I'm married, I haven't been #dating in over two decades

Just trying to imagine being a young person in this #socialMedia #scam-addled world feels like it has to be the most dreary hellscape for finding #romance

So when I read this headline, I have multiple levels of "oh hell no" going on in my head

@scottgal She made some money. She also destroyed a wonderful piece of art, generated heaps of work that may not even be feasible to restore the art work.

She is an obscure, one-hit meme maker, with an even more obscure online shop, to cash in on her shitjob.

Nobody knows her name. You'd have to search HARD.

And the search would need to include the original work title/artist.

It's the PERFECT analogue, what the hell are you talking about, man =D

ENCOURAGE IT & RAISE THE PRICES FOR THE CRIMINALS - OF COURSE!

⚠️ Heads up - there's a #Mastodon #scam bot doing the rounds. Mastodon does not "temporarily restrict your visibility" - that is simply not a thing here.

If you see a DM or post to that effect begging you to click a link to restore anything, do not click it - report it instead.
