This is fucking depressing. As I age my dreams of pencilling for Marvel, illustrating Osprey books, or even being comfortable living off art are kinda limited, which okay sure, but what was always most important here was making people happier with artwork, not jobs or money. So it sucks to lose one means to achieve that most important goal, showing people stuff, because someone wealthier than my relatives and ancestors all combined decided to remake a huge website into a far right dumpster fire.
