While it's cool to see that after all these years I'm getting close to reaching 100k pageviews, this place is going down to the tube due to the AI slop flooding the place. DA has always had its issues one way or another, but the push for AI generated images is embarrassing and shows how little they truly care about artists with its promotion. It's not something that personally affects me, I don't make original art and what I make is physical, bead art is a hobby for me, I just don't like feeling as if I'm supporting this place by hanging around. I'm not 100% sure about deactivation yet, I may or may not stop posting, but I'll link to where else I'm active at. www.instagram.com/kamapixel - This is probably my most activate posting place out side of here, all my new stuff and videos show up there. https://bsky.app/profile/kamapixel.bsky.social - BlueSky is new so it doesn't have as many folks, but it's already kind of a nicer place. Don't post as often there, more in bulk every so
