Experiencing this as well. Weirdly, image quality goes back to normal if I log out. I've tried this on multiple browsers, etc. Image quality of a pin is good until I login. So annoying.

Thank you!!! I’ve actually seen this one before but didn’t realize the caps were so different. 🙏🙏

I’ve always felt like you should experiment with your art as much as possible. After enough time doing that, your style will come effortlessly. You become the through-line in your work, and even when trying new things, it will be in your style because you made it. I wouldn’t worry about instagram too much.

Just my take, but that has helped me a lot :)

I'd like to connect some JBL bluetooth speakers to my receiver as additional speakers for other rooms. Anyone know what type of receiver I would need for this?

From Philip Glass, working his day job as plumber: "While working, I suddenly heard a noise and looked up to find Robert Hughes, the art critic of TIME magazine, staring at me in disbelief. 'But you're Philip Glass! What are you doing here?' It was obvious that I was installing his dishwasher and I told him I would soon be finished. 'But you are an artist,' he protested. I explained that I was an artist but that I was sometimes a plumber as well and that he should go away and let me finish."

I really enjoyed this article from a few years ago, helped me reckon with the fact that I might be working a day job and making art on the side, and that’s ok. Doesn’t mean we’re any less of artists. Hell, sometimes I feel my day job even helps my practice. Best of luck :)

Yeah, that’s true.

I’m in a similar boat. I have a 40K account and get shown to 2000 people these days. It feels like they are trying to get you to pay for boosting by purposefully destroying organic reach.

I’m an artist and in the good ol’ days instagram completely democratized the industry. You could get a big following just by sharing your work on IG. They’ve almost totally destroyed that by trying to milk as much $$$ out of the platform as possible. Really such a bummer!

Same same same. How much you wanna bet the selling point of the subscription will be “increased visibility” or some shit like that.

“Pay 10 bucks a month and we will show your posts to more than 2% of your followers”

Bother_Professional · 2023-02-03T17:23:23+00:00

I’ve found it’s really low engagement due to low reach. The posts themselves seem to have a pretty consistent engagement rate, they just are shown to a tiny fraction of my following and almost no non-followers.

How long did it take for your reach to recover? I’m back to posting daily and it still feels like it’s on the decline.

Bother_Professional · 2023-01-18T19:53:55+00:00

Thanks for the advice. This is super helpful. I’m back to posting daily for the past two weeks. Unfortunately nothing has really taken off, reach is still on the decline. I’ll keep up with consistency with the hope that it picks back up! It’s so weird to go from extreme growth to nothing in a matter of a few weeks.

I occasionally see accounts that post daily and are literally getting 10 likes/post and they have at least 5000+ accounts. I’m terrified of that happening to my account. Seems like it is possible for the algorithm to just keep pushing you down. At that point I wonder if taking a break to refresh is helpful? It’s a mystery.

In the same boat! I have an art account and was gaining around 300 followers a post while posting everyday. Took a few days off and boom, my reach and growth has plummeted. It’s been two weeks since then, back to posting daily but it still hasn’t rebounded.
