Ya'll I'm so serious when I say this, and I'm gonna say this with my ENTIRE ass. Stop. Doing. This. Shit. It makes you an annoying pest. You are damaging your business and making people not wanna interact with you. For the love of god STOP. #artmoots

"I don't like you." That's okay pookie I don't like me either, wanna be friends?

@ladyves_ Yeah unfortunately a lot of dms get missed, ignored or sorted into spam because its such a massive issue 😔

@OceanCorgi wait is this actually a big issue.. ive dmed some people before but they had their dms open for artists to reach out (like those toyhouse art collectors), is it actually bad to reach out to ppl in dms 😭

MinX's guide to distinguish bots. Step 1: Ask them to take picture with spoon on their head whilst patting their tummy. Step 2: Ask them for free art. Step 3: Watch the magic happen in real time as they vanish from your dm's faster than your father did from your life!

@Slushii_Vt "YOU NEED ME" I need you to walk your clown ass right on into the job center okay? 🤣

@OceanCorgi my favorite is the audacity they have to tell me i need their art when i tell them im an artist and thenm they bombard me with ai bullshit like no

@Zoo33f @RestlessPandass Dude is gonna be waiting a looong time for that commission 🤣

@OceanCorgi @RestlessPandass “I can wait for you to get a job” please don’t “You’ll get one next week right?” No I won’t I have $4 to my name and no job yet please.

@Worst_Hero_Ever @DeadDetectiveVT I am shocked that's even a word. I cackled.

@DeadDetectiveVT @OceanCorgi I've been sitting here trying to figure out what the hell "lowkirkenuenly" is supposed to mean

@SolWriterz Hey at least it helps you weed out the foul lil do-no-gooders!

@OceanCorgi This is why I hate asking about looking for commissions cause I get FLOODED with bot / automatic replies and it’s so annoying 😭😭

@ChickenNugg1t Lol it's on the same level as 'Can you draw my dog/cat/child?'

@OceanCorgi I left a reply but im so dyslexic that I read this whole convo as an artist being mean to someone trying to comission them, idk if this is dyslexia or a different mental issue, i-💀🤚

@callouscohl Sure I dm'd

@IIV_Jack_Six Clearly isn't ridiculous if many people are having the exact same experience, love. Idk if you've got working eyes but I'm not gonna sit here and argue with ya pookie. Have a great day.

@OceanCorgi You're the one saying ridiculous shit that everyone seems to understand but you. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@IIV_Jack_Six Me: Joined 2014. You: Joined 2024. "New to twitter" ?

@OceanCorgi I guess you're new to Twitter… But… Those aren't real people, and those things aren't reading this post.

@callouscohl My brother in christ scams have literally been around for forever. Heard the term snake oil I'm sure. Just because it became a mainstream tactic does not make them all automatically bots. I've seen the profile content spans for months/years in some. Spotty at times. But human.

@callouscohl "Making yourself look silly" well that's funny considering SOME the people I experienced were very real people. Almost as if not every single person is a bot. Please jog on treating me like a complete imbecile 🙏 Have a great day.

@inertiachy Because in the wonderful words of Madea...

@OceanCorgi i remember saying no to one of these guys and got a "why not?" in response 😭😭😭

@sharnasaurus Maybe what you've encountered but considering the ones I've literally taken time to check, have posts spanning months and even years back, that look legitimate, I'm not convinced. Not to mention, unless I'm not in said loop, vgen is strict on the whole bot thing.

@OceanCorgi Because it takes an AI algorithm all of perhaps a few seconds to mock up, create and implement a social media account, regardless of the platform.

@sharnasaurus Genuine question how a bot has a whole vgen, and links to their socials. Because believe it or not that's what I've been encountering *in addition* to the typical bot shit I do obviously ignore.

@OceanCorgi They're bots. Stop responding to them as it's only feeding the algorithm that they run on. Just block and move on.

@OceanCorgi From personal experience the only "Artists" That go into dm to tell people they should commission them are scammers.

@DeadDetectiveVT Hey look I don't agree with their shit but there is always the (slim) possibility of people changing for the better. I'm not really about starting witch hunts or public name drops unless its some heinous shit. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@OceanCorgi But then you dont name drop them to actually make these people understand the consequences if their actions so i lowkirkenuenly blow my shi straight off in front of you

@OceanCorgi THESE. ARE. ALWAYS. SCAMS. Please stop falling for them

@buppybuppy_ I'd have sent them the number for a therapist. Oh you're damaged? Me too pookie, I've got a great solution!

@OceanCorgi i had someone send me IMAGE BY IMAGE their entire portfolio. then when i didn't respond thet tried to guilt me by saying i "irreparably damaged [their] self esteem" by not responding???? to and unasked for message??
