Those are pointless questions
because you are talking purely about business issues unrelated to the art itself. Sure artists need money to live but this is no diffrent from everyone else, and if we do not discuss Walmart cashiers or baristas there no reason to discuss artists on the aspect either.

We do not need such art at all, if it is not free it is pointless. The only value of paywaled content is that eventually it will leak, otherwise it is like asteroids flying in the space and they do not concern us until they land on earth.

If some rich "elites" want to waste money on the stuff like that, then great they are like some separate planets which does not concern us and we should not concern them either. We can just treat each other as totally unrelated aliens.
That BB guy actually said many things right. Except that paying customers are super rare and they consume in few orders of magnitude less stuff than pirates.

the point of copyright and patent law is to compensate artists for their work so that this world will eventually end in the public domain. This is our only concern: how to bring more stuff to public domain. So we can discuss what kind of compensation or motivation artists can be given for making more content available to public.

Current system is that people who don't want to wait pay and the rest get same thing for free after some time.

Considering hating artists, we should not forget that if artist is trying to advertise their pay walled content on the forum this is nothing else that plain, unadulterated spam. If someone posts incomplete story of heavily censored pictures with intent to tease and irritate people suggesting to pay to see the rest he totally deserves hate and punishment like any other spammer promoting penis enlargement.

the biggest problems I see with guro is that many sites do not allow guro and loli content so even leaking that stuff becomes problematic since there is nowhere to upload it. You can find site rips of pretty much every mainstream artist but guro and loli content is pretty hard to get
