    I have a Substack. I use A.I. gen for a cover image. It’s more to build branding than anything else. I’d use an artist, but I have to pay an artist, and sadly, I myself am broke. I have too much respect for artists to pay them in “exposure.” So AI gen it is. Now if you’d like to help me change that: Subscribe, please?

      This is the worst way to reach out you could have chosen, if I was subscribed to your substaco I would unsubscribe for this alone

      Have you tried drawing something yourself instead of using the shitty art theft environment killing machine?

      Asking for money right after that, too, shameless.

      there are so many free stock images out there, no need to involve the slop machine, it’s an instant turn-off as a reader
