It's not because of anything bad. Well kinda. I just wanna keep focused on the next chapter(s) of cursed scales, and avoid getting distracted. Expect me not to reply this weekend unless a chapter or two come out. Anyways, there has been way to many issues. Sketchy projects, the AI stuff, its just BLEH.
Informational News Report On Current Situations: AI Policy Concerns (2026 TOS)The recent 2026 Terms of Service update has sparked significant debate within the community. Many creators are concerned about the platform's right to use user-generated projects—including art and code—for AI model training. This has led to a widespread discussion regarding intellectual property rights and the future of creative ownership on the site. Paid Memberships and Community Equity. Since the introduction of paid membership tiers in late 2025, there has been ongoing friction regarding the site’s core value of equality. Critics argue that exclusive cosmetic features and sprite packs create a visual hierarchy. Furthermore, many users are worried that future AI-integrated features may be restricted to those who pay, potentially widening the gap between creators. Moderation Systems and Automation. There is growing frustration regarding the efficiency of current moderation. Many users feel that the heavy reliance on automated bots has resulted in slower response times and a failure to adequately address inappropriate content. This has led to a community-wide request for more transparent, human-led moderation practices. The "Generic" Content Movement. A movement led by several prominent creators is currently challenging the "Trending" algorithm. The goal is to address the perceived favoritism toward simplistic, "generic" games over original, high-effort projects. This initiative encourages the community to support diverse content to ensure that unique work receives proper visibility. Community Sentiment and Declining Activity. Due to these combined factors, including the restriction of "remix chains," a segment of the user base is actively discussing a platform boycott. I have decided to distance myself from these social conflicts to protect my creative energy. I will remain on the site to develop my comic but will not be engaging in comments or site-wide activities.
