[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest to God, I'd like to pursue writing, but I just CANNOT STAND writer Twitter.[b] And it seems like you have to have a Twitter following to get published[/b]. Have some other folks decided not to take certain career paths because of social media nonsense? [/quote]

Agreed. This has been a barrier to my development and confidence as a writer, tbh. I've mostly kept away from social media for my mental health. Privacy is incredibly important to me as a survivor of violence. But my lack of social capital via a notable twitter/ig presence, or the desire to achieve one, has discouraged me from submitting my work and connecting with other writers out of fear of rejection. I'm still trying to forge my own little path but[b] I do worry that there is no space left in this field for people who aren't Extremely Online.[/b] [/quote]

This is how i feel too -- that success would require embracing Extremely Online stuff, which i just can't ever do. [/quote]
I’m very sorry for this, PPs. As a visual artist I feel similarly. The cream is not rising to the top, just the IG detritus. [/quote]

Now you just sound bitter.  [/quote]

DP. Maybe? It doesn't seem that far off though. I don't know anything about the visual art world, but if getting noticed means making art that gets noticed on IG, that changes art, and maybe not for the best.[/quote]
