@Ryle_bee Yayyy congratulations 🩵🩵❄️❄️

I’ve opened up Patreon and Discord!💕!!!!

@Aki_Hoshino_ Your artwork is beautiful and honestly one of my dream artists. If I wasnt currently saving money for vacation, I would definitely commission you. The economy sucks for so many people at the moment, it is definitely not you 🩵

I really love working on commissions and drawing people's wonderful characters, but I haven't received any new orders for a couple of weeks, even though I've mentioned many times that they are open. I always feel very anxious when I don't hear from anyone. Am I not good enough?

@MiqoteSenpai I would follow back as I love following kind people 🩵

How would you react if you saw this?

Had to fix my post

I absolutely love my commission by @ViviriaStudio. They did an amazing job and I cant wait to get another one 🩵❄️ #yuiice #kitsune

TLDR: Bit of a rant from me about the structural hypocrisy that is X algorithm. Recently X has been marking my works as sensitive media and I'm a bit frustrated to say the least. If you've been an artist on this platform for a while, you probably experienced this fatigue yourself, the seemingly omnipotent double standard where you work on an artwork for several days and post it on X only to find it's been marked as sensitive media and buried on the timeline, effectively killing the engagement. Either this or the invisible engagement throttle system which doesn't outwardly mark your posts as sensitive content but still affects your engagement nonetheless so the artwork you've been working on for days gets buried without reaching half your normal audience. Meanwhile the platform consistently push visibility on AI slop that takes a press of a button to generate, making it harder for artists to compete on the platform. Isn't it ironic that X claims to heavily promote original content and encourages users to post original content on X, yet what I see every time I open this app is AI content these days, the utter hypocrisy is sickening. Every day I see less art from art accounts I used to follow, my feed is more AI than actual artist which makes me wonder if I'm also being actively silenced by the algorithm. And speaking of the X algorithm, I don't understand why they have so much updates on the algorithm. It's probably had more frequent balancing patches and updates than Street Fighter 6 which is really saying something. As much as I'd like to say I don't care about it, unfortunately I do. Because it largely affects everything that matters to me be it engagement, people enjoying my art, and my personal enjoyment of seeing everyone enjoy what I create. Over the years I've tried my best to comply as much as I can to this platform's hypocritical algorithm, and to certain extent I like to think I'd found a good balance so my engagement is still decent and I have returning fans that enjoys my works. But the recent algorithm and the sensitive media flags (and the engagement throttle as a result) is not only killing my engagement but it's also affecting my morale for the foreseeable future. For those of you reading all this, you might brush it off as me having a crashout moment but personally it feels like the platform is outright denying my efforts as a creator, all the hours I put into the artwork buried in mere seconds under countless AI slop as numerous as the stars in the night sky. Not only that, sometimes it honestly feels like the algorithm has a double standard bias against certain creators be it AI slop or not. Initially I thought that the algorithm simply looks out for high concentration of skin tone pixels to detect whether a post requires sensitive media flag or not but when I look at certain creators out there, it seems like some of their riskier content bypass this invisible hands of fate altogether as if they're armed with a get out of jail free card. For example, when the AI slop creators post risky content that I would never dare post myself, not only are they rewarded with great exposure they never seem to get the same penalties I've been fighting for years. Rules are not applied uniformly across every user and there's no single yes or no trigger for sensitive media as it seems to come down to a probability score where if a post hits a certain threshold of probability of sensitive score, it gets labeled. The BS doesn't end there, as it looks like everyone has a different threshold required to trigger the flag and there is no way for any of us to monitor what this threshold is nor do we have a clear outline of what we should do or avoid. Yes, it's effectively BS how there's no public transparency, no trust score I can view and no real time notification on when my reach is being throttled or why it's being throttled. The only notifications I get are the notification from X telling me my post got a warning (nice gentle way of saying my post got Sensitive Media tag and engagement got killed immediately) because the algorithm thinks it's a sensitive content and if I think it's a mistake, I can appeal. But when I send in an Appeal it falls on deaf ears, assuming it even reaches an actual human employee at X. I must have sent in countless appeals whenever I get such notices but I never hear back, my posts remain invisible/marked sensitive content and I'm left wondering if the next F5 will show me the correspondence from X. Reading through my own rant, I can totally see some people might be thinking how ungrateful I am or that they would love to be in my shoes instead or that I'm petty for even ranting about this, but when the platform's own tools are effectively working against what I do, it just leaves me with a feeling of helplessness. I mean really, what else can you do other than say suck it up and continue drawing? Hoping the next post of my artwork won't face the same penalties? Can you imagine my creative thought process? Instead of simply thinking, oh hey I wonder what fun art I should make today, I'm often thinking I wonder what I can make today that will be fun but also appease the RNG algorithm so my hours of hard work isn't wasted. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't affected because it affects my motivation and creativity, sitting behind the canvas worrying what would less likely go get me silenced when I have no idea what my threshold is. Given the headache and BS I need to deal with on this platform, I'm still going to push on and continue drawing what I find fun, I just can't see myself quitting art but I still felt the need to vent out my frustrations that I'd harbored privately for years. For anyone who read the whole thing, thank you. Though, given the recent algorithm behavior I have a feeling not many people will even see this on their timeline, which is ironic. If anyone can offer genuine advice on my current problems and predicament, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could share some advice.

@harumenderu Just got one ❄️

HELP RT 🙏 URGENT COMMISSION ‼️ Hi, i'm sorry for opening another urgent commission but currently my situation hasn't get any better 🙏 so i'm offering chibi comms to pay my debt and bills for local and international 🙏 i'll attached my Vgen link below. Thank you so much 🙏

Artist - we’re required to give you credit when we pay you to do art for us - rightfully so. Maybe you could tag us when you are posting up the art you did for us as well so that anyone who likes our design can find us? A quid pro quo if you will? I think that’s a fair ask, no?

Congratulations to my Oshi 🌸 Im so happy for them, I think I've gotten every drop they've done with gamersupps. Can't wait to see what the future holds.

@Ryle_bee I hope everything is okay 🙏🩵

I’ve decided to push back my comeback by just one week due to personal reasons. Thanks for being patient🥰 🥲

Y'all are VULTURES cuz oh my poor client just felt the need to ask if they're allowed to print their cms and show it off in their discord server 😭 some of you are charging people to do that??? Shame on y'all.

@_Karousel_ I love this, would so get this as a ych 🔥
