I worked for the Borg hive known as "the industry," Then quit to make more money alone on social media.

If people want a burger at 3AM just give them a burger. Nobody cares if it was made with love. You're providing a service.
Anything that looks good will always be appealing, but accept that nobody who's not an artist will know who sargent is, or the appeal of a proper understanding of anatomy, perspective, etc.

How can "realize everything has the same amount of attention regardless of skill level" be a true statement when all the super popular artists like Sakimichan, Kron, Cyarine, Loish, Nebezial, Artgerm etc are clearly all above a certain skill level that is objectively way higher than that of most artists who follow and admire them? I think you are vastly underestimating the knowledge of the fundamentals most of these popular artists have. Outside of postmodern gallery type art, there are very few genuinely bad artists who have become very popular.

Then get into the professional circle. Followers aren't money. Artstation profiles get what, 5000 views? 100 followers? And they're the ones making all the fucking money, and not having to push their prints and streams constantly.

Only artists care about art skills. Same as chefs admiring fancy/difficult/expensive foods.
If you go to a japanese steakhouse and see the hip old asian man do a flip with his spatula, it doesn't make the food taste any better, but it's a part of the reason why you went there in the first place.
There's lots of equivalents in digital art. That's why dA-style and tumblr-style are things. Most people don't know enough about steak to know whether or not it's a good steak.
Same as how most people can't tell if a painting is skillful or not. It's based entirely off of spectacle and things like that. You need an education to truly appreciate a steak, but anyone can admire the sizzle.

Those artists you've named were not viral overnight successes All of them were grinding their following since the early days of 4chan..
Sakimichan was drawing bishonen and pioneering the dA-style with her 8 tutorials that every body read. Kron was an atelier fag than a concept artist. Loish was cloning Mucha and Larusso in art school. Nebezial was freelancing. Artgerm was grinding fundamentals with his OC.

Sure they all were good, but it wasn't their skill that made their following grow. it was their appeal, fanart, and commissions. They provided a service.
An emergent art style I've been seeing these past few years is "high-school doodles" Badly drawn art that looks like it was done in class by the stoner kid. It's all over soundcloud, tumblr, instagram, etc.

GUWEIZ isn't nearly as skilled as Kron for example but he's building a massive following It's not about skill, it's appeal.

you've never looked at the album covers on soundcloud?
This post 'x-wave' climate is filled with that style of art.
Used both ironically and unironically.

I never paid attention to them. I was more focused on the music, desu
