Flores Amarillas Watercolor and colors on 300g paper 30.5 x 22.9 cm Sep 2026
A watercolor illustration of an anthropomorphic fox standing upright and holding a large bouquet of yellow flowers against a warm, textured beige background. The fox has orange and cream fur, a long flowing tail, and a calm, slightly shy expression. Their body is mostly unclothed, with the bouquet held across the torso and lower body. Several yellow flowers and loose stems fall around their feet, adding a sense of movement and tenderness. The soft green and golden palette, delicate watercolor textures, and natural imperfections of the paper create a gentle, intimate atmosphere

I don't know who I am #furry #furryart
A cat guy stands at a sink, looking at his reflection. He reaches out, grasping himself, trying to figure out who he's looking at. His reflection is reluctant, barely responding to the touch. He doesn't really look the same

why does google suck now

Google search feels worse today because its core experience has been traded for ad revenue, clutter, and automated summaries. Several systemic changes have contributed to this decline: 

YouTube
·Alex Falcone
 +2
Ad Clutter and Sponsoring: Top results are heavily dominated by pay-per-click ads and sponsored content, forcing authentic organic results further down the page.
AI Overviews: AI summaries frequently occupy the most prominent space above the search results, which can sometimes scrape and surface incorrect information instead of directing you to the original source.
SEO Gaming: A constant arms race between Google and websites optimizing for search engines means that many results are filled with affiliate links and keywords, rather than genuine, high-quality human content.
Reduced Discoverability: Google has heavily deprioritized exact-match boolean searches (like putting phrases in quotes) and natural language queries, meaning it hides the niche human-written content you are actually looking for. 

seo2.onreact.com
 +5
If you are frustrated with the current state of search, you can bypass the clutter by modifying your habits or trying alternative platforms:
Add "Reddit" to Queries: Many users rely on finding actual human discussions by appending site:reddit.com or just "reddit" to their search.
Try Privacy-Focused Engines: Alternatives like DuckDuckGo filter out the heavily bloated tracking and aggressive sponsored widgets.
Consider Paid Search Alternatives: Platforms like Kagi offer ad-free, premium search experiences designed to surface high-quality human content rather than SEO-farmed websites.

this is actually a good reminder that you should delete the tracking nonsense off of any url that you share online. just delete everything after the ? (including the question mark) and share like you usually would
a screenshot of a youtube url showing the actual url as everything before the ? and everything after as “tracking nonsense”

a mixed media thingy. a red crochet heart is entangled to a cardboard backing behind a white crochet square with rib-like chains across it, also weaved into the cardboard. the whole thing is then embraced by some sort of animal, eyes closed, made of brown paper.

For info! Beware of scams for commissions. - If you get a ref link that ends in .vbs or .exe it's a scam. Never open odd file types - Never accept a payment over what you ask for unless it's sent in a non refundable way (like a tip jar). - Never send a final file before it's paid in full.

it's going to be okay but it's going to be different
An anthro lizard-kobold is sitting on a foldable chair that is submerged halfway into an unending pool of water. The text caption on the left says "it's going to be okay", and the caption on the right continues "but it's going to be different". There is also a mostly-empty cup of boba on the arm of the chair, slightly submerged.

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.
