what they do not tell you about having an animal-based oc is that if you like the character enough, this will also make you slightly insane about the animal

What a beautiful world in which you could lie to and deceive a company's ceo and have secret budgets and be funneling money into a big elaborate prank on him and have it be no big thing.

Having icons on the dashboard increases community. I don't take the time to read every username, but with a quick glance, I know who posted something. It means I can associate what they posted with them. Otherwise it's just Stuff. (It's also fun to see the icons. It's a unique personalization that makes people happy, and their prominence makes tumblr unique.) It doesn't take up space. Why take that away?

it's honestly alarming that they're making this shift to depersonalize and disintegrate community.

part of me feels like this is the progression they want:

can't tell who posts -> don't care who posts -> no connection to who is on your dash -> FYP/algorithm

and it's horrible that they seem to be taking such a beloved website and sending it in these directions. probably overreacting but it's sad and frustrating to watch it go

anyway. it's a good reminder to reblog the posts you love, because that's how the website can keep functioning like it does

STUDY ABOUT BUYING ART IN THE AGE OF GENERATIVE AI

Hello! I'm conducting a survey as part of my master's thesis. The study aims to identify good business practices among visual artists in the age of generative artificial intelligence. Responses are anonymous and will be used for statistical analysis. I'll appreciate you taking your time to fill it out and maybe even share it with your friends. Big thank you in advance!

(if it opens in Polish, you can change the language in the top right corner)

(Learn more about a secondary study under the cut.)

Are you an artist, who's been earning money from their art since before 2022 (not necessarily as their primary income)? You can take part in an interview, to help me out further with my thesis! Just reach out to me via DMs. It would be conducted online via text message and would last approximately 20 minutes.
