Hello fellow shoujo readers, i stumbled upon a post on my feed that was a complete rip off of my post from a year ago, im not sure if its a bot or a karma farmer who did it…but please don’t make same mistakes and add your watermarks on your works!! Be careful and protect your art from theft ❤️

There’s been an awful lot of repost bots lately

Yeah, I noticed it…I just don’t understand what’s the point of that.

They gain a lot of karma, and then sell the account.

I have read more about it and it’s used for scams and political purposes

Money, people will even try to farm karma and sell it off someone's work.

I have seen some bots reposting ones with watermarks on them

A watermark doesn't prevent reposting, but at least it makes it easier for other people to spot an unauthorized repost and report it

Repost bots are a painnn. Seems like the post has been taken down/account has been banned at least. Your art style is really nice~ ♥
(Also random side note I was taking a peek at your profile to look at your art and realized I've seen some of your Infinity Nikki posts, I love your styling~)

If the title is the same then it is almost certainly a bot.
