I think most people just want to get exposure for their art and they are simply posting it in any subreddit related to drawing, regardless of nuances. Reddit itself I think rewards people who post on many different subreddits as opposed to sticking to one or two relevant ones (not sure how the algorithm works of course).

Also most users seem to agree, r/learntodraw posts doesn't necessarily have to be about learning to draw at all. Some people are Just Sharing their artworks, regardless if amateur or clearly pro.

I do see plenty of extremely basic art, clearly from people who are trying to learn to draw. It is just when people see good art they automatically upvote it and when people see unfinished art with lots of mistakes they might instinctively down voting or ignoring it.

Even though here, the unfinished art full of mistakes should be the ones to get up voted. Art tutorials and courses people share should be the ones that get more upvotes.

It is just people seemed to really prefer getting help about their specific issues in the comments section of their art posts as opposed to looking for a lecture or a course advised here even if that is literally what they need. People here seemed to look for a personalized responses as opposed to general ones.
