As long as the uploads keep coming, and there's engagement on the platform they're getting exactly what they want, and it's all data to them anyway.

They DO want to break us tho, but not in a way many are assuming. It's simply much easier to steal from the meek, hopeless and compliant.

And by providing them with data and free entertainment while they continuously spit in our face, we're showing them it's working. Boycott is the only way to actually, meaningfully fight back.

I'm not judging any one individual for staying, or being unwilling to risk a boycott. I get it.

But these are the cards we were dealt.

And there’s a world’s difference between having a harmful feature advertised to users front and center, removing any and all friction vs asking them to commit time and energy to doing the bad thing.

Yes, AI scrapers are everywhere, but not like that. For now.

Because what happens once other platforms take note of the fact adding this feature INCREASED engagement, instead of lowering it?

It's bad, it sucks, I wish we could all figure out together how to best deal with this.

And if you're a fellow artist, trying to discourage others from even trying Bluesky out, what are you doing man??? This goes for both X and Bluesky users.

These will all be done on the week before Christmas in order to give me time to finish up my current queue, and done by December 22nd at the latest. (cont)

Every purchase includes the blender file, and .fbx file, and several image and video files, and you're more than welcome to use it on your stream or anywhere else you like!
I can do human or animal characters for this! (cont)

The ornament model will be re-used, but the textures are custom for each character!

and the other things for the same guy
