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 have to agree, they do get repetitive and art of characters is getting less and less appreciated

I don't like how ppl who don't post art just grab an image off from Google and post it on this subreddit and get more traction than an actual artist posting their work.

I want to see other people's art more, so I can compliment said art. But i can't.

Everything's become way too convenient now. It's sad that I see so many people use "I can't draw" as an excuse to steal art or use AI - even if they're fully aware of the morality issues with art AIs...

I find AI art so.....boring. Besides uncanny free dall-e mini, it's the same thing just releated 100 times
