yes. r/art has a long history of not being a place for art but rather a place for gatekeeping art. famously an artist posted a book cover she’d done and got banned for allegedly posting AI generated content. she was able to show her file revision history to show she was who created the art, as weld as other art she’d done to show that was her style, and the r/art mods decided to keep her ban in place because her art style wasn’t to their liking
It’s supposed to be a place to showcase art, not a free place to advertise for your store.
The dude(ette) didn’t even post a link though from what I can see, so, the reaction is insane.
Print on demand is easy, so, I’d think any artist who’s showing off their work online should have a printer that they’ve run off a few test prints with already ready to go, in case people are interested enough to ask about purchases, but, I’m not trying to moderate a magazine/community and prevent it from being a giant advertisement, so, ::shrug::
What’s wrong with prints? Isn’t that just how most artists make money?
