hey just for my fellow artists out there:
i noticed lately that tumblr's been getting similar scam bots to instagram, which i've like...never noticed before in all my years of posting. which sucks because i mean, one, they're annoying (you can at least farm some types of them on instagram for engagement, here they're just annoying) and two, because people who only post here aren't familiar with them, people are going to get scammed which sucks
so just a quick psa: if you post some art with tags that lead back to like typical art buzzwords (anything mentioning art, for example), you might get a pretty immediate notification that someone's replied or sent you an ask. usually they say they want a commission and to continue the conversation elsewhere (messages, for example). they don't want a commission, they want to scam you via paypal or something like that.
stay alert, don't get scammed
