As an artist, I do appreciate where she is coming from. She wants to share her art with the world and spread the love to fellow artists and wants the same love in return. I can’t help to feel offended. I’m a silent admirer, she’s a great artist. I do ‘like’ her work but I’m not a commenter. I have lots of things going on right now but that doesn’t mean I don’t like the work of those who I follow. Not everyone can afford the time to make a detailed comment back. I agree a simple thank you is appreciated but on a media like Instagram it’s tough to have that as an expectation.
Don’t forget the silent admirers.
PS – oh, I’ve decided to keep follower this Instagramer, regardless of how she feels, I like her work. If she feels offended if I don’t say anything, she can block me
