does anyone else find amazing literally mind blowing artists here but have to resist the temptation to like literally every single thing in their media tab because you know the notifications don’t stack and you don’t want to come off as deranged

Or like, trying to come off as one of those weird ‘like for like’ people or trying to be like one of those Instagram people that uses aggressive liking to get someone to notice them, like engagement farm stuff, but at the same time, sometimes you find someone and you’re just like fuckkkk
Way I think of it: would an artist be taken aback if I came up to their table at a con and gushed at their art? Maybe like and retweet is pretty minimal compared to commenting, but its the LEAST I can do on social media to show my appreciation.
I get the sentiment but idk I don't really mind when that happens to me so I don't hold back when liking people's stuff too haha also I remember people on tiktok and IG having "if you like more than 3 of my posts in a row I'll block you" so it's a weird thought process to me
It’s bc so much of the ones on IG are engagement farming and that’s super annoying tbh and I don’t wanna come off that way but I also feel like the profiles of ppl who are doing it to engagement farm are super obvious
I try to limit myself to like 2-3 when I follow someone for the first time but if you see me do this… trust me, I peeked your whole gallery back to the BEGINNING
I consider it for a sec then just like everything cuz I know I like seeing it myself, like someone likes one thing then they follow me THEN they like a million things and it's like waow.. they like my art......
I do find amazing artists here! and I DO like all their art because enthusiasm and joy should never be stiffled by the appearance of something as utterly unimportant as "cringe"!
