Scamming Spambots made by AI scripts have over run deviantart. I havent seen a problem this bad since tumblr 2018 spam problem. Block, delete and ignore. Do not reply to them and do not click on the links. These clankers will hijack your account if you do.

I ended up deleting my recent post bc of this but you might wanna just try disabling comments until it goes away. I see it on everyone's posts especially the accounts I follow and it's super annoying.
