Welcome to Ethical Artist Hub (EAH)
The creative community thrives on integrity, honesty, and mutual respect. The Ethical Artist Hub was established to safeguard these values by bringing full transparency to exploitative practices within the online art world.
Our primary mission is to investigate and document the interconnected ecosystem of accounts, shells, and platforms using unethical tactics to profit off creators.Beside our core investigation into JRUHUB, we actively track secondary community threats, including art theft and generative AI usage.But exposing the bad actors is only half the battle. EAH is dedicated to countering exploitation by actively lifting up and celebrating genuine, independent artists who deserve authentic support, fair visibility, and a safe community space to showcase their talent.

Frequently asked questions
Q: How did Ethical Artist Hub start, and why are you doing this?
After the callout post at the start of 2026 went viral, people initially assumed it was just clients getting scammed on commissions, but when looking further into it, it was more about a network of broker accounts (middlemen) all associated with the same larger company within Indonesia (JRUHUB) and how previous and current employees and freelancers that have worked with the companies have been exploited.I stepped in to help compile the information that was shared within the community through the past couple of years by translating posts, reaching out to Indonesian creators who were speaking about it, getting more information and researching into the connected accounts.By February, the original creator asked me to take over the server entirely, which is when I rebranded the project as Ethical Artist Hub.Early on, discussions were messy and relied too much on unverified lists or "trust me" claims. I decided to archive those old forum channels so we could rebuild from scratch with stricter standards focusing on evidence, screenshot trails, and clear links to JRUHUB and its affiliated studio accounts. That way, clients and freelance artists can make informed decisions about who they work with.While JRUHUB's network is the primary focus of EAH, we also document other unethical practices in the community, such as Generative AI use, studios/brokers posing as independent solo artists, art theft, and heavy tracing.At first, I kept everything organized in individual Discord threads. But Discord has its limits, and I didn't want people to have to log into an app just to see the evidence. Moving the full archive to a public Google Drive, and using Discord strictly as a bulletin board, ensures the evidence is organized, permanent, and accessible to anyone who needs it.Q: Who runs the Ethical Artist Hub and handles my report?
A: EAH is managed entirely by a solo administrator to keep all evidence logs, social media, and data submissions completely secure and organized. A few trusted individuals assist with tracking network accounts behind the scenes, but all core operations and data management are handled by one person.Q: What counts as verified evidence for a submission?
A: We prioritize raw, unaltered documentation to ensure absolute accuracy in the archive. This includes unedited screenshots of public posts, direct message logs with visible timestamps and account handles, or direct links to archived web pages. We do not accept secondhand hearsay, or unsourced rumors.Q: How long does it take for a submitted report to be reviewed?
A: All incoming files are manually reviewed and cross-referenced against existing data by a solo administrator, reviews typically take between 7 to 14 days. In some cases, additional research time may be required.Q: Can an account be removed from the lists?
A: Yes. We believe in absolute transparency and fairness. If an account has been mistakenly listed, they can submit a formal appeal. Please navigate to our π | forms folder in the database and fill out the Right to Respond / Correction Submission form so the case can be re-evaluated.Q: How can we help support you and the Ethical Artist Hub?

β¦ The Keepers of the Archive β¦
Beyond the files, logs, and evidence, this hub is driven by a deep love for authentic human artistry. Managing a public database takes meticulous care, but it also requires a clear vision for why we protect creators. To balance the heavy work of documentation, these two characters were created to bring a bit of warmth to the project. Representing the careful archiving and the bright creative future we are building here. Step away from the data grids for a moment and meet the keepers of Ethical Artist Hub: one who handles the ink and archives, and one who carries the light for our artist community.
βοΈ Eleah | The Archivist
Eleah is the keeper of the Hubβs truth. Armed with her Prism Quill, she spends her hours translating raw public logs into a beautifully organized, unedited archive where facts can rest securely. She works by the steady rhythm of her own thoughts, and a little bit of caffeine. For her, every file is a brick laid toward a more transparent world for artists.
π―οΈLumi | The Guide
Lumi carries the spark that keeps the Hub moving. Armed with his Lamp and a little bit of magic, he flies the perimeter of the project, shedding light on honest talent and guiding creators away from the shadows. Where data can feel heavy, Lumi brings gentle hope, reminding the community of the bright future they are building together. Every lantern lit is a promise that artists will have a safe place to thrive.
Together, Eleah and Lumi represent the dual mission of EAH:
Exposing systemic exploitation through rigorous documentation,
and using our collective resources to keep the fire of
genuine human artistry burning bright.
