They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.
here's some instructions for anyone who doesn't know how to opt out:
- login in on desktop, it's not available on mobile yet
- click "Account"
- click on your blog
- go to "Blog Settings"
- go to "Visibility"
- Scroll down to the bottom option
- turn the toggle ON, not off
you will have to do this individually for each sideblog you have too, no way to do it for each account in one go
im p!ssed
contemplating deleting all my art off this site now like I did my twitter. This sucks since this is the biggest fallowing I've ever had and I've poured my self into for the past 11 years.
this is one of the reasons I'm gonna be uploading art under a diff name and blog +sites
if I ever do again this shit makes me not want to make stuff anymore online tbh + school online course near deadline im trying to graduate uni its my last class + burn out. sucks cause I was thinking of doing commissions when I get done my class shit.
does anyone know any platforms that DOSEN"T support or partner with AI or NFT bs?
