It's really fucked over those of us who got by on boring internal corporate art bc it got replaced first. Nobody's asking me for slide deck presentations or concept animation or Christmas card illustrations anymore and I had no online presence built up, I want to be an artist not an "influencer" :(

It is absolutely awful. Finding it exactly the same for accounts like we have for @tuatha.ie, and imagine other travel, educational, photography accounts suffer too. It's the eutrophication of the internet, and I cant see how it gets better, without a brand new, non-AI internet being built.

I used to be able to pay my rent, and occasionally both mine and Lucy's rent when she was between jobs, through my Etsy store. And as the site got more and more filled with slop, squeezing out real artists, it decimates discoverability, I barely sell like 2 prints a month now, if even.
