Mexico is considered in 2022 the second country in Latin America that registers the most internet users per day, with 96 million being the official number.
An independent artist shared her experience in the environment of the social media. Although it is an incredible advantage that was not previously available, it has its disadvantages. Among others, the wide competition between artists from different countries and even the lack of resources.
This aspect of social media does not only affect musicians, but all kinds of content creators. Recognizing an artistic concept could also facilitate the fight for positioning in networks.
Social media has become a staple for virtually any content creator. The growth of this area has made networks like TikTok, Instagram and Twitch increasingly used.
It has been reported that, at present, there are about five billion people connected to the Internet. Of course, from social networks, Facebook it is the one that leads the market with just over three billion registered users so far.
Likewise, We Are Social, hoot-suite Y data report reveal in a study that Mexico is considered in 2022 the second country in Latin America that registers the most internet users per day, with 96 million being the official number.
Added to this, TikTok has started to figure in several countries, to such an extent that, in 2021, the platform created by ByteDance has already exceeded one billion active users in just five years since its foundation.
On the other hand, Twitch, which is also one of the new social networks, has been so successful that at the beginning of 2021, the hours viewed on the platform of Twitter doubled the numbers for YouTube Gaming and Facebook Gaming combined.
These data indicate that it is increasingly pertinent to create spaces not only for content creators, but also for independent artists. So much was the stir of a child on YouTube that years later he would become the famous Justin Bieber. However, today such cases are becoming increasingly rare, as competition is increasing. Having a Spotify profile can no longer be a luxury, it is now a necessity for every artist.
An independent artist known as Sabrina Marlo shared his feelings about the phenomenon of social media. The growth of these networks has meant that artists must increasingly consider these spaces.
It seems that long gone are the times when artists could dedicate themselves only to music. However, today’s world is multifaceted, so they must be too. For example, he mentions that one of the most difficult points is dealing with the lack of followers.
Take the time to appreciate people’s art beyond who they are or who they hang out with. if they see each other cool on Instagram or not. there really is a lot talent. There is a lot of content of great value and with a lot of meaning. So if we want to do something about it, it hurts all of you and me.or this topic we have to make that small change.
The image projected by social networks is important to a certain extent, however, for an independent artist it is even more so. The lack of knowledge of certain topics could make it take you twice as long as others to make your project go viral.

A similar case occurs with some independent filmmakers on digital platforms. These have had to share their creative process and promote the results of their work under their own means. and although this a priori is nothing new, it does speak of the dependence of new artists on growth in social media. Also, this exploitation of privacy could be an indication of how social boundaries are dissipating.
