I agree, AI artists are way more hated. Also, you are not hated just because you do not have as many followers as somebody else. Focus on the good followers you do have that are sticking around and watching your art improve daily :) Those are the ones you should look at. And besides, your worth more than you think to those of us that stick around :) So try and remember that. I know depression is hard, but you do have folks to lean on here that like ya.
Much love my friend you take care and hang in there and keep drawing and improving :)
