>it's about just not wanting to pay money for people art.

There's plenty of people who produce art for free just because it's a hobby and they get kicks off people jerking to their stuff; I guess these artists can go get jobs instead of trying to support themselves on fucking furry porn. I'm more than willing to pay for an original, unique work to put on my wall or on my skin but I'm not paying for a digital file of cartoon animals fucking when there's already so much available for nothing. Furry artists need to get into their head that they're not special or really worth anything. Other artists (like musicians) seemed to have figured this out long ago, you can spend hundreds of hours practicing a skill but no one gives a shit when they can only extract a few minutes of enjoyment out of the fruits of your labor before moving on.

*also a lot of time spend on art is actually inverse to skill, there are plenty of really good artists that can knock out a sketch a minute when it takes a shit artists hours to produce an MS paint abomination, I ain't paying a $15 commission that only takes someone 10 minutes of light doodling**

Thanks for doing this man. I'd help too but, I've got no space left on my hard drive to archive anything, so it's good to know other anons are doing their part in archiving this stuff.

It allways sucks to see a site going down, because you always have to find a way to archive the data.

Sidenote, could I get a copy of the picture? It's cute as fuck.

I pay for porn, I commission things regularly from artists I like, but I request my own characters. If the majority of your profit comes from fan-art then you can fuck off. Go make some original characters or something.

Also I've already donated to yiff party, and encourage you faggots to do the same.

I only had a hundred gigs left on my media drive and dont really have much I could delete tbh but, I put in a 500 gb hard drive I had laying around from a dead laptop I had.

Is there an alternative for quantum? Because that's the browser I use.

>the artist you want to see uses Pay up front making yiffparty useless

if it wasn't for that and the unnecessary non furry patreon stuff yiff party might have a chance

>>79757

All browsers especially quantum eat up entire RAMs (unless you have TB amount of RAM or a decent amount for multitasking in the middle of a game). I use old firefox since most addons aren't updated to support quantum.

>other anons manually import the PUF-enabled patreons on yiff party

How is that useless? The bots are useless but real users can manually import the content.

The irony of this post is incredible

You're the one acting like you're special, like you're in any position to tell people how they're making money is worthwhile or not. If someone's making money drawing dog dicks instead of making someone else rich, that's fine. It's a free country.

You deciding not to pay artists you don't respect doesn't mean they suddenly stop making money. Erotic art is still a market. Get off your high horse.

>>79826

you do have to wonder about the kind of people who choose to pay

as a general rule they make for terrible arbiters of what art should and shouldn't be produced.

but whatever, i guess it means i get to have fun shocking people with tales of shit ych's that cost more than 3 months rent for a normal person.

>>79733

Mining cryptocurrency doesn't mean you're not helping the company selling cryptocurrencies for real money, Pirating patreon exclusives and not paying the artist afterwards doesn't mean the artist is not making any money, because the art market is still up and running just like cryptocurrency. And most people use patreon money as disposable income anyway.

>>79826

I never said they couldn't charge people, only that artists shouldn't get mad when people pirate their art because it's not worth paying for.

I dont really mind yiff.party existing because there will always be a site where people take advantage of artists, thats how the internet works.

But i gotta say, you are a fucking scumbag if you think someone else's art is not worth paying for and then looking after it in sites like yiff.party.

Like for real, you can't even throw a fucking penny because its just "furry art" but you rather spend money on cleaning the keyboard you keep on smearing with your fucking semen so you can type out more idiotic opinions on the internet.

Either support with money or don't , either watch shit on yiff.party or dont, both are understandable, but your line of thought is disgusting.

Good riddance.

mad retard : )

>The site is gonna close down if it doesn't receive enough donations for the servers

why is nobody asking for source on this claim?

>>79872

>>79896

>saging because you realized you're retarded

lmao

Poorfags blown the fuck out

>>79886

I simply don't have any money to pay it.

And getting a real job is a good option.

>>79886

even though i don't really do ethical consumerism i'll never give artists a penny because i don't think this should be a commercial fandom to begin with. it will never be non-commercial, but at least i'm not complicit.

the artists may just be cogs in the machine who can't really be blamed individually for taking a rational course of action, but i'll be damned if i'm going to have sympathy for a cog.

>>79918

Because when i made this thread, there was only a cent donated, but after a day, some anons donated hundred more to keep up one or more months for the server.

Being poor has nothing with not wanting to waste money on gate keeping furries.

would be a damn shame if it shut down. Those pay wall cunts don't deserve money

>>79714 (OP)

this a troll or fur real?

>I do not see myself as a furry

>that profile pic

What did he mean by this?

>>83407

purge all the normalfags and go back to furry only

problem solved.

>>83407

Personally I wouldn't mind artists having a patreon if they didn't lock their art behind it and for whatever art they don't they just slap a huge distracting patreon watermark that just ruins the picture.

If you don't care enough about your art to ruin it then why the fuck do you want me to pay?

It gets worse when someone's art just stagnates and never improves because they hit a magic number for their earnings per month. Then it's like "Why should I fund someone who refuses to improve?"

You can like Star Trek without being a Trekkie. There are varying degrees of participation but I'd say the rubicon of Furry is whether the artist has a fursona. If they don't, they can still consider themselves not furry.

>>79733

>there are plenty of really good artists that can knock out a sketch a minute

Not paying for the minute of labor but years of practice etc, etc.

Jackaloo please?
