People have been removed/kicked from contests/subreddits iirc, and that could also mean being graded unfairly, or judged unfairly in a number of ways that could impact them financially if others believe the accusations. I’m not going to make a call on which is worse, but I don’t think one is so obviously worse than the other.
Fair enough, though i gotta be honest “kicked from subreddits” sent me. We’re talking about people’s livilihoods here, not kicked from a social media community.
Sure but the original message essentially was “i think people(not specifically artists) have been removed from social media [over being accused of using ai”
It was a theoretical “iirc” and not a specific instance.
So in this theoretical instance of an artist being kicked from a community over being accused of using ai then surely the community leaders would be willing to watch a time lapse of them make art to confirm they are legitimate and remove the ban.
It would be inconvenient and annoying but it’s not likely to be the literal worst thing that comes from ai. Inb4 “what if the mods are unreasonable and don’t remove the ban!” Well, then the ai accusation is a red herring and that community would’ve already been under some pretty bad leadership and a ticking time bomb for any number of other reasons.
Gotta interact with your customer base somehow. For artists, it’d likely be the equivalent of getting banned off Ebay, Facebook marketplace, or Amazon.

Social media is how many artists gather a following that earns them a living.
Being kicked out of a large sub reddit can literally bankrupt artists. Depending on circumstances.
Social media IS the single most important avenue and marketplace for an indie artist to make a living.
It’s really really hard to over state how fucked over you can become just losing access to only a single large social.
