And poof… gone

No, not about me - who has been a little bit more active in adding to my Favorites folder. I was looking through said folder for art I remember adding awhile back, went further back into the folder just to confirm but yup… art appears to have been taken down.
So I can’t just let that be, spent a good bit of time then scanning through all the artists I watch (well, skipping over the ones I’m sure that art didn’t come from)… btw, quite a lot of artists I follow seem to have either disabled access to their accounts or removed everything :/
Long story short, could not find the artist either so I’m guessing they took down everything. Y’know, I don’t know if it would be better for my mental state but I kinda miss when your favorites included the “art not available” box when something you favorited was deleted. At least then you’re not gaslighting yourself that it may never have existed, you can at least imagine something you vaguely remember was one of those boxes.
Also FA should add an icon for people who disable their accounts. They’ve got icons for people who have been banned, passed away, or… I’m not even sure what some of these icon’s mean anymore.
Felt depressing, thought I’d at least mention that here since I kinda want to remember that time marches on and things can change drastically from what we remember.

I see a lot of folks keep up art for a limited time, maybe to save space?

OP
Is there a limit on here? It’s possible… though I do know that’s not the case for some people I’ve seen take down art. I can’t explain why, only that sometimes something I’ll favorite just disappears - I’ve asked a couple of them what happened but never got a response. People just have reasons and I respect that… but I’m also sad to see something I like apparently vanish forever, especially if I didn’t save a copy :/
