    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.

      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.
