Do you have to use social media as an Artist?

 No.

It will hinder your growth as an artist. 

The question is, do you want to benefit from all the good things by being an artist?

Then the answer is No. You must not use social media. 

Social media doesn't connect you with other people. It fakes connection. 

But when you don't use it, you will have a genuine connection with other people. Real people.

The main reason is you are outside the noise now. 

When you are outside the noise, you are communicating with God.

Satan doesn't like that. He wants distraction. Some trickery to make you not travel straight like a beam of light. It provokes him. 

Social media is the classic work of the devil.

Like that bard man Marx, who came with equality and created mass inequality, social media came with connection and created mass disconnection.

It all started with beta brains, like Steve Jobs. He wanted to change the world. For what? 

A purpose which is not centered around a greater goodness, an ideal which has proven over time is evil.

Beta brains don't know this. 

Cut out social media now. 

Search for content and read it on a blog.

Search for people and find out.

That is the way. Read books. 

Have a good day.
