General
rambling thought: i think there are so many amazing artists on this site, but i find i have such a specific way i like to follow artists. don't take it personally!
i like artists who don't post too much so i can infrequently check in on the site and be greeted to a handful of pictures. not feel like i have to trudge through a lot of submissions.
i like seeing occasional NSFW, but if i'm seeking NSFW i'm generally going to go searching tags or for known galleries. i keep NSFW on but i prefer if what i'm seeing in my submission feed is mostly SFW.
if furaffinity had the ability to only see NSFW entries, and not both, or just SFW, i'd definitely follow way more NSFW artists. NSFW viewing is such a different mindset for me that i find is really spoiled by seeing someone put their heart into a SFW piece that makes me think depely. the vibe has to be right for the moment. and i find i much prefer what SFW art on fa gives me more than anything.
i also love furry musicians and occasional posts to go along with SFW viewing is definitely my preferred setup. i don't think i'm really in the mood for any music with NSFW. in fact, beyond tagging actually explicit content appropriately in music, so nobody's surprised, i don't see why music and art is put into the same NSFW stream. just doesn't feel like the same context at all for "consuming" all those submissions at once.
i used to feel bad about leaving 100s of submissions behind. eventually i got through them all, eyeballing the thumbnails and deciding if i wanted to give them all a closer look or not. made me feel a bit bad, but having a clear submission feed feels so good.
i wonder, does anyone else feel this way about who they choose to follow? how they look at anything on furaffinity?

NSFW is tough for me too; my aesthetic tastes seem violated in pretty much all the (limited window of) porn that I like, maybe this is just tantamount to me saying that it's hard for me to find porn I like tho cause I don't mind mixing NSFW and SFW stuff
and yeah like i like certain pictures by artists, but every NSFW artist is going for something different. i find having to sift through a lot of patreon ads and previews, often for pictures that i'm honestly not sure if i like, but that much feels fair to set aside as "this wasn't it but maybe someday they'll post something that piques my interest".
