well, it is how it works. Shadowban for nsfw makes you invisible to anyone outside of your followers. Starting new as nsfw or just posting it frequently on, mostly, sfw account is basically shooting yourself into both feet. Thats why now its really important to avoid posting too much nsfw flagged stuff, if you want to grow
Seen someone talk about artists showing "layer setup", because AI can't do that...
So here is mine for my latest art... Can't even put it all in one screenshot lol
@Akiyusa34 Well, classic engagement bait. I think I've seen only like, 2 or 3 artists actually doing this thing and actually draw peoples ocs after. Almost every other time its just for engagement bait
Well, it's been like this since ever. There should be something more to make people interested into your ocs and worldbuilding, and overall people prefer looking at something popular and what they know everywhere, not just art... or of course you can just draw nsfw stuff like some do and gamble this way

@erykistired It only gets annoying and sad when the art they attached is the only art they did year or two ago, and now their entire account is just posts like this
People who "oh yeah i did nsfw only and got big account" miss out that it was possible with old algo and moderation on this type of content. Now your nsfw posts get almost instantly flagged as nsfw (which basically removes them from algo, and at best you gonna get 1/10 of what you usually get) and if you do it for long enough you get your account shadowbanned (there are massive artists with 100k followers who got hit by this and now their art gets much much lower numbers) there more than enough of this small artists now who draw nsfw art, and their accounts basically dead and impossible to recover due to this shadowban
