Linkalr lemme explain-
So everyone remembers vine, right? it was popular and brung us some cool memes that everyone still laughs about today
but the reason vine ultimately failed is because no one would do Vine full time- they saw it as a mere stepping stone in their entertainment career. Reasonably so, 6 second shorts are limiting.
Why I say FA is the Vine of art sites is because we all know no one will stay here for their art career-
FA has limiting tools and functions compared to other art sites, like DA and Drawn. It's fun to be on, fulfills it's purpose- but no one says "I'm going to have FA be a part of my portfolio"
Ultimately, this is why I believe well known users are leaving, not just because the community is bull, but also because they know they could do so much better and grow on another platform. I wouldn't be surprised to see other well known users leave such as AK and ProMagma (of course I cannot speak on their behaves, i'm merely speculating).

LinkThis pattern can also be observed with some other users that left/aren't on hardly at all, such as HA-Entertainment and itsMartin
