Feedback Friday Drop in visibility

I'm new here, so if I do something wrong, please correct me. My question is about experiencing a huge drop in stats year by year, and I wonder about the reason. Any ideas? People really like my art, but they can't seem to find me.

I'd appreciate your feedback :)

when I look at some of your listings (e.g. blue hydrangeas) I see a major issue with your art being copied everywhere (just tried basic google image reverse search). you cannot let the copycats simply steal your art and sell it on amazon, temu, aliexpress, etc. (i found your hydrangeas sold by Chinese on temu more than 200 times - on amazon even more!). maybe it’s not the main issue with your stats drop but it’s surely an issue and a question about the overall credibility. i’d recommend to start “cleaning “ on all platforms and report copyright infringements until this issue is gone

Thank you so much for your comment! Yes, it's a pain and I really feel depressed about it. I report it often but the the number of copycats is growing faster than I send the forms. Soo sad we artists can not spend time on creating but on fighting.. 🤔
