>>> http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2652318/ <<< Hey guys, this idea crossed my mind lately, and as that one fur that comes up in your inbox, I kinda wanna do my best to make sure you stay there :V Now I realize that...not every fur in the universe likes mature/yiff art. In fact, some people absolutely despise it!
I post my fair amount of yiff art, mainly because it brings attention, which I need. But the thought that I'm being inconsiderate by not, at least trying to keep people who don't want to see male shafts and female "cats" from actually seeing them hits my brain a few times. Of course, an easy thumbnail could avoid the sight of these things, but is it really worth it?
of course, I'm not the only artist that draws yiff art, and I'm not the only artist that [i/you watch[/i] that does yiff art. With that said, even if I did thumbnail censoring, would it really make a change in the inboxes of furs who watch 100+ fully active furs at a time? Whom post fully exposed pics, as opposed to my blocked ones?
In my view, I REALLY REALLY don't want to, simply because being viewed on the front page for those mere few seconds can be the difference between whether they discover you or not, and having a concealed thumbnail keeps them away from actually making that decision....which is bad for me, especially for yiff art since that rakes in tons of attention :B I can understand about EXTREME things. Things that are just really fetish heavy and weird (scat, extreme tentacle porn, oviposition, period, gore porn, etc) That's understandable. But i'm talking simple, plain and straight forward, and lightly fetish influenced,yiff.
My question to you is...
Would it be worth it if I put concealing thumbnails on my adult images?

With the thumbnails as small as they are here, I'm not really put-off by stuff I don't want to see; it's so small that I can scan past it. If I have to go to the page with the larger image, just to find out what's there, then it's more in my face.
