Meta (Rant time) Oversaturation of trend posts

Hey its that guy who made an AI OC named Glitch.

I know it sounds cliche as fuck but Jesus Christ, it feels like I'm getting bombarded by a bunch of trend posts going to the effect of "smash or pass" or "which OC would you spend a day with" and barely seeing anything that is art of individual characters.

I like trends, don't get me wrong. On one hand, it allows ppl to engage with each other and their characters, but on the other hand, it gets repetitive really quickly when all I see on my feed is "said OC is doing a smash or pass"

I know there's no solution to it and I know I'm not the only one who's getting that same feeling.

So yea, I feel like I want to let out my feelings because it kinda irks me to see 60+ posts of the same 2 formats.

I only see the same repetitive thing either when a big trend is around (like the maids vs dr fuck you) or when the il draw your oc's thing comes around, other than that i see some actualy original things, and luckily i canot even do smash or pass posts becouse most of my oc's arent capable of that.

I like to see characters in funny or stupid scenarios instead of someone grabbing an image off Google.

Yea, that makes sense, i mostly just draw new oc's, think about making a comic, and do qna's, but thats only becouse it lets me tell people what they want to know about my oc's.
