such troll, so BS
Wanting to be paid for one’s work isn’t sacrificing one’s artistic integrity, but the implication here is that the purist artist is also necessarily the poorest–that somehow, an artist accepting money for their art is a violation of “”“”“integrity”“”“”, when in fact, it looks like you just don’t want to contribute, and as a way to justify that, you’re trying to ridicule me for asking for donations. That’s fine if you don’t want to pay for more content. Hell, if no one contributes, I can happily keep putting out the same amount I’ve been doing here for the foreseeable future, but the fact of the matter is, I’d really like to be putting out more than I currently am, and the only way I can do that is by opening up more time, and the only way I can do that is by cutting back my work schedule, and the only way I can do that is by replacing that revenue stream with something else.
The fact is, I want to do so much more than two captions a week, and occasionally some longer commissions. I think I can put out some pretty fantastic stories and content that all of you would really like to see. But I can’t do all of that on my own.
This isn’t me sacrificing integrity, this is just my ambition showing, and if you can’t handle that, get the fuck out of my way.
