Before this place goes under, I just want to express how incredible it's been to see the creative community come together time after time to celebrate themselves and uplift each other each #PortfolioDay. It's no secret that much of the noise on this site can be negative, but that never seemed to permeate #PortfolioDay. There is strength in kindness and power in creativity. Remember that 💛

We're told our art is worthless, to get a real job, that we will starve. But look how quickly they work to steal our labor for their profit.

We are fed this lie again and again because it's a lot easier to exploit us when we don't value ourselves. Clearly it is profitable to create and use AI. Even platforms purporting to support artists (that would have NO content for their platforms without us) are eager to throw artists under the bus for profit.
