If you have job you go to every day with a boss that pays you money, please don't comment on creators asking for money.

You don't have to ask to be paid by your boss every day because you have an employment contract.

There's no rule that anyone has to pay for art, entertainment, or any other type of work online. Most people just take it for free. So creators need to remind people that there is no one paying us, and it's their responsibility to do it.

T:;DR people with money need to shush

@GinnyMcQueen funny how they complain about people having patreons but not about the fact that their employer is stealing from them literally every day

I'd add to this that anyone with a steady income who likes art has an opportunity to make art possible by paying artists.

Pay them in the way they want. They're flying with near-zero support.

My science/fiction/art/game blog is paid for by you at patreon.com/joshua

@GinnyMcQueen's is patreon.com/GinnyMcQueen.

@GinnyMcQueen I don't ask for money (yet?) because I give my books away CC-BY-SA, but I understand that other creators need to.

Good luck.

@GinnyMcQueen sometimes people are critical of others who do the things they can't or just don't do.

I like your work. Artwork IS work. Keep asking.

Those that don't like it...nobody is forcing you to be here.
