@applecider_jack You can’t tell anything from that.

I would need to see the account to be able to tell you

[DavidDocument @DDocument7455]

@TsukiShironagii @Eve_Evenxia Why is another broker here 😭

[DavidDocument @DDocument7455]

@Eve_Evenxia To an extent many are encouraged to use AI / trace AI to complete commissions many have been called out before for AI use / tracing other artists work etc.

The artists will also never receive credit sadly too 😭

Yes raffles are their main form of advertising. Dming people after they lost to give them discounts some people even had to pay after winning giveaways. Thankfully they are off vgen now but nothing their raffles won’t end

[🎨Sifyro🎨 @sifyro]

Vgen as a concept was an amazing idea, sadly they are failing to apply it and keep ignoring the issue with Broker accounts expliting young artists, forcing minors to work in nsfw, and filling the frontpage with AI slop.
@_VGen_ do better, ban Broker accounts and use that sweet fee money you get from every artist to expand your staff

Update regarding community safety on VGen

UNETHICAL BROKERS:
Happy to say we’ve identified many previously unconfirmed JRUhub brokers, affiliates, and other unethical group accounts and they have all been banned for misrepresenting the nature of their profiles and services, intentionally inviting bad actors, and ban evading.

Big thank you to everyone in our community who has helped to investigate, report on-site, and provide detailed proof that our team were then able to review and take action on. Thank you for helping us keep the community safe!

REMAINING BROKERS:
In the short term, broker discovery has been rebalanced, their withheld funds processed through VGen Payments may not be released until after a commission is complete, and all brokers will continue to not have any invite codes. If any broker accounts mistype themselves as an individual or studio, they will now be suspended for at least 1 month immediately upon discovery.

We are still evaluating whether additional long-term actions are required.

Please do not assume all brokers are bad. However, if you do see suspicious behaviour, please continue to report them on-site and we will investigate.

ARTIST INVITE CODES:
There is now a hard limit of 2 unused artist invite codes per Verified Artist at any given time. If you earn more through a challenge or special event drop and you already have 2 in your dashboard, you won’t receive any more.

ARTIST CODE GIVEAWAYS:
Effective Nov 1, 2026, general contests, raffles, or applications are no longer allowed, even if recipients are screened. This is due to the increasing sophistication of groups who fraudulently misrepresent themselves as individuals.

If you see someone hosting a raffle or are in violation of our Artist Code Policy in any way, please report them on-site with a screenshot or link to their violating post and we’ll investigate. Their first offence will result in a warning before more severe administrative actions may be taken for repeated offences, including losing verification status and suspensions.

[Ethical Artist Hub @EthicalArtHub]

A note to clients finding out this week that they purchased work from an undisclosed Broker / a #jruhub affiliated account.

Most of us were completely unaware of what jruhub is. This is the exact reason EAH was created, to compile information in one location, that would hopefully help explain things and bring awareness .

When people are talking about "being scammed" they are not talking about you the client being scammed. The artists who work on your commissions are the ones getting scammed.

Many passed employees have tried to speak out about jruhub and their affiliated studios, and have been silenced. Social media accounts hacked and banned. Threaten and doxxed by their employer. Some are afraid to speak out publicly at all due to retaliation and being in close proximity to the studios.

They hire children and have them take client commissions for no pay (art education is considered their pay, and no you the client arent made aware a student is making your commission). They also have these children (as young as 14) working on NSFW commissions. They have a hiring age cap & a lot of their hiring ads prefer you be single (Why your marital status matters is wild on its own).

I beg that you please take a couple minutes out of your day and look into jruhub before deciding to continue to support the studios affiliated with them.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
Quick info in comments.
