It's not only the number of posts that are at issue, or whether or not there is AI in it. I actually enjoy a handful of the AI artists here.
HOWEVER, I'd also appreciate the ability to "unfollow" gallery posts by users I don't want to follow. You can "block" forum posts, I can't see how it would be much more difficult to "block" gallery posts, and the user doesn't have to know that their images aren't being viewed. THAT seems to be the most equitable solution. Let viewers have the choice of what they do or don't want to view.
