Being honest with you, I see a point from both. I however do have to give it to the free content people. Most of the artist who use this platform generally do so to promote their own website and then cease posting here. I'm not going to name them directly but there is a correlation with them and Patreon (which is now trying to have them banned) and you can see for yourself which have Patreon and have gone barren on this platform (even elder members who have been here before most of us). They post here to give a "taste" and then forget about us or post strictly to their platforms when they grow a bit. Also, the people who post the content have paid for the content and likely won't deter anyone who still wants to pay. Believe me, the artist have well more artwork the people who release the content don't also "grab".

I used to think that it would hurt Gurochan due to copyright and all that, but I was wrong. It actually brings in more people and allows amazing content to which we wouldn't have seen anyway. The artist themselves most times don't come on here anyway.

Even though it is out of my hands, I would strongly advise against it.
