#enshittification of the internet continues.
Anticipating the "imposed scarcity and vaultification" of art resources, several sites I've used in the past are going to EXTRAORDINARY lengths to make one an obligate source of recurrent $.

They havent yet gatekeeped the DL options behind an additional fee.
