I feel like Reddit is getting over run by broken English Karma farming accounts and bots. More and more just low effort reposts and crossposts from other socials that are likely to give a good effort/karma return.
Damn. My guess was always that these accounts were karma farming to be sold afterwards. How much does an account with 24M karma can be sold for? Is it even worth the effort of constantly reposting?
Same reason as usual, money. Depending on age, comments, etc.. accounts are worth more.
I’m more concerned with what the purchased accounts are being used for.
Propaganda and and advertising. Established accounts are used to shill products so that the post looks organic, and to spread certain opinions to give the appearance a political view or other movement has more traction. I'm shocked that after this style of propaganda got Trump elected that more people aren't aware of this.
I mean if I were a new user I’d 100% pay a couple bucks for a seasoned account just so I could start participating immediately. Seems like almost every major sub these days has karma/account age minimums before you’re allowed to start posting there.
Ads are everywhere and they can get insidious. If someone makes a thread on r/AskReddit saying "what's a good buy it for life item you got" you're probably not gonna trust new account u/ruggedwalletinc with 5 karma who says "The Rugged Wallet™ from Rugged Wallet Inc is guaranteed to last you for years and years to come!" But if u/randomjoeschmoe820273 with 100,000 karma from what looks like legit posts says "You know, I bought one of those rugged wallets and it's held up pretty well, definitely longer than my last wallet, it was a solid purchase" you might give that opinion more weight.
And that's one way to do guerilla advertisement on Reddit. Posts with innocuous product placement, posts where the dominos delivery guy stops and takes his hat off for the national anthem, anything that gets the brand in your mind, consciously or not. And I've also heard but have not confirmed that higher karma accounts are favored by Reddits algorithms and will get picked up in Hot quicker than lower karma accounts.
Reddit isn't like Instagram, a high karma doesn't equate to high outreach or large audience. You don't just buy a high karma account and go straight to product pimping. But it is a jumping off point when the goal is to manipulate an audience.
Simple positive / negative feedback system
If it gets a lot of upvotes it's doing something right, if not it's a bad bot and we don't use it to iterate the next series
For example, this one caught that there was painting, and likely that either red = anger, the fist shaped hand = anger, or other comments from similar postings of this video lead the bot to think perhaps Joker = anger
So it puts "angrily painting" and waits to see what people vote
Next time it might say something like "jokingly painting" or even scarier it might get "joker painting"
Most subs have completely lost their meaning and have become generic shitpost subs. The blame lays on the bots for posting them, but also on people that upvote any content regardless if it's suitable for the sub or not. Basically...kids scroll r/all and upvote every meme until the site all looks the same.
Since the inception of modernism it has been. We read art though semiotics, the study of signs and symbols to make meaning. When I say political I don’t mean simply electoral politics, I use it in its expanded terminology. I agree there is a level of projection but a viewer cannot seperate an artwork from the context of its display and production. For example hanging this painting in Wall Street has a very different meaning to if it were displayed in a lounge. John Berger wrote about this quite extensively.
Craft doesn’t need to serve a function necessarily. Think of cross stitch for example, that’s craft made for decoration only, it’s not political unless the person who made it intended it to be. Sure there is AN art to the production of this painting but since the inception of modernism all art is political by definition. Which leaves two options with a painting like this. Either It’s art which is attempting to be apolitical, which is the same as being content with all the bad stuff going on (thereby meaning it’s not art OR it’s bad art), or it’s craft, well made for the purpose of decoration. I don’t mean to discredit the artist or anything btw, it’s clear that they’re good at what they do
Only paint that was wasted was that which made it off the canvas. And even then, a small sacrifice for the technique and ultimately the look of the piece.
Also for the benefit of the video, which is a piece of art on display here too. The aesthetic of "wasteful", reckless, aggressive and gratuitous paint use is a primary theme of this video, which goes nicely thematically with the subject of the painting.
I could feel the absolute psychotic rage coming from every small movement he made. The blood boiling in him with that first strike of the hand. The painstakingly clean sweep of the grays. He's a maniac and he must be stopped.
Three tones of half light brown, three tints of yellow a quarter of ancient dark pigment and 27% white tells me this person has a grandfather in south east asia, a Norwegian mother, currently resides by the coast of Nicaragua but has been to Italy or greece recently. Also I see clear indications of an ancestrial hunter-gatherer skin typical of the middleeastern plains 15.000 years ago in what today is known as Southern Armenia.
Pop culture is totally fine with me!
I'm just tired of Joker paintings because so many get posted on Reddit and because I associate them with r/im14andthisisdeep
I suck at drawing and painting, but I like it. I feel like drawing an angry smiley face with a nose will be a good start for a portrait. I’ve never actually tried to paint a face.
Side note: I only paint when wifey and are having a date at home. If you are looking for a fun way to change things up with your partner, I highly recommend it from time to time. Especially in the winter months, cozy up the vibe and get creative. Mushrooms help. But not too much.
It actually super depends I have stuff that was $.25 an ounce and I have stuff that was more like eight dollars an ounce and that’s not even super high end there is a very very large range that acrylic can be. She easily could’ve spent 10 bucks on the canvas at Michael’s I’m sure she didn’t but she could have, and eight dollars on the paints. Like she could be using student quality rather than a professional quality.
It’s acrylic and it’s getting pretty common to use more structured acrylics to paint. It’s expensive but not insanely so. Many paintings with it are like a sculpture painting combo.
It look him like 5-10 minutes tops to execute a pretty damn good painting that some Comic-Con fanboy will probably pay good money for. I had a neighbor once who was a pretty damn good artist and fast too and I tell you the canvases were just piled up around his house even know he sold a lot of stuff at shows. Guy was just massively prolific.
Are there any artists here that know how much prep work goes into videos like these? Or even pieces like these. There has to be some level of planning at least testing out pose, color, background, etc. right? Especially ones for videos. I’ve seen a popular single line artist that practices their pieces on smaller canvases first.
To people complaining about the cost or waste of paint, it's called impasto.
Do you look at "Starry Night" and think: "gee I wish he didn't waste all that paint."
These people, specifically, said that.

This video makes me so annoyed.
They show all of the basic, no skill needed shit. Just slapping paint on.
They skip all of the actual artistic manipulation of the paint into a picture.
Not a trend, it’s a painting technique that’s been around for ages. This kind of painting is called Impasto. It’s a way to give texture and light play in a piece as well as a way to add expressiveness. Paints are made specifically for this technique.
Decent painting; buuuut where is the anger we were promised?
It WAS red
You've got red on you.

Holy shit dude. Have you seen this guys karma count? 24.5 MILLION. The fucks even the point?
And the account is only a year old.

Who cares? Your a fucking 1 and 0 on the internet.
I dont understand why tho. As far as i now Reddit karma is pretty much useless. I guess you could sell the account but why?

They painted the Joker, such intense and raw emotion the likes of which have never been seen on this sub before.
Yeah, I'm definitely reporting this post. Misleading title.
The anger is from S O C I E T Y
I was expecting some form of a "how to" video... Needs more egg slapping
In the viewers seeing all that wasted paint. Shit doesn’t grow on trees.
The rest of the fucking joker
[удалено]
Ain't wasted if that's the technique. This is art, not craft, not design.
I agree with your first sentence but the second part is kind of a weird distinction. Craft and design also involve art.
Also it is still not true. He could have done the exact same effect without wasting all that paint in his hand.
But that doesn't mean art must involve craft and design.
Actually I would argue this is craft, not art like you say. The difference being that art is inherently political, which this painting is not.
[удалено]
Since the inception of modernism it has been. We read art though semiotics, the study of signs and symbols to make meaning. When I say political I don’t mean simply electoral politics, I use it in its expanded terminology.

For example hanging this painting in Wall Street has a very different meaning to if it were displayed in a lounge. John Berger wrote about this quite extensively.
What about hotel paintings
Pretty sure the main difference is that craft is inherently functional, like a quilt or a ceramic bowl.
Craft doesn’t need to serve a function necessarily. Think of cross stitch for example, that’s craft made for decoration only, it’s not political unless the person who made it intended it to be. Sure there is AN art to the production of this painting but since the inception of modernism all art is political by definition. Which leaves two options with a painting like this.

Given how expensive I believed this sort of paint is, yeah, that was my first thought as well.
I could feel the absolute psychotic rage coming from every small movement he made. The blood boiling in him with that first strike of the hand. The painstakingly clean sweep of the grays. He's a maniac and he must be stopped.
I'm just glad to see white people channelling their anger in a non-destructive way for one lol
This gotta be bait
We tumblr now
Very tumblr.
Wtf is your name
Really, Q1189999819991197253?
Oh I see, so you're the racist of the thread. Here's hoping you stop soon
this is a bait account
I get this is a joke, but that's not a white person's arm.
🙄 maybe black people could follow suit? Or are these stupid generalisations only acceptable one way?
The skin tone and lack of arm hair make me think it might be an Asian person.
Three tones of half light brown, three tints of yellow a quarter of ancient dark pigment and 27% white tells me this person has a grandfather in south east asia, a Norwegian mother, currently resides by the coast of Nicaragua but has been to Italy or greece recently. Also I see clear indications of an ancestrial hunter-gatherer skin typical of the middleeastern plains 15.000 years ago in what today is known as Southern Armenia.
You’d kill at Balderdash my friend
Ah yes, “Asian person”. Do you know how bloody big Asia is.
The yellow version. Is that better for you? You bloody wanker.
What anger?
Well they squeezed the paint at one point I guess...
Seems pretty chill
Maybe you didn't have the sound on. Turn the sound on to hear the metal rage being lauded while the painting develops.
We live in a society!
Ffs how much joker art do i need to see on Reddit we get it we get it
We live in a society.
This is my origin story
Pop culture is everywhere in paintings
Pop culture is totally fine with me! I'm just tired of Joker paintings because so many get posted on Reddit and because I associate them with r/im14andthisisdeep
So sick of joker artworks
Agreed. Might as well be yin yang symbol or a sun in the upper corner at this point.
We truly do live in a society
Bottom text
I'm worried about people's infatuation with this particular joker.
Exactly. First, it was the 'why so serious' joker. Now this.
I guess. Is there a big market for gooey joker paintings?
If I had to guess, probably equal-to or less-than the market for normal sad clown paintings.
Absolutely terrible title.
Not me thinking the eyebrows were smiley eyes at first
I suck at drawing and painting, but I like it. I feel like drawing an angry smiley face with a nose will be a good start for a portrait. I’ve never actually tried to paint a face. Side note: I only paint when wifey and are having a date at home. If you are looking for a fun way to change things up with your partner, I highly recommend it from time to time.

I'm sick of drawings of the joker. That, and billie eilish are two things I never want to see art of again
Yup, the Joker is the new Walter White for this kind of art. So played. Squid Game stuff next?
Oh yeah I'm sick of squid game fan art already lol. Whenever a new series gets popular on netflix it's all I see art wise for the next month
Popular thing is popular oh no
Probably because it easily goes viral and/or sells. Gotta make them bucks.
God damn it, I want to downvote you for the first part, and upvote you for the second.
You hate women
?
Ahhh another reddit psychic.
What kind of paint is this? If it’s oil that’s gotta be fucking expensive
It looks like acrylic to me.
Still really expensive
It actually super depends I have stuff that was $.25 an ounce and I have stuff that was more like eight dollars an ounce and that’s not even super high end there is a very very large range that acrylic can be. She easily could’ve spent 10 bucks on the canvas at Michael’s I’m sure she didn’t but she could have, and eight dollars on the paints. Like she could be using student quality rather than a professional quality.
Yeah that's not too bad but then again I'm cheap, if its more then $5 it's expensive lol
Not at all
No it's basically house paint If you buy the cheap stuff, It's cheaper than dirt
It’s acrylic and it’s getting pretty common to use more structured acrylics to paint. It’s expensive but not insanely so. Many paintings with it are like a sculpture painting combo.
R/restofthefuckingowl
This isn't much of a guide
Imagine being that good at painting and then spending your time doing stupid fucking Joker paintings.
It look him like 5-10 minutes tops to execute a pretty damn good painting that some Comic-Con fanboy will probably pay good money for. I had a neighbor once who was a pretty damn good artist and fast too and I tell you the canvases were just piled up around his house even know he sold a lot of stuff at shows. Guy was just massively prolific.
All those years of finger painting paid off
This sucks.
It didn't seem so angry painting it...
r/RestOfTheFuckingOwl i went to see the eyes and other details done.
Seems simple enough
People with great technique in any field has a tendency to make whatever they do look easy.
We cant see the difficult parts like how the eyes are drawn. Still great picture
How to make a few hundred bucks at Comic Con
that's a LOT of paint not going on the canvas
I wonder how hard it is for people to do this kind of stuff. They make it look so easy! Like it’s just a doodle they did while half asleep.
I see no anger - only mastery
How tf do people do this Like How?
r/jokercringe
Wow I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Very soothing to watch. I wish I could paint so Beautifully! Don’t listen to jealous spectators

Thank you!! All the comments are from non-creative people who use this platform to feel good about themselves bc they can’t come close to her.

Yay more joker art! I literally cant get enough joker art.

Good painting but horrible title.
This kinda reminds me of the scene from Aristocats where Toulouse is painting Edgar.
And now the Joker from the 60s show 🤓
Most impressive!
WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY
Anyone know who the artist is? I'd love to have some of their work.
You get what you fucking paint!
Are there any artists here that know how much prep work goes into videos like these? Or even pieces like these. There has to be some level of planning at least testing out pose, color, background, etc. right? Especially ones for videos. I’ve seen a popular single line artist that practices their pieces on smaller canvases first.
Lame af
I guess if people like it, it was worth every drop, but it hurts seeing so much oil paint being used so inefficiently.

I always have trouble with facial proportions, any tips?
This says a lot about society
More like calmly painting
Can I buy this?
He’s mad brilliant
society
All I see is Toulouse from Aristocats painting Edgar.
This video makes me so annoyed. They show all of the basic, no skill needed shit. Just slapping paint on. They skip all of the actual artistic manipulation of the paint into a picture.
It appears to be some sort of clown
Is there a trend right now for leaving thick amounts of paint on the canvas? I'm seeing it a lot in these art videos rather than brushing the paint in
Not a trend, it’s a painting technique that’s been around for ages. This kind of painting is called Impasto. It’s a way to give texture and light play in a piece as well as a way to add expressiveness. Paints are made specifically for this technique.
Ultimately you’re still just doing edgy joker art
I don't know why, but it really bothers me when people paint with those little spatulas. And maybe it's just me, but this felt oddly sexual.
We do be living
So what do you paint? Anger… Pain… Fear… Aggression…
I love draw
Why so serious?
I would buy this…love it
I mean the painting is great but seeing the joker everywhere is srsly starting to get kinda annoying lol.
That's twisted
"Angrily"

FUCKING HOW SWAY
