well. i do do the stuff in the places with the algorythms. it's a nuisance and time consuming and you aren't alone. i also don't necessarily think its about age. i think it's temperament and also us artists are often too immersed in our work to bother with "documenting for advertising" sakes. we hate self-promotion. which is why my latest post in patreon is about promoting the work, not the self. but yes! subvert! in all the ways possible. we need so much more of this.

O, my dear Jacqui, thouest not alone! :p social media is exhausting to keep up with but I feel, for me, it's the only way to stay in touch with "my people (photography peeps"

I need to concentrate more on "doing the work" than "socializing" via apps and learning new ways to "promote" (looking at you, Reels).

Honestly, it truly is amazing that my background is PR/Marketing because I can't keep up with any of this(!) and I don't want to.
