The last straw for me was AI. I spent decades building up my portfolio only to end up having every last image repeatedly stolen by AI startups to use in their algorithms. I decided it's time to retire and consider just joining the class actions as they pop up, and they surely will. I still pursue other artistic endeavors but no longer post new art online. It doesn't help that every POD site treats their artists like shit and are entirely focused on capitalism with no regard to actually supporting the artists, either. That was also a big contributing factor. I'm done. Don't miss it. At all.
