If posting adult content, it’s not really a good option unless maybe you’re doing well and get their cut. Once suspended, no questions, no appeals, communication is limited as is.

If writing content more mature, that has to hurt as whatever content is in it will have terms that get picked up. Imagine back when Pixiv had no restrictions and that gets picked up before you think to go back and edit.

It’s hard to know the worth of art sites anymore considering restrictions, gen AI scrapping and few more specific gripes. Going back to having your own web page seems the best option.
