I decided to remove all my art from this account for several reasons. One, hearing from a friend that DA now includes AI tools for swiping off of artists' work was all the motivation I needed, as I despise the current-day idea of art-swipes being "just as acceptable" as the originals that are being swiped from. Two, my experience throughout the years was so often disappointing that removing what art I actually left on here did not feel like a choice at all. Real rebels are the ones who risk hardship and disapproval, and my hat's off to them; I'm just leaving because there's nothing for me here.
