Thanks for joining the conversation @stevestrange.
I'm not saying you shouldn't use the art tag if you are actually making art content. What I am referring to is people abusing the tag by posting anything and everything with the tag just thinking it will get them some extra attention even though their post has nothing to do with art at all.
But being more specific in the tags helps to avoid the fuckery that is currently going on inside the art tag. I scroll the art tag, but never hold much hope for it. The drawing and painting tags are where I find most of the gold outside of my feed. I'm hoping we can soon reclaim the art tag for actual art and original content.
