Guys what is your opinion on Instagram Accounts that repost other people's art? I honestly hate them. It's not fair for artists and what is more they tell you to pay them to get promoted...Apr 12, 2021

I don't know why they do it or why they think it's a good idea.
It’s not that I hate them but I don’t like them either... normally the don’t credit the artist. And if they credit is what you say, what for? The original post won’t get the attention it deserves...
I think it can give the artist a few followers, but I usually don’t like it. I especially hate when they put the artist’s name at the bottom of the description...
Generally I’m not a fan, though I guess as long as they get permission there’s nothing inherently wrong with it? I don’t really see the point, though.
