first im hearing of this but I figure might as well post this just to be safe
Update
so people have been saying its just a chain letter and not to worry about it, and Im sure they're right. Its funny that right after i posted this FA got hacked like crazy, weird how the world works
I was talking to a friend awhile back and he was thinking of celebrating 20 years of doing art online, and suggested I do the same. I had looked into it and I have been on DA for 21 years, more than half my life, but instead of celebrating I have been thinking of leaving DA.
See the people in charge of DA doesn't care about art any more, if they ever did. I keep getting notifications about how awesome it is that these AI D-bags made thousands in just a year selling their images. The most I have ever gotten from DA in terms of acknowledgement is them telling me to go say hi to newbies cuz I have been here so long. I don't cuz as this point I feel like I would just tell them to get out now.
Also have to deal with moronic bots on an almost daily basest. "I like your art, I wanna use it as inspiration, i will pay you money" my "blocked" section is exploding with these assholes.
I haven't decided on if I will leave but I might at least just start not posting my art here any more. I will provide some links on other places I post my art, though some of those might change in the future too
thanks for all the support over the years, you all have made drawing worth the time and effort

People keep asking me about commissions and the thing is I kind of stopped doing them because I sort of stopped trusting Paypal. A friend of mine though uses Cash app for their commissions and seems to really like it, so I have been thinking of trying that. I was also wondering do any of you know any thing about cash app? Like is it really good for commissions? Is there any thing i need to know before using it for commissions? Any info would be helpful thank you.
Due to the absurd amount of bots I get in my DMs and notes I don't respond to them any more. I do look but seeing as I'm never sure what's a bot and what isn't I'm just refusing to respond to any unsolicited DMs and notes.
Also just so any one wants to ask in a note or DM. No I don't do requests, and no i'm not taking commissions, my commission status can be found at the top my page. I only do commissions on my Patreon now, and I dont do requests cuz thats not fair to the people that pay me for art. I also only do art trades with people Im close to, as in I have know them for many years.
Ok I think that's all, sorry if any one was made to feel ignored I know how bad that feels that being said until things improve that's how it has to be.
:Before anyone asks, No I'm not open for commissions. I just want to help promote a friend of mine who is open for commissions. They mostly make 3d images, so check out there stuff and consider commissioning them if you like what they do
