For those wondering where all my work has gone, I'm not displaying art anymore. I just recently saw the announcement to "opt out in the next few days to avoid being used as source material to create AI art" a few months after it was posted. I wonder how many people who no longer come here and who have forgotten their accounts are now fodder for an AI beast without their knowledge.

Even if I had seen the opt out notice in time, I'd still be deleting my stuff given that they're doing it as a money grab -- not doing it as an "opt-in" choice and sharing the proceeds with artists. It's a pattern of garbage, from the "rebranding" idiot logo update distracting from the site finally developing a pathetic app version to the constant thefts from the site to the growing attempts to get money for little return, this site is no longer what it once was.

There are too many other art-hosting and selling sites, most better built for a certain aspect you'd want (hosting portfolios, having community, selling stuff, learning technique, not being associated with furries or inflation porn, being associated with furries or inflation porn...). Just because DeviantArt beat Elfwood in the early brackets doesn't mean it won't falter the same as Elfwood (or Twitter) in the next round.

I'll keep the account to support artists and to post wherever I go next (and see if others leave, too).

Best to those who remain. Let others know it's time to leave if they haven't been on in a while or have forgotten their accounts. And leave word on where you all move to, please.

Is anyone still here, or have they all moved to Instagram?

I haven't been here in ages. Seems changes are going on.
