Hello!
This is the true story about how the "decentralized" platform opensea censored my art.
I will try to keep this as short as possible, I am a graffiti artist from central/eastern europe and has never been active in the NFT scene. However ever since I heard about insider trading taking place at opensea I made both IRL graffiti art turned into digital art and pure digital graffiti art. The graffiti was a demonstration against a centralized platform claiming to be decentralized scamming their customers. Later when I tried to sell my art on Opensea they removed my art, I didn't even think it was possible, but at first I thought it was because my art was of a photo of real-life graffiti art. That's when I tried to sell a few digital graffiti art assets and they were also removed.
Every art piece contained criticism of the platform openSea and I assume that's why my art was removed. Honestly I don't know if it's worth continuing with this NFT business considering I can make a living selling real-life art.
Hope this fits this subreddit and that it was at least a bit educational
