The Artists and the Internet of the 2000s.
What life was like to the artists in the early 2000s compare to today artist in 2022?
Even without Fiverr and few other freelance sites, most artists (including myself) love to post our art on Myspace. And the fans love it. Myspace used to be the home to artists and their creative work of art compared it to social medias such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter today. Believe it or not, most art lovers usually had their favorite artists on their Myspace's top 5 friend list, and I was one of those on their top favorite too! Those was good time.

Where do artist get their art promote before YouTube in early 2000s?
It was crazy that DeviantArt existed in 2000s -- the early year of the internet such AOL (America Online) at the time YouTube didn't even come out in the early 2000s, when I was still a teenager in sophomore during high school year, especially in art class. We get our art exposed to the public by our teacher teachers. And today, with rise of the social medias, the artists turned to YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter over DeviantArt and Artstation. Because these social medias were too good for their work to get a lot of attentions from the audiences, and these social medias are now become the biggest social media giants and is the home to every artists for showing off their work on Facebook business pages today in 2022.

How do artists get a commission work without Fiverr, Upwork and other freelance site in 2000s?
DeviantArt and in school, of course.

With the social medias today, Instagram finally become the biggest part of artist's life; showing off skills, the work of art. Not just artists, but photographers as well. You can see every contents and video fill with fashion model, clothing, art, selfie pictures and... maybe music? Not sure about music, but yes I have seen some musicians upload their cover art of their band as well.

Even though the 2000s isn't all that bad compared it to the 80's and the 90's. Those times are still the best decade to those artists who were born in the 1970 and the 1980, but grew up in the 90's.
