This isn't really just an idea.
It is becoming more and more a reality.
I myself have entirely stopped to post drawings of mine online. Mostly because 'entitled manchildren' think they have any right to dictate if I should work for money or not.

There are many, many ways to circumvent the
'I-want-stuff-for-free'-crowd.
EG:
selling prints of unpublished digital artwork;
essentially changing the medium.

It is not that the 'more advanced' artist
provides a better 'fappening' experience.
It is about providing the 'fappening' experience at all.

As soon as the majority of artists realize,
that the crowd/plebb doesn't give a shit
about their struggle to make a living, they
are facing two choices:

A] STOP doing Art (for the public), because it
simply doesn't make any sense/money.

B] SELL Art EXCLUSIVELY to customers at price-rates that
justify the effort put into the process of creation
of mentioned art.

Art, as so many of you pointed out is a product,
that you do not really need. A luxury.

Luxury products are not meant for consumption of those
people who do not can or do not want to afford it. Simple.

I myself only sell my art this way. No exceptions.
And I make a pretty good living doing so.
Then, I some of my art gets leaked, I do not care, because I already
made my money.

I have done art before, was quite popular.
But popularity/likes/comments/followers… 'fans'
do not pay any bills.
CUSTOMERS pay bills.

I encourage every Artist I know to do the same.
The only way to survive in a world where your 'fans' SHIT on you
is to shit back on the 'fans'.
No pay no porn. Simple.

I PREDICT:
In future, there will be even less artists, especially in this very
specific niche who will create/publish online at all.
BECAUSE:
A] Most of those artists which are able and business-minded
will eventually acquire customers and serve
those exclusively. Maybe offline (prints etc) even if the art is
created digital.

B] Other Artists, which are less business-minded will simply stop
publishing/creating art because of frustration and RL-struggles,
which will be by then prioritized.

I ADVICE:
Every Artist, who is frustrated reading communist-minded comments
of degenerate dickheads:
→ Do your homework, think BUSINESS.
→ Commissions are NOT the only way to monetize.
→ changing the medium (eg. prints) changed my income drastically,
and prevented so much piracy.
Maybe you can benefit from that too.
→ fans/ppl who like your art != Customers.
→ 'fans' are nothing more than a medium for attention to reach
out to potential customers.

I know that my opinions are hardlined, but realizing
'how the game works' really changed my life.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
HAIL CAPITALISM!
