Medibang, Fix Yourself. Now.

I think I might know why some illustrations are deemed to be against medi's TOS when they aren't and those illustrations get taken down, along with the rare occasion an account is banned or "frozen" as I have heard it be called.

I think medi doesn't have people review the illustrations. I believe they use an AI. Not only that, because their filtering system is so bad the AI doesn't know when to take down artwork when not to. It commonly mistakes any drawing with some showing skin as explicit and takes it down. The AI is just as bad as their algorithm, level system, and rankings. Instead of using an AI only, have the AI flag the images for review of a real human being.

I also don't think there is a way to appeal your ban. Most services have a way to appeal your ban from their website/program, most likely through email. While to my knowledge medi does not. So you have to make a new account under a different email and start all over and pray somebody finds your account again through the garbage algorithm and knows it's you.

Not only that, medi does not have a proper protection system for your art. It can just be grabbed and traced, reposted, and/or stolen without proper protection. That is left up to you to find if somebody stole your art. DeviantArt has a protection system (yes it sucks but at least they have one) that notifies a user if their art might have been stolen. Toyhouse has a system that watermarks your work automatically so if your art is stolen it can obviously be recognized as stolen. Medi doesn't have anything like this, you're on your own. You and your fans are left to report the user that stole, traced, or reposted the work. The reports mostly don't do anything either because the AI doesn't care about them and medi’s workers never check flags or reports. This leaves you to hope the person sees what they did wrong and take down the art.

Medis algorithm is awful, it's worse than youtube's algorithm. With medi’s algorithm there is barely anything to go off of. They only request large artists, and they pick favorites. If you don't have a anime art style your basically fucked. The leveling up system isn't any better. You could have a drawing with 50 likes, 32 comments, and 48 favorites and still not get past level 3. There are also creator ranks and rookie ranks which place you on a ranking system with other artists. The rookie rank system is where it places you on a ranking system with any drawings you have made individually based off of how much interaction they get. The creator rank is 4 different ranks that can be earned. Bronze, silver, gold, and platinum, platinum being the highest and bronze being the lowest. Bronze is acquired by getting level 4, silver is acquired by getting level 5, you get the point. Platinum is the hardest one to get because only like 4 people get a level 7. The perks are getting no ads, and some other useless benefits. I think you see why its dumb. People have ad blockers you know?! The rank also expireds after a year so it's not even permanent and you have to work so hard again to get the rank back. There is one more rank and that's the daily trend ranking. These are basically rankings that update daily based on how much you're trending, but they only count art not topics even though that's still engagement. It's basically impossible to get high up on that unless you have an anime art style.

Lastly, its uploading system is god awful. If you look at DeviantArts and/or toyhouse’s uploading system you can see it has the required things. What gallery would you like to add this too? Do you want a specific watermark on this image? Does this have sensitive content, if so what is the sensitive content? You get the point. Medi has ONE option, and that is, Is this ok for all or is it mildly sexual, or full on R-18 work?! Nothing else, you can add tags or apply for a contest but that's it. Nothing to mark the images as sensitive content and put a spoiler, nope, just that.

In summary medi is most likely using a shitty AI to decide if they ban a person or not. Their levels, and rankings, and algorithms are incredibly broken, and they have no proper options for properly uploading artwork.

Thank you for reading, and if you didn't, I will be making a video so you can watch that when it comes out (if it does ;-;) if you wanna watch that instead. I understand, I like watching speedpaint commentaries, so I understant, plus reading is haaaaaard. ;-;

  • dang thanks for the essay I agree with literally everything you said though

  • I feel y'all :( I've been here for almost three years, even tho my account says that I've been here for less than TWO years, and do you know why? BECAUSE I GOT FROZEN TWO YEARS AGO >:(((( MEDI JUST F⋆CKING TOOK MY OLD ACCOUNT DOWN BECAUSE OF THE "OBSCENE" CONTENT THAT I MADE??? WHAT OBSCENE CONTENT????? I've been dealing with this stupid site from 2019,, And still it didn't chanGE ANYTHING– This makes me feel so upset ;-; The algorithm MUST be an AI I won't believe it if it's a person lmfao And yeah I still don't get why some people get level 7 so easily While Medi literally spits on other people's masterpieces just because they don't have an anime-like art style I've never gained more than level 3 in tHReE MF YEARS Y'HEAR ME–

  • Yeah I suspected they use and AI as well, back when I first got this second account because I was originally frozen, I posted a meet the artist thing and literally all it had in it was a light blue background and I used a darker blue for the sketch (it’s was practically a doodle). There was nothing in it whatsoever that should have been taken down but medi being medi, took it down.

  • If it's not too much trouble, could you draw Grimm? https://medibang.com/picture/e12206290814199460021172635/

  • > 🌿𝙰𝚖𝚋𝚎𝚛_𝙳𝚛𝚊𝚠𝚜🌿 Thank you!! ^^

  • > Saero_308 kjhsxcgfhgjklj OF COURSE YOUR OC IS SO GOOD, I HAVE TOOOOOOOOO

Oh Yeah!

I forgot to tell you guys the art for today will have to wait until after school.
TW: mentions of death, stabbings, shootings

Provided I survive school, because there was like a half lockdown yesterday and there was a stabbing at the other school further away from us. There was a threatened shooting. Some kid died at the other school and like 3 are in the hospital, one died in the hospital. Yeah not fun, my anxiety is through the roof right now and I'm feeling super nauseous because that's what happens when I get anxious. But yeah, hopefully see you later. I will try to make a post as soon as I can if I get back from school.

Read more

  • Oh no, this is terrible. I’m very sorry you are going through this. Why the fuck to school shootings happen…

  • Wow - I'm appalled that nothing as changed to keep students safe at school. I'm sorry you're going through this.

  • oof that's scary hope your ok

  • Oh wow. Hope everything alright and hopefully you feel better. ❤️

WOAH

I did not expect splatoon music to be this good. I have never had a chance to listen to the songs without inturuption of somebody's video or streams so I never got to listen to them. BUT from what I could hear of Anarchy Rainbow it sounded really good. It got on my yt recommended right now and it is a MASTERPIECE I tell you. So good, absolute banger.

Read more

  • yesss the Splatoon 3 music is so so good I love it so much. Deep Cut really makes the music so much better with the vocals and this is just the best "album" in all of splatoon

Holy Fuck

I get distracted so easily. It has to be something not normal at this point it happens so easily. I was working on homework, I fucking blinked and now I'm checking medi and making this post. 💀

Oh also my anxiety was so bad today I had a panic attack and it lasted really long and my anxiety lasted the rest of the school day and now my heart hurts because of it. 😌

But I am calming down now by listening to some stardew valley music. I defiantly recommend listening to some if your anxious. Songs like A Golden Star Is Born, all the Winter themes, all the Fall themes, the Load Game music, Calico Desert, and the library and museum theme are the best ones for me.

Ok that's all, sorry for the super long post lol.

  • dude my new math class has a job/role thing and mine is to keep the group on task but everyone else has like 572 iq and I'm the one who pays the least attention lmao

Wha-

Hold on no way this got 30 likes. I mean thank you I think this is the first time I have gotten this many likes but, REALLY GUYS ON THE FUCKING DOODLE I SPENT LESS THEN AN HOUR ON?!?!?! NOT LIKE MY ACTUAL ART I SPEND HOURS OF TIME AND EFFORT ON?????? Look I'm not totally mad, I'm mostly just disappointed.

  • > 🌿AɱႦҽɾ_Dɾαɯʂ🌿 This must be so frustrating for you.. And you have a good reason to be frustrated. Maybe your human drawing attracted artists who drew humans? But please keep working as you are Amber! It will pay off soon, I can see how much you're improving, I believe you'll get more known in the near future with your artstyle! But for now, try not to worry too much about the likes here, I used to get frustrated with how many likes I got, but it can be a bad mindset and hard to get out of..

  • > Muna Sketches Highly doubt that. Plus you have just missed my point entirely. I'm pissed off because it's on a doodle I spent no effort on and its a style test I'm not even that proud of. PLUS I'm making all my furry ocs into humans so its not that big if a "theme". Where my actual art I spend days on, is lucky to get 20 likes. Thats Simon drawing took a week to finish, and it didn't even get close to 30 likes.

  • Y'know, maybe it's a sign that there's more people starting to like your drawings! Maybe from now on there will be 30 likes each post? But I think people were just really interested in Human Amber and seeing what Amber would look as human, sometimes it's the sheer theme of the drawing that gets the attention.

Important Change

Ok so big change coming! Almost all of my furry ocs will be turned into human ocs. Except Amber, and Iris. You might have seen that already because I updated their toyhouse pages to have no avatar and moved all their images to a full tab and I changed the folder to say human ocs instead. I know not all of you will be happy with this, but I don't care because I'm happy with this. Especially since some of the designs are linked to some not so great events that happened with me. Also because whenever I draw furries I feel really unmotivated and bad about my art. So yeah that's about it!

  • > 🌿AɱႦҽɾ_Dɾαɯʂ🌿 Oh ok I'll try that Thank you!!

  • > SAMMY_DRAWS UwU Ok so Grimm took me a bit to beat but once you learn his attack patterns it becomes an incredibly easy fight. I would recommend hitting him when he bows to get some extra hits in and when he does that pufferfish attack you can either sit at the edge of the arena and dodge or tank his attacks and use spells to hit him. The when he does his other attack if he charges at you, shade cloak through it or jump over him and use your descending dark spell to hit him. That's what I can remember from when I fought him. I think I had shamans stone and grubsong with some other basic charms.

  • > 🌿AɱႦҽɾ_Dɾαɯʂ🌿 Thats good to know UwU [oh and how can I defeat grimm?? I defeated the Hollow knight but can't defeat grimm]

  • > SAMMY_DRAWS UwU I'm doing pretty good!
