RE: Why do artists stay on Facebook?
Interesting thoughts and it makes me wonder, why I'm still there... For my wife's café it is clear, because to date it is simply a working tool, to advertise the business locally. Our main target group is there...
For me as an individual? To share a few things with friends, who are not on platforms like steemit. Again.. its just, because most of the people I know are there.
As an artist, I'm not active enough on fb, to really see it make a difference. I was... many years ago and so I gained quite a following. But then they blocked me and stuff and I lost interest. Too much work anyways :-/
Every now and then I post something, but again, its mostly for people I know and so its... convenient. Which doesn't make it better, I know :-(
I left a long time ago and am just following the debate from afar. I think what provokes me is the whining from the political artists that ought to be conscious about what Facebook really is - how dangerous it is. I understand the reasons you and other people have for staying, but by investing time in blogging here you already are on your way in another direction. I remember that I felt left out for a week... and then it didn't matter any more. Facebook was forgotten, just like a bad dream.
