days ofbeing wILD

This is just one of many examples on how things like twitter and facebook changed the cyberworld, in a bad way.
This picture was submited in early 2007.

Sector 7 Cityscape by ~amano–wILD7 on deviantART
Since then it received about 5000 views, and 140 comments. It got picked by admins to be shown in a best-of news article, and received a lot of praise.
in reality its really just some fancy colored buildings i drew WITHOUT a fucking ruler. Its mediocre at best, but who cares rite.
Now, more than 2 years later i submitted this piece (Its the most popular artwork on my new dA account)

Starscream by ~wild7even on deviantART
It received 2300 views, but was only commented 11 times. I have put about 3 times as many hours into this, i used skillful techniques only known to the elders of some far away galaxy and last but not least I USED A FUCKING RULER, so the lines are like… straight..
And thats were Twitter and Facebook and everything related comes into play. These “Platforms” invented the new “Online attention span” to the public. Messages cannot be longer than oneliners, have the information value of “I gotta pee.” and are only followed by a collection of refollowers. Blame myspace for this. “Hello i took 3 seconds to load your page, please add me as your best friend foreva”. Whatever happened to “I like your style, would you care about some feedback?”?!
Sorry about the rant but i really miss “back then”. It was way more exciting, now its not even woth to take the time to upload stuff anymore.
