Ushering in the era of Ai trash.
This app used to be a beautiful community of amazing artists and staff, even the core team was involved in sharing their art. Then they started hosting ai competitions. Now it is no longer an honest or artist-minded platform, otherwise they would protect their artists from this talentless leeching atrocity against artists. Stable diffusion images aren’t art, they’re stolen amalgamations of the styles and artwork that millions of artists have done so far, used against their will to create text-to-image crap. It takes no skill to create except typing a word prompt. It’s the antithesis of art. And now they have people submitting ai photos in photography competitions. They sure do hard work curating and barring me from sharing my real art because of nudity, yet widely celebrate nudity on the app. I was even told my work couldn’t be posted because of frontal nudity several times when the photo of the year winner was a fully exposed frontal nude. The team continuously stands by decisions and opinions that are completely hypocritical. But they’re fine hosting text-to-image algorithmic nonsense and having it compete against real art. It’s over… have fun competing against robots.

Slow App and Website
I tried over 5 times to create a account, when I finally got in all of the changes I made to my account (links, social medias) weren’t able to update. I was left with a blank page that I couldn’t customize. I also noticed the ability to “boost” posts, I haven’t looked into it but this seems kinda like pay to win, which isn’t fair because not every artist has the same budget.

Artistically
Agora is a great platform that allows artists from around the globe, like myself, to showcase their skills and create a positive impact on society. I love the fact that I get to see unique artworks and connect with artists from different countries, which fuels my creative inspiration and expands my artistic horizons.

Could be much better
The new crop is horrid. Missing out on the full frames of so many beautiful works of art. Not a single one of my photos fits this crop as I intend for them to. Not to exclude any artists that may be videographers, but the videography aspect of the app has taken away from the photography side, which is what the app was originally based off. I feel this is really unfortunate. The app is a constant work in progress. There were several occasions where the app simply wouldn’t allow me to log in, or post. Two crucial things. I think more thought could be put into the entirety of the app. As far as the art and artists I love to see your work and creativity. Remember that originality and authenticity are what make a work your own.

Currently unusable
It asks me to read and accept the terms and conditions before allowing me to do anything. This would not be an issue if the app were capable of loading said terms, but it's not. I just get endless circles. Also, the "app support" link took me to another site completely.
