I'm an artist, and its become my preferred social media platform for sharing my work. It's got a wide audience and is slicker to use than Tumblr. Lately I've started using the stories thing to documentary my creation process, it's actually been pretty fun.

What are you on? Tumblr isn't great, but it doesn't force you into its hard to use, storage space gobbling, facebook influenced app. They add insult to insult to insult by having a website that allows uploading, but only presenting it when you pretend to be using a smartphone.

You can't download photos. No collections. No public liking / reblogging. Tumblr has that and allows you to use it on your computer.

Ads on Tumblr are less cancerous. You can ZOOM IN ON PICTURES.
