Just a consideration regarding the web era we are living in now as artists (hope I can call myself one )

Deviant, Facebook, Blog, twitter, Pinterest, Linkedin... and I'm sure I'm missing some of the social "artistoide " medias that many use lately.

It's kinda hard to keep up with the speed and visibility this profession seems to require lately! It just looks like the more active and spam orientated you are the more you are going to get an opportunity of having some sort of visibility and consideration.  

This equation isn't obviously a negative one, the web is a great tool but it is and remains a tool. Sometimes what I personally perceive is that visibility is sometimes more important than pure capability which by a commercial point of view is obviously much more interesting for editors and producers.

So my question is: Is quality still a dominant factor marketwise or have the artist's web medias influenced the commercial industries to the point that the visibility and the spamming are the only requisite?

Till next time!
