Excuse but what the hell are you doing now?

[Anonymous No.]

Because tagging is a pain in the ass and there is no point in doing it if booru autists do it for you anyways.

Because there are too many options to fill and worry about when uploading to most galleries.

Because retweets actually spread the world instead of just getting starts on pixiv.

Because interacting with fans and others artists is more fun than the isolation of a gallery.

[Anonymous No.]

Because they want more normies to see their shit.

Pixiv sucks and twitter is easier to deal with.

That's probably why.

[Anonymous No.]

Using Twitter exclusively is pretty bad because your audience can't easily get to more of your work.
But since most Japanese artist are just hobbyists it's not a big deal to them. So that's why many of them post use twitter only and nothing else.
Most artists who are trying to make some money though usually have a website or link to site where all their work is easy to access.
From a professional artist's stand point twitter isn't great for posting art (shitty compression) but is great for communication and connecting to fans/potential fans.
I know of a few artists who have personal twitters and art only twitter where they don't post anything but their work and art related things.

[Anonymous No.]

The corporate media elite wants everyone to use Twitter because then they'll encourage everyone to record all their thoughts in public for a datamining resource

[Anonymous No.]

>>16009033
There are a ton of artists who have both Pixivs and their own website, where their website is only for posting major announcements, and Pixivs contain only notices for new work and twitter matomes. The real issue is that most artists don't actually give a shit about Pixiv, or the people who want to look for their work years after the fact.

>>16005691
Does anyone ever listen when people say this?

[Anonymous No.]

>>16004136
Wasn't it because of the huge amount of western artists who started clogging up the site with their shit art, and then Pixiv changed some sort of terms of usage shit which was basically "if you post something here we can use it without your permission"? Something like that. Both of those things pissed off artists and I guess there wasn't some alternative site to use. I think some of them tried going to Deviantart but they have similar usage terms so that didn't go too well.

It fucking sucks that Twitter compresses images and Tumblr limits images to 1280 pixels wide. There's always making your own website but that costs money and people want shit that just works.

>There's always making your own website but that costs money and people want shit that just works.
It's really not about the difficulty of making your own website. Plenty of artist's websites are hosted on free services. It's about the ease of connecting with the people who want to see your work, which is easy on a social network like Pixiv, Twitter, or Tumblr (which I'm going to arbitrarily define by the ability for people to comment and follow the things you post), and very difficult with your own website. To the average user, RSS is completely dead.

I'd wager of the artists I follow who have their own websites, for well over half of them their actual website is dead as shit.

RSS is not coming back any time soon.

I'd wager of the artists I follow who have their own websites, over half of them almost never update their website. Even then, it's only announcements and posts, and anything titled "gallery" probably hasn't been updated in 5+ years.

Any variation of this rumor that Pixiv is doing something negative due to western artist is untrue. The main user base of Pixiv is Japanese and will be for a long time. Quality of art isn't affected either because there were bad artist on the site before any foreigners started using it.
The TOS thing is bonk too.

using twitter to view/post art is like trying to put a dvd in a record player, it just doesn't work.

it's slow for me, bringing up images is a pain, saving images is a pain, no tags, if there's more than one image, flipping through them is like garbage. (i don't use the app, so that experience was with my computer)

it's like... pixiv is right there for them please use it more than twitter. it's not a bad website it's just not made for posting art.

No it isn't, tumblr maintains the original image resolution and quality.

You just have to type 1280 at the end of the url should it not already be like that when you open it.

Wrong as fuck dude.
Maximum width of 1280 and a maximum height of 1920, anything larger than either is scaled down to fit, and made into a jpg in the process.
