Yes, it's called running a business. Spending money on advertising is a requirement if you want to start one.

It doesn't take much money if your work is good, though. My wife is a tattoo artist and she built up her following in just 1 year to the point where she's booked out 2 months, and she only promoted posts for $20 or so here and there.

Self promotion isn't an easy thing to do, so I'd suggest reading some how-to articles about how to grow your Instagram following. It requires a lot of work, to the point where managing your social media is a very large part of the job.

At the beginning my wife spent about 75% of her time on social media, while the other apprentice didn't. Now the other apprentice struggles to have more than a few appointments a week.

That's really not true at all. For many artists social media is the only or best way to gather a following and advertise their products.

It takes a ton of hard work to build that following since the art market is heavily saturated, especially post-covid, but social media is the best tool for the job.

OP just doesn't know what they're doing and thinks it's a walled garden.

Yeah, it takes generations for racism to die out in a family, so we shouldn't expect an instant 180.

It's really not. The sentences for CP are usually relatively light in general.

I think it's because that type of content is typically bundled together in an archive instead of just browsing the images on a website. There's also viruses out there that will just dump thousands of pictures onto your hard drive.

Imo slack is just a garbage product to start with. The chat grouping is not intuitive, the notification audio alerts are subtle and easy to miss with no way of changing the tone, and a large chunk of the time I don't receive any notification of any new messages, and the new message won't appear in chat unless I close and reopen the chat.

And I'm definitely not the only one at my job with these issues.

Eh, that's a reasonable mistake to make.

Exactly. My hobby is making my own smart devices, and I can get 10x of one sensor from Ali for the cost of 1x from Amazon.

I'm pretty sure the filters you're talking about are exactly what the converter I'm talking about does, if we're not talking about the same thing (unless you're talking about software filters)

He tried to get his base to kill Hillary during the 2016 election.

But, the GOP has largely turned their backs on trump for a slightly more competent tyrant. There's only a small portion of his cult left.

Man, they need to let the franchise just die. No movie needs 9 sequels.

That's why streaming took off, and why piracy is on the rise again.
