Those are the false words of AI slop lovers. We as artists need to keep non-digital techniques alive, so we can still find new ideas in multitude of tools and different movements. Adapting as you suggest would mean simply ditching them.

Thank you! I was going to do a write up of how attitudes like this in places like cara (and before, twitter and deviant art) is why traditional artists don't use those platforms and why that eventually leads to stagnations and infiltration by AI, but I decided most people wouldn't be able to hear it
I am quite surprised, I very much like to see watercolors, guache, dollmaking or crafts on my main page! Each time I am a bit more inspired to try painting myself.
Though abstract or hyperrealistic traditional art is not my cup of tea, so maybe those are the less represented movements.
That's a big part of it. With abstraction especially a lot of people don't "get" it, so it's harder to get people into it. But even things like contemporary pop surrealism, which is HUGE in the high art world, has a lot of trouble on most social media.
I see. High art world doesn't have the best appeal for us "only artisans", especially after run ins with some art teachers xD
it could do with being seen like fun expression and not only searching for some big ideas or even a scam!
Oh, I get it. I've known far too many illustrators who rejected all high art because of one bad art teacher. The beef between high artists and illustrators/designers is an old one. But we need each other, especially these days.
Especially people like the OP here. You want to see more art, start including high artists in your feed. There are a ton of absolutely amazing and inspiring ones out there these days
