The Direct Messages Of Artwork SCAMS

2:40 yeah that's just wrong, commissions are requested by the client not the artist

When people wants art bad, they dont check on the feedback.

I get those people coming into my live stream on twitch. It’s annoying indeed. This same BS with follower and viewership bots on Twitch and KZbin. It’s annoying and just block button

5:50 besides friends would likely have known ya through discord and know just to join via the server anyways, and they could still just chat in the public if the dms were closed Reasonable folks who care are definitely gonna respect boundaries and end up being the ones worth welcoming with open arms ngl

1:20 btw as times pass you may want to be a little more closed off since folks do like to take advantage of content creators and I know that very well Being open is cool ofc just be somewhat careful and reserved since it can save ya in the long run In a respectful way ofc

I see posts in furry subreddits every once in a while asking "Is this a scam?" and it's often a random DM they got from a bot pretending to be an artists, it's pretty obvious to me that an actual artist even if they are desperate, would not be likely to take a random DM approach unless maybe it's DMing a person that is activly looking for an artist. The other type of scam I encounter posts about is people wondering if these pictures of a high quality full fursuit, with a ridiculously low price of like $350 dollars is a scam. I'm slightly impressed that they did think to ask, but also a bit dissapointed because if you have to ask if something is a scam, then yeah the chance of being hit by lightning is higher than it not being a scam.

Btw I've been quite busy irl so havent beem around much but I hope everything has been well irl Mines been alright for the most part This was a good upload btw, I've actually fallen for scams btw on both the customer and the commissioner side It sucks and these people need to be held accountable on the IP level (ik vpns are a thing but it would help a lot)
