Today's Steven is... wait a minute, where is he?!

The truth is, he's not here. He couldn't bear to show his art on a platform where so many artists routinely have their work stolen, reposted without their consent, and discredited. He used to be really proud of the work he put out, but not getting the credit he rightfully deserves has put a real toll on his confidence and passion for art, to the point where he's found it hopeless and simply stopped producing content.

This is a story told by all too many artists of every kind. The visual artists, the writers, the musicians, the editors, the photographers, the performers—all of them have been hurt over and over again by reposting and stealing. Some of these artists depend solely on their craft to get by and put food on the table, and countless lives have been damaged and endangered by having their art be thrown about without getting the recognition and support they deserve.

So they disappear. And more and more of us disappear, and what was once a vibrant and beautiful community of artists doing the things they love and fulfilling the most human of desires, the desire to create, slowly fades to black.

In a time where we are relying on artists now more than ever to hold on to our humanity, it's time to remember that they are human too. It's time to treat them with the respect and importance they have always deserved.

It's time to give credit to the artists.
