We have a flagging system that interweaves the community & moderation team, so not only is it closer-knit, but we get cool shiny whistle upgrades whenever we report AI slop!

Trust me, it's not just a "you thing", everyone will agree with me when I say this is the best site for independent artists to host their content :)

You can stay calm - we, the community (concretly, people who takes the time to flag stuff), the Moderation Team and the Staff Team got your (and also the rest of artists) back covered in that aspect.

We flag out of spite every submission that may be breaking the Content Submission Guidelines, one way or another (that includes AI-generated works of any type), and Moderation/Staff takes them down as soon as they read the reports (if they're correctly reported, of course).

Also, I have to agree with what @Osaka said here - Newgrounds is the best place for artists to get sown, grow and blossom as recognized figures (just like flowers).

While I appreciate your love for NG, having your stuff in multiple places is a safer bet if you want it to be seen.

'Cara' is another place with a strict "No AI - or else..."-policy, but I am not familiar enough with their site/app to recommend it:

@TVisDaddy There's your problem: You cannot think of dA or YT and such as "websites for artist". They do not see users as people. They are just number generators. And one of those numbers is money.

That's why it's so embarrassingly easy to essentially steal an artist's identity by re-uploading all of their work on dA: Numbers are numbers. dA doesn't care about right and wrong. You just need to make enough sock-puppet accounts...

I realize this sounds exaggerated, but it's literally what happened to glee-chan. ( https://glee-chan.newgrounds.com/ )
She also uses Pixiv, so Pixiv seems like another good choice, but I cannot tell you _anything_ about that website because they block my VPN-solution. (Don't get me wrong: All the power to them. If you had enough abuse from one VPN-network you are under NO obligation to humor their user base....)
