I just watched this (non-shorts link) youtube short, titled "Why are artists leaving Instagram?" (posted June 12th, 15 days ago), and it said that instagram's parent company "Meta" recently announced that it plans to use art posted on instagram to train their AI. This apparently caused many artists to delete their instagram accounts, and start hosting their art on Cara. The video cited this tweet by the founder of the site (posted June 6th, 21 days ago), where they say "Cara grew from 40k to 650k users in a week because artists are fed up with Meta's AI policies".
I don't know anything about the site beyond it apparently being an art-hosting platform. I had never heard of it (nor the instagram fiasco) before watching this video. I have no frame of reference for how relevant these numbers make the site relative to other art-hosting sites. But it doesn't appear that anyone else has brought this up yet, so I just figured I may as well.
