  • The Secret Reason Your Art Gets No Likes!
    What if shadowbanning isn’t just an algorithmic glitch—but a curse? A silencing spell cast on witches, weirdos, and worldbuilders?And what if breaking that curse means reclaiming your visibility, your voice, and your magic—one uncensored post at a time?In this bold and galvanizing solo episode of Your Art Is A Spell, Edgar Fabián Frías invites us deep into the heart of shadowbanning—what it is, who it targets, and how to resist it with spellcraft, strategy, and soul.Drawing from lived experience as a queer, Indigenous, multidisciplinary artist and educator, Edgar unpacks how the algorithm quietly disappears creators who dare to be too real, too radical, too embodied. From sex workers to activists, witches to fat queer artists—entire communities are vanishing from feeds, silenced without warning.But we don’t disappear quietly. We haunt.This isn’t just an episode—it’s a counter-spell. A reminder that your art has power beyond the platform. A call to dream beyond the algorithm.🎧 Tune in to discover:🕳️ What shadowbanning really is—and why platforms pretend it doesn’t exist 🧙 Who gets shadowbanned (spoiler: it’s not random) 🌀 How to cast counter-spells: from engagement pods to code-switching captions 📬 Why newsletters and personal websites are magical tools for liberation 🖨️ How zines, flyers, and word-of-mouth keep art alive offline 🕸️ The importance of creative covens and collective amplification 🔥 Why quitting a platform can be an act of radical love—and not disappearance 👻 What it means to become uncensorable, to be the ghost in the machineThis episode is for anyone who’s ever posted something sacred only to watch it vanish. For those who have been told their work is too much, too weird, too honest, too queer. For those still making spells in the shadows.You are not alone. You are not broken. And your art is still a spell—even when no one clicks "like."✨ Listen, share, and conjure new pathways of connection—because the algorithm was never meant to hold our magic anyway.Let this episode be a love letter to your persistence, your wildness, and your refusal to be erased. Because your art is a spell—and it will outlive every shadowban.Timestamps00:00 – Intro: Your Art Is a SpellWhat if your most magical post disappears into the void?00:29 – What Is Shadowbanning?The algorithm whispers “silencio”—but it’s not your imagination.00:52 – Shadowbanning = A 21st Century Witch HuntHow algorithms bury artists, witches, and truth-tellers.01:18 – Signs You’ve Been ShadowbannedHow to know when your content is being silenced.01:44 – Who Gets Targeted (and Why)Witches, queers, educators, activists, and creators pushing against the norm.02:33 – Shadowbanning Patterns & Real-World ExamplesHow artists and communities are disproportionately impacted.03:20 – From Artists to Activists: The Censorship ListWho's on the algorithm's hit list and why it matters.04:03 – My Shadowban StoriesHow my reach plummeted after speaking truth through art.04:50 – Be Safe, Be Quiet, Be Sellable?

  • 5 Money Mindset Shifts Every Artist Needs
    🔥 What if the stories we’ve been told about money and art are keeping us broke?In this episode of Your Art is a Spell, I’m breaking down 5 transformative money mindset shifts every artist needs to break free from financial struggle.So many artists are taught that making money means selling out… that art and business can’t mix… that struggling is a badge of honor. But what if those beliefs are the real barriers to sustainability and freedom?From my days working minimum wage in a call center to building a sustainable, creative career, I’m sharing the exact mindset shifts that helped me stop struggling financially, without compromising my values or my art.We’ll explore:💥 The myth of “fixed resources” and how artists can create new possibilities💥 Why “art vs. business” is a false binary (and why embracing both creates freedom)💥 How to stop waiting passively and start positioning yourself strategically💥 Why community abundance beats independent struggle💥 How to move from fear of asking to confidence in your value✨ Because thriving artists make freer art.
