its pretty simple you cant avoid piracy, it still gets more eyes on your work, therefor results in more people who are fans of your work and more people who might end up supporting you for making an absolute banger. Theres lots of people who come to F95 to check out what artists have to offer and then afterwards decide who they want to support. like lets say youd have 50 bucks to spare each month you probably want to make sure you give it to the people you think deserve it the most/who make art that you like the most.Ik, its freaking awesome, man! But still, its kinda 'weird' seein the artist here when this place kinda 'messes up with their stuff'
of course it also comes with a flipside of some people who may have paid upfront to see the work now not needing to do so but things never are truly black and white. I think its a smart decision to embrace it rather than to resent it
(maybe it would help some artists tho if people wouldnt grab stuff from F95 and then literally upload it to the main R34 forums)
