Back in the day there was a kind of "real" youtube.
At least it seemed as if the people there were "real people".
On youtube there was, for example Sycra and he had Art-Streams with lots of cool people, who were Artists.
He made Interviews with good Professionals like Artgerm, Will Terrell and so on.
Then there were the Forums with hundreds of inspiring People with Sketchbooks.
Some professionals, some amateurs, some amateurs who were aspiring to become Professional.
There were so many inspiring People and Artworks to look at and get inspired by!
(this was not only in Art, but also in all other fields. If you like to cook, you could find an equally big cast of inspiring cooking channels and every other area probably too!)
Nowadays it seems, Youtube killed itself because censorship and so on.
Most videos are made either somehow by bots or by production companies, who try to make it look like private people, but very poorly. They all use the same script, it looks like. If you see a cat moving into the scenery you already can tell, that these people have been told by some marketing-Agency that they should put a cat in there to look more like private people.
The so-called "social media" I do not use, because they tighten the censorship-grip so heavily and it feels like a complete empty echo-chamber. I am talking about Instagram and such nonsense.
Forums somehow died, even if they were awesome.
Sycra also had an amazing forum back in the day with SO good people, so inspiring!
Nowadays he moved to the so-called "Discord-Server",
but first of all I see that as another censorship-vehicle-thing and also you cannot see any Sketchbooks of people there!
Where are all those amazing, inspiring People nowadays?
Youtube is dead, Forums somehow vanished, and "social media" is censored and unreal and turns you into a zombie.
Do you also feel that the world somehow got very empty nowadays?
