Avoid like the plague unless you are rolf harriss and if thats the case you are sick.

Trash pit cesspool for people who… Trash pit cesspool for people who glorify blatant mass-scale plagiarism and hate artists. They're not on artists' side, they're incredibly greedy. If they wanted more activity on their site, they should've spent money on making it not janky and broken for once, instead of making a glorified plagiarism algorithm while stabbing the backs of their countless users.

Official company stance is to support Israeli Zionist apartheid Recently launched a frontpage art collection taking a firm stance in support of Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This is a highly nuanced issue, where Israel hold all of the cards and Palestine is left with only bad choices, or extinction. I refuse to partake in support of this site.

horrid company overall. They support Israel and the genocide of innocent Palestinians. They also gladly give a platform to AI "art" thiefs. The site just overall lost all originality and personality it had in the 2010's, where you could personalize your own page as an attempt to oversimplify everything and look like ArtStation. You suck.

Clogged up with AI rubbish Clogged up with AI rubbish, promotes selling such things for money. It has lost the fun charm it had when I was younger. The stash is useful and community events can be fun for prompts but that's about it.
