Supporting the artist does come first (push for that like button on request btw).

That being said, are you saying people are making a full living on being Guro artist and supplying to and small, (although super strong) niche? Wouldn't that be kind of impractical and not a full means to make living money, but rather side projects and things they relatively were going to do but didn't necessarily have the funds/time for?

Also, wouldn't censored artwork or a teaser generally have no full affect for those who glance over it and move to the next post. Are you implying that they have a system of those who already support them (compared to those who use this site for free) and they just post on here for the occasional person who might pass up all these artworks to pay for content? I'm not saying to ignore them/their request altogether, but I don't really see a super big deal in a few pieces of old artwork they have stored in their larger archive atleast one pirate may have to pay for being leaked. I have literally gone to some of the Patreon sites and websites and seen the artist literally posting nonstop, damn near up to the date content and some artist whom I've never seen or heard of with their artwork popping up here. I literally didn't know they existed.

I think in general, not even all moderators or people care much for some content leaks. The underlying thing most people are saying is don't be boastful with the posting of the content, respect the artist (Also thank you Onix for being a contributor :) ), valid reasoning for having the artwork taken down (breach of anonymity, etc) should be taken into consideration,
* Special Sidenote: Is there a means of rebranding the pictures so they can't be doxed that can be added to the site? Was this also by chance someone recognized the style?
And most importantly, make sure to treat everyone respectfully despite maybe not getting your fantasy fulfilled by them and finding tasteful ways to relay your disappointment, especially when they post the paywall lol.

I remember I wanted an artist to redo one of their animations/make a new one and after a while just stopped asking. I just went to another artist and they fullfilled it with additional ideas I never even thought of. If you want something fullfilled btw, just ask another person. They might give you something better and encourage them to keep creating better content. Also, follow by Onix' example if you can and become that artist while also requesting and taking request so we all can grow.
