@Economic_Hitman I got a girl to admit pansexuality didn't exist using this argument once. If your sexuality is what sex you are attracted to, and more or less there are only two sexes, then pansexuality cannot be a sexuality. If gender is a social construct, then it effectively doesn't exist once you break down the social construct that built it, which makes it little more than clumps of like personality traits. Everybody is attracted to different personality traits, including heterosexual people.

I'm surprised she actually understood what I was saying because most of them... Yeah they would just ban you. They can't stretch their brains that far.

@Goalkeeper nobody criticizing sonic fox could beat him in any fighting game lol

@coolboymew @anemone the account that posted it isn't even British lol this is like propaganda porn or something

@RustyCrab they get their cheap labor and we get less crime and less shit heads who can't speak English being nuisances. I'll take the W tbh.

@Fash-E it's his fault for buying a toothbrush you have to log in to

just some advice, from one creative to another. 

@winterfairy2022 that's $20 USD. that is the price of a decent meal at a sit down restaurant, not a snack. Most other artists I see are at least half that price to subscribe to get access to all the posts except for maybe like, raw PSDs or something. It's quite a lot to ask for as a perceived recurring payment given the nature of it being a non-necessity. I think some artists might have some tiers like that or higher but they offer things like character requests or have included commissions as part of the tier.

If you've already tried lowering it before, maybe you just need to advertise it a little bit more. And not in this way of like "I'm going to quit unless you support me!" because that rubs people the wrong way. Look at some other fanboxes for inspiration, rearrange the tiers, and then make a post about it saying they have been rearranged with a picture showing some examples of what you'll get and then make that your first pin so people see it when they click on your profile. If you post like a censored piece, make sure people know that it they pay for this tier for this amount they can see it uncensored.

The vast majority of people who tip me only tip $1. $5 is uncommon. Anything higher than that is a blessing. The only regular $20 tip I get is from a business nearby when I play music.

You can even look into like, YouTuber patreons or twitch subs. Or subscriptions for any service. You gotta be competitive. The amount of people paying $20/month even for something with extremely high amounts of value is pretty low.

Also in terms of follower count, you need to realize that the majority of your followers anywhere you go will not only never pay for anything, but never interact with your content at all... If they are even active on their accounts in the first place. You'll want to look at the ratio between subscribers and interactions. It looks like you have like 30ish likes per post? So if you have 10 supporters, that's 1/3 of people who interact in even the smallest way who are supporting. That's pretty good. There has to be a certain level of measuring expectations. If you want to see higher numbers of subscribers, you have to first get a higher number of interactions. That's a process that could require any number of different things, but you need to start there instead of using your current interacting audience to try and increase sales. Does that make sense?

And if you truly, really do not like to make 18+ art... You shouldn't. Seriously, it's not for everyone and that's okay. If you don't like doing something in your creative field, then if you force it you'll start to dislike your creative field. There is a balance, especially if you're trying to get money, but for instance there are some songs I will never learn and never play because I really don't want to play them despite how popular they are. If I had to play nothing but the top 100 at any given moment I would kill myself.

@djsumdog @ooignignoktoo I'm expecting there to be lots of posts like this with blatant misinfo to capitalize on the scare. It appears that it is an edited version of the message you get if you have an underage GeForce NOW account and try to play an 18+ game which has been the case for a while.
The Nvidia app, used to (optionally) download drivers and tweak graphic settings or use performance overlays and filters, doesn't even require an account to use.

There are two types of people in this world.
1. Nine Inch Nails - Hurt
2. Johnny Cash - Hurt
