guys

everybody

stop tagging ur posts with "#art" because bots target posts like this, along with others like "#oc art" and "#traditional art"

i've been posting on here for a bit now, and every single post that ive used "# art" in has gotten a bot comment

theres a likely chance that you will get a comment asking for commissions or an extremely vague generated comment about how they "like your drawing"

they're getting worse too, i recently got a comment from a profile with what i assumed to be a young artist's anime style oc as their profile picture, perhaps a new/learning artist- but i clicked on their blog and got a closer look. the banner was the same art style and, there were no posts, and it was clear to me that the pictures had been from a prompt for something that looked like a new artist drawing on paper with pencil and marker

and this has obviously worked more than once on someone who didn't realize it was aị, because why else would they keep doing it and getting more "creative" unless they're getting results??
