There are some awesome creators on here who have been great for the community, they regularly engage with users, post great original content, and I think it’s fair that they want to sell their services and support themselves. I’m not opposed at all to links in their bios.
The last week or so has had a deluge of low quality posters and frankly it does not spark joy to browse my feed. I don’t even trust that these posters are who they say they are – the titles and bios are basically all the exact same format with the same emojis in the same places, and sentence the structure that’s filled in with a basic form/script, and their post titles feel optimized to shit and lifted from other platforms.
I think additional verification for promoted content is required.
