What a sad life the artist must have to be so callous

[โ€“] dantheclamman 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Being able to make a living through art in any way is tremendous success that most don't achieve, but it seems based on his reaction, it still isn't enough. One lukewarm review (not even a full-on pan) was enough to send him into a spiral of negativity. Definitely an instructive case study about the actual value of social media fame. Can't make you confident in yourself.
