>>7942899 Yes, especially ever since covid made anime completely mainstream. Just draw currently popular female anime/game/gacha character in sexy outfit on white background or redraw of meme.
>>7942899 It has always been this way, no matter how good you are with drawing and painting.
"Making it" in social media is more similar to being an influencer or running a bussines than actually being an artist.
Social media algorithms overall won't push your work to the point of recognition if the drooling retards that are using the app don't pay any mind to it. Only other artists recognize and appreciate art, that's if they even get the chance to run into their posts, buried under mountains of shit. Otherwise its just slop to keep the users scrolling.
So it's best to not pay much mind to it and take them as they are.
>>7943227 anon, no matter how much you explain this, the coping fags in here will come up with some retarded mental gymnastics and say that's not true or some other bs excuse.
>>7943441 >high patreon bux How though? He puts dirty jokes in his pics but they're not very sexual in imagery and it's usually just memes instead of safehorny bait that beckons you into the patreon. Why does he earn so much from patreon? At least I get people like telepurte getting a lot because of the goonbait and animation. But what's the motivation behind people who sub to his barren patreon? It's not like his posts are all paywall teasers like OF thots.
>>7942992 you didn't draw it. you stole it from fucking newgrounds (I know it because I commented on it there). unless you are the artist. but i don't believe you are because you're on 4chan.
that's all you have to do?! Just draw nice things??? Holy shit OP i think you cracked it!! That's so crazy it just might work! You crazy dog..... im in!!!!!
>>7942899 Secret to what? Five seconds of fame? Spending the rest of your life posting fake screenshots to pretend like you have huge engagement in hopes of getting actual engagement? Trend chasing faggots are factory-made. Notice how your shill thread failed because not a single person cares enough to ask who the artist.
>>7945241 Calling them "people" is an insult to humanity.
>>7948399 four chins isnt really a sekrit club anymore and i've been on the site since like 09. but thank you for commenting, anon. any shred of attention is another dopamine hit not received cheaply through vidya and other bad habits. you shouldve been able to tell by the good smile racing grill from the DTIYS thread and most recently the frank miller one
>>7942899 You may seethe, but khyle locked the fuck down by pandering and making bank off from terminally online zoomertroons that were raised with a phone in their hands.
>>7946078 he has paywalled works wich are sexual afaik
Also always assume foul play when it's statistically impossible for way too many creators in the same niche to earn that much on patreon alone. You would just need to check the current patreons and you would come to the conclusion that it's either >the same people subbing to every single creator >or the creators making multiple profiles sharing the same bank account to inflate numbers Astroturfing in sales is the oldest trick in the book You'll just remake the money you'd be losing on fees either way by baiting real paypigs The other possibility is money laundering
Remember; -porn is free and available with a single search -normies don't give a shit about art that they'd pay for it -continuous patreon subscribers are even more mythical than unicorns
if i worked for any governmental finance institution i'd have a field day with this shit, especially if money travels from one country to another
Even OF is a clear example of the 1%>99% so why is patreon such a huge exception?
