I’ve been on this week site for 18 years. My art had improved over time.
I’ve tried my best to post as often as possible.
But, Life issues, High School, than College more struggling happened.
Had the shingles, almost died of MRSA(2015), and even survived Covid/19.
It seems like no matter what I post and how often it gets buried.
I try fan art. It fizzles.
I’ve tried original. It fizzles here.
I’ve tried adult art. We’ll most websites bury and ban that content.
So.
The last straw here was when DeviantArt decided to take our art and push it into an AI system. Without first even given us the option to opt out.
And even when they did give us the option. Did it really make a difference?
I’ve deleted all my artwork. I’ll most post on my IG/BlueSky maybe Twitter.
But, even in those places.
The algorithm is not fair.
People have been testing on and off and only pretend reposting you stuff works.
The world has also already decided that Ai Scrapping is the way to go.
I do not.
I feel the world will regret ever going far enough to damn the ones they take from.
Either way.
If your a follower and see this, if your a watcher that still wants to see my stuff.
WalkerMonet, WalkerMonetArtist. Are my go too name.
Bye,
