i think they automatically filter out AI because when i use Artstation, i rarely ever see AI

[@Amir-7080]

Which one is better for reaching out to game studios? Do you think twitter or Facebook can do the job?

[@aarantheartist]

I’ve never really worked in games, but from speaking to some folks who are, Twitter is the better option.

[@Amir-7080]

@@aarantheartist Thanks 🙏 I think that should be true.
