Is there a way to disable or avoid the Explore tab opening by default every time I access the Avatars menu?

It feels incredibly frustrating to be greeted with purchasable avatars after investing hundreds of hours curating and creating my own. Being immediately presented with "Look what you can buy!" undermines the effort many of us have put into our personal projects. Some players have spent thousands just to have a model made or perfected, and this default view can feel like a dismissal of that work and or investment of self expression.

I understand that VRChat is a business, and monetization is important—but pushing the store so aggressively in a space that was once about creativity and self-expression feels like it's at the expense of your core community.

At the very least, could the default view be changed to show My Avatars instead of the store first? Having to make that extra click every time may seem minor, but after hours of avatar work, it’s disheartening. It gives the impression that the platform no longer prioritizes its creative community.

Please reconsider how this feature is implemented. Respecting user choice and creation should remain a fundamental part of VRChat.

This is my Personal Opinion

Thanks
