Great Episode. Very interesting. I agree with a lot of stuff David said. Plus he is at a point where he definitely is doing better without social media. And I believe the statement about the happiness and cult totally see myself in a few years also not being active. Being present like having accounts with the function compared to a business card is a nice goal.
And until then I hope to use it as a connection and marketing tool further.
We shouldn’t forget that years ago, artists hadn’t had the chance to curate and show their own work like that, which is a huge achievement. But the time is sucks up is really something scary, also of course the unnecessary pressure to have a steady output – thats just unrealistic and I hope people don’t fall for that trap.
Thank you David and Daniel for that very interesting and entertaining episode.
Best regards from Switzerland

Dear Daniel,
I am a Miami Beach based photographer and 150% resonate with the content of this podcast.
I went cold turkey on social media and everything Big Tech related as much as possible in January and couldn’t be happier, relieved and productive. I feel like I broke the chains!
I found this podcast channel in my quest to explore alternative art / photography spaces.
Please keep with this enriching work, it’s very inspiring!
Dear Kathrin,
Thanks for the kind comments! First I am glad that you have been able to distance yourself from social media … I have been doing a similar thing in particular with Instagram.
Also very glad that you like the podcast! I always love hearing from listeners, and it keeps me motivated to produce more content 😉
Best regards,
Daniel
