If anything, social media has enabled newer generations to express themselves in "meaningful" ways more than ever. It may not be as a full-time profession, but plenty of people create for hobby. See: the hundreds of thousands of IG/Youtube accounts for musicians, designers, artists, and amateur poets.
- newsgremlin 7y agoOfcourse we see so many creative people on IG/Youtube I subscribe to those who make meaningful content that inspires me, but there are many more who consume that content, but not create their own, and that's the trap I think a lot of people fall in. That's where people realise they don't actually have any real hobbies. And that's another thing, we shouldn't need social media to feel validated or to compare, people should feel accomplishment in solace of their hobby. Sometimes the expectations of having a huge following online can even have a negative effect on the mental health of online artists. I see many talk about their own struggles and the pressures of being creative (especially the ones who start to make a living off it).
