I'm thinking of leaving Deviantart

Michael's Furaffinity JournalHooray! An update! Hey guys, you read the title correctly. As far as I have noticed, this site is slowly, but shortly giving me some "dislike" value. It's because of it being nowadays a farm having most of the AI generated stuff. Not that I don't like them, but there are many people, who call themselves "AI Artists", who sell AI generated pictures. And the fact that some people are lazy to make their own works and instead give into some image generating program or even Deviantart's DreamUp function that lets you generate AI images with a prompt.
Full disclosure: I don't hate AI Generated Images, I dislike them, but I use AI Generated images either for fun or as references for example for poses or some other stuff, but never to sell. Imagine if a person uses an image generator to generate an image, that said image has flaws in it, like zany face, additional limb or something like that, and people buy it? Boggles the mind.
Nothing personal against some people, who do share AI generated images for fun, but I don't think AI is my cup of coffee.
As a "soon-to-be artist", I always believed that hard work and practice would make you the best you can be. Sure it wouldn't be perfect, but the final result of an image would be satisfying to see. When people put heart into their own work, the art becomes more appreciated by time and will always be as some call it "The Real McCoy".
Again, soon leaving Deviantart, because this place is trash. Can you guys propose me some alternatives for Deviantart? I already am at Furaffinity, but here I post some spicy stuff as well. But I want a place, where I can post solely SFW and mid-spicy stuff. I want my artistic portfolio to be noticed when it comes to safe art. Please, give me some propositions of sites in comments below this journal post.

FA+

Thankfully, Furaffinity doesn't allow these types of images, but sadly, Deviantart is already flooded with them. That's why I left that site and made my own that looks a bit like classic Deviantart before the AI flooding thing.
