twitter is dead. what’s the next social media platform for artists?

We NEED to talk about the decline of Twitter. Thank you to Squarespace for sponsoring this video: https://squarespace.com/kelseyrodriguez So, Threads launched last week. While I'm pretty sad about Twitter's painful and prolonged death (because let's be real, how can they come back from this?? there are new scandals EVERY WEEK) I'm also really conflicted about Thread's existence, and it's parent company: Meta. Twitter has been going downhill ever since Elon Musk purchased it last year, and the vibrant artistic community that used to live there is increasingly moving off-platform. So where are artists supposed to go next? Is Threads the next social media platform for artists and creative content creators? Let's talk about it. 💬 JOIN OUR FREE DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.com/servers/the-studio-lounge-805831366406438912 🌟 Shop prints of my artwork: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/kelseyrodriguez/ ⚙️ ARTICLES & SOURCES ⚙️ ○ https://hbr.org/2023/07/threads-foreshadows-a-big-and-surprising-shift-in-social-media ○ https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/07/14/twitter-is-dying-is-it-time-for-news-subscriptions-to-follow/d8f37c0e-2255-11ee-8994-4b2d0b694a34_story.html ○ https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-killed-twitter-irrelevant-meta-threads-debt-mark-zuckerberg-2023-7 🍿 WATCH NEXT: How I Study As a Self Taught Artist: https://youtu.be/cnqCUSMhb5E Setting up my NEW art studio: https://youtu.be/phmuOFrSkl0 How Brooke Cormier made $80k selling her art on Instagram: https://youtu.be/1K9U3O0fMQI 💕 Check out my notion templates & resources for artists: https://www.kelseyrodriguez.com/shop 📖 RESOURCES FOR ARTISTS ✏️ New Master's Art Academy* (this is how I'm learning art online, and is an affiliate link that helps support the channel): https://www.nma.art/?ref=137 📚 My art book collection: https://bookshop.org/lists/my-art-book-collection 🎨 How I plan my paintings: https://milanote.com/kelseyrodriguez ⚙️ GEAR & FURNITURE ⚙️ *referral / affiliate links* ○ Desk & Chair From Fully: https://bit.ly/3U8xJXt ○ My monitor stand and fave desk accessories: https://bit.ly/3fr5e8A ○ Main Camera - Sony FX30: https://amzn.to/3ZxxKYH ○ My lens filter: https://www.moment.8ocm68.net/RyZ9P9 ○ Where I get my music from: https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/so8fhf/ * Referral or affiliate links in this description allow me to gain a small commission off of any purchases you make through the link, at no extra cost to you.
