@maffister's post on Artfol

i already asked that a few months back but since there are new people here

what's your biggest art pet peeve ?

for me its when artists dont reply TO THEIR COMMENTS πŸ˜ƒ
it just feels so arrogant ? like you're ignoring HUMAN BEINGS ?? WHO ARE SUPPORTING YOU ??
even if i have 3 or 200 comments i will always answer to them. i would feel so bad if i didn't

I don’t remember what I said the first time for my pet peeve but deffo yes for urs like wtf u ain’t a celebrity honeyπŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

Also idk if this sounds bitchy but yk how some people comment like ONE emoji under ur art post??? Like it’s just ❀️ or 😍 like what- am I supposed to say to that- it’s so disingenuous too, 100% of the time idek know that person they don’t follow me I don’t follow them wtf does β€œβ€οΈβ€ mean

The fucking artists who don’t credit photographers, especially the realism artistsπŸ˜€ controversial opinion time but a lot of the β€œart” aspect of realism is how the photographer arranged their composition, mood, colors, etc etc and the realism artists have the AUDACITY to just. Redraw their art and not credit it?? Fuck ur β€œreference from Pinterest” caption fuck u do a Google image search it’s not that hard I’ve done it before for refs fuck you.

Non art pet peeve is when I all the pain and stiffness in my body could be solved by just stretching and popping joints but they down want to so you're just there feeling all broken :/

Omg yes, completely ignoring comments, that is just rude.
If you get overwhelmed by them, here on artfol you have a very cool feature called a text post where you can simply say "I greatly appreciate all the support and comments on my art, I'm sorry for not replying to everyone, I get easily overwhelmed"
AND BOOM. PROBLEM SOLVED πŸ‘Œ

But uh I guess getting so many ideas and stimulation but having no time and/or energy to draw them so you just write them down but you completely forget about it so you're just like "uh I have nothing.... "

Honestly it depends on how big the artist is . Now responding TO NONE. That's fucked up.


Anyway my personal pet peeve is when People message me for Follow for Follow or that "share my thing I'll share your". Like personally it's all fake and annoying. Even when someone follows me, if I don't like your art I'm not going to follow you back,because I wouldn't interact with your things. It wouldn't be right and bring you down against the algorithm.

That's a second thing. When those "promote" people try to come into your comments like fuck off. I know from first hand promoting doesn't work cause the average viewers doesn't even fucking read the caption for credit πŸ™„

I guess people who are a bit more "rude" in the comments of art posts or even textposts. Like I get you're trying to be funny and extra but sometimes it just makes me go "how do I exactly respond to that?".

On Instagram or twitter I don't always reply, mostly because I just don't know what to say, like, when someone comment under 3 of my posts, I'll reply to two of the comments and leave a like on the third because else I feel like it would be repetitive ;v;

Anyway, I hate when an artist comment something nice leave an other comment "also check my page if u want" or "check my drawing"
Like
Okay but no
You can promote yourself in my stories but not my post that's a bit rude ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A THOUSANDS MORE FOLLOWERS THAN ME WHAT'S THE POINT ?!

No I'm not mad because it happened just now on insta what are you talking about
Anyway did I say that I don't like people promoting themselves when it's not needed ? Because I don't like that, it's just annoying to me to have people promoting themselves under other people's post. I get the want a bigger audience but not like that... My post aren't artist support post so no...just no...

i feel like some people may not understand what you mean by"artist don't reply to their comments"
guys it's not about when you casually forget to reply someone or, idk, the notifications are glitchy and you miss 2 or 3 comments. It's like, when people don't reply to ANY, A N Y comments. like, literally, NEVER reply. just ignore. even when it's just 1 or 2 comments, they don't reply.
β€’

well i have a lot i guess but i don't remember all of them now

i get very mad at people who spam comments at their own posts to boost their "engagement" (you know who I'm talking about πŸ˜ƒ), people who ignore comments, people who expect their account to be a huge success when they don't support literally anyone on the community. also those people who vent a fucking essay about their bad day and end up with



but how about you?

also people who give advice without the artist asking... A lot i guess
β€’

I think that it's understandable if the comment is something that's hard to respond to. Like it's not that I don't appreciate it but how do i respond to a group of emojis? "Thanks"??? Like I always like the comments and answer almost every single one but sometimes idk what to say. Anyway, one of my pet peeves is, I think, artists not saying what programs and brushes they use when asked. I get their irritation when they eg. Have the answer in a FAQ and people keep asking but if not then?? Just help someone out??? It's not like they're gonna steal your brand cuz of it

Biggest art pet peeve is probably whenever my art program crashes or my drawing tablet unplug. Shit blows my whole mood πŸ’€
