@Wildfire: Same. this time it wanted my phone number to send me my code
instead of the usual emailing me.
so i couldn't really do anything until wait until my new phone gets here.
we had planned to get me a new phone anyways lol.

I'm very excited for the new phone. It's a more upgraded version phone my dad and sis have.
but now i won't need to worry as much on space with my speed paint video time lapses and such.
my current one only hs 16GB and the new one has 128GB so that will be very nice.

@Purpsy: Yesss exactly this! It's so damaging to keep up with these dumb algorithms.
a year ago my IG was doing so well, but IG keeps changing how things work
that i had dropped from over 200 accounts reaching to barely even 20.

You shouldn't "change" the algorithm just because it's working for people...that's so damaging..

Honestly same. tho since my family is very broke, and no one works at all but me sorta im trying my best
to put myself out there and work on my craft more and improve.
as we just desperately need to move out.

@Purpsy: yeah same. i think the best way to get work noticed is fanart.
my fanwork seems to do quite well on twitter.
a lot of people just say to be consistent, and get work out there as best as you can.
most say don't use hashtags but i think using 2-3 hashtags works good on twitter.
I only get between 2-5 likes but to me that's a lot for twitter LOL.

Algorithms are such a pain in general.
yeah unfortunately there is quite a bit of toxic people in art community on twitter.
twitter just has a lot of toxic people and every community has some.
the two fandoms i am a part of always have toxic people in it which makes me scared to post my work in general lol.

@Purpsy: twitter is a common place
to post art, but the algorithm really messes with things.
a lot of what i see is small artists posts will get hidden because they have small following, links don't work
and certain words make their work get hidden like if you advertise your commissions.
twitter for me is so hard to get around to getting my work out there lol.
so IG has been pretty decent. IG and my twitch are probably my best platforms.

@Purpsy: yeah that is true.
I have several places i post online as backups but my art just does not get much
attention on those places. :vanora_sweat:

@Synth: Yeah that is true. Normally they send codes through email if you forgot the password.
but i was even logged in which is the weirdest part and then it was like "yeah you need a code and a phone number so we can send it to your phone."

so it was just so weird how it happened.
but since my phone is arriving tuesday im hoping there wont be any issues beyond that.


@Purpsy: i have no idea if i am just the weird one it just happened to happen to me
or if i did something wrong to cause it. but either way IG is honestly so annoying. i wish my following was more so on twitter
tbh but i just don't know how to grow otherwise on any other site other than IG.

@Synth: I so agree!
I honestly do not get why if a phone is required you wouldn't tell the people who
use the app via email about this sudden change?
As not everyone has a phone or can just easily get a phone.

I had gotten a phone hand-me-down as my sister had her new phone a year or two ago
and so i just used the hand me down because i didn't really need to call or text anyone
and just needed one to edit videos and post to IG when I could.
and then out of nowhere im required a number???

@Shark: quite embarrassing lol. mostly since my writing is not very good.
I'm not very creative.
but now i feel i must give the people a second chapter.
especially if they keep reading it lol.
My writing never got more than a second glance, so when i found out people were reading it, and even got a follower
on my writer site i now feel i gotta get back into writing lol.

@Wildfire: its fine hoping things get resolved
since i got weirdly locked out of my own IG art account lol. so that's been a bit annoying.
but my phone should be arriving on Tuesday so im excited for that.

@Stinky: my sister is on it to support my art and see my work. so if she gets locked out i'd hate to have her number if she needs it lol.

@cooperationiskey: all i did was scroll my explore. nothing abnormal. logged me out and when it logged in it only wanted my number to get back in. no warning email or anything.

but glad im at least getting a phone so I'll eventually get back in lol

@Stinky: tbh i just rather not in case IG decides to pull something on
my sibling's phone because then she can't use her own number if she also gets locked out.

but my dad ordered me a phone so i can use my own soon.
