report and block. i'd also appreciate it if you shared this post, bc that blog was JUST created and was already tagging a LOT of people, and i know not everyone has the scam-sensing instinct, even if this might seem obvious to some.

"Youtube is applying post-processing to all shorts so they look more like AI. this is intentional & malicious. when their generative AI shorts feature launches users will be less likely to discern what's AI-slop and what's not, and the audience will think AI video is just as good"

Please be aware.

If everything starts to look a little off and a little fake, it's much easier for bad actors to not only push through actual disinformation, but also attempt to discredit factual video sources.

To all my fans thank you so much for not falling for the scam. I tried to stay on top of it.

I have also realized that the scammer had already captured one of my oldest followers account so that is why I fell for it.

"Jarrell Perry" - still using that name huh? Should have changed it buddy. Trust me when I say I've already reported you to the online scammers website, My banks, and local law enforcement.

As should anyone who has fallen for the scam.

That being said everyone of my fans knows I don't randomly message people.

And if we do talk it's strictly about requests.

Don't allow your account to be taken hostage!

If you do somehow manage to access your old pages again just save what you can and delete. It's tragic but your safest bet to prevent the scammer from accessing your stuff again.

Someone is going around spamming my clients and people who have gotten art from me. Using AI slop to try and snipe commissions as well as sending explicit material.
