If I used one of your images and said "Hey, I got this from Aaronbill3, go check out his other stuff" that gets you recognition for and more attention toward your work. If anything, it helps you. Alright, now I'm pissed. God knows artists NEVER profit from their work, and god CERTAINLY knows NOBODY EVER MAKES A LIVING AS AN ARTIST. I heave heard that "lol it gets u more known so it's actually helpinf" excuse SO MANY TIMES it's not even funny, and every single time, it is OBJECTIVELY WRONG.

EXPOSURE DOES NOT PAY THE BILLS.

So many human leeches like you try to suck the talent off of other people without paying for it because "hey, it's just art". Well, you know what? To SOME PEOPLE, art is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, and blatantly STEALING it like this is literally TAKING AWAY FROM THEIR LIVELIHOODS.

I'd like to think we're friends, Bry, but your attitude towards this is frankly disgusting. I wasn't trying to get you mad, but it was kinda funny to see that overreaction, not gonna lie. But seriously, YOU are not profiting from your art, correct? YOU have a free art service among other services that you provide of your own free will. I'm not saying that no one has ever profited from art, I'm saying that the people I've "stolen" from aren't. And how is giving Aaron exposure (like in the example I provided) not what it's doing? If I told people to check out his work, does that not point people to his work? I mean, seriously, CaT, you gotta think about these things before you send them out.
