i know most artists abhor the idea of reposting and that most image boards nowadays are even more just a compilation of porn (will forever be hurt and betrayed about Danbooru feeding an AI dataset), but its makes me so sad how impossible it is to find slightly older art nowadays because no one uses gallery websites anymore. Even on Tumblr, where you can find some incredibly ancient pictures on the top of hashtags, you'll be stuck with the top 30 most popular pictures and it'll show you them over and over again

what I mean by all that is. its not possible ive consumed all disco elysium art already. im 4 years late to the fandom theres GOTTA be a goldmine ive yet to reach

Really if there's anything in the world that I think would've helped the situation of archiving fandom art like that A TON, it'd be Twitter having tags that weren't part of the actual post. People would probably actually tag their stuff if that were the case, y'know? As it is, I feel like artists don't really use tags over there, and yet that's where a vast majority of art by western artists is posted, pff... Oops...... That's just my perspective, though. Dunno if it's actually accurate. IT WOULD HELP A LITTLE THOUGH AT LEAST RIGHT???

That would have helped, but what prevented most people from using hashtags was being afraid of Twitter's algorithm. A lot of people said that unless it's a trending hashtag having a hashtag at all hurt your reach... Thinking about it now it's really crazy how artists are just expected to post art and have it reach people without any kind of tags, like it's an airborne disease lol

I'd love for a gallery website that isn't actively hostile to artists to really take off, but it seems like that's asking a lot right now lmao

Last time I got excited about one it caught on fire in a single day (Buzzly art) so I'm not keeping my hopes up anymore lol

Artfol could have been cool if it hadn't taken them 4 years to make a web version, but by now they wasted all the buzz they got when they launched (I just found out now that the web version launched because I googled it. They have my e-mail, they could have promoted that...)
