FA's new spam changes: My thoughts.
12 years ago
Squirrel!
Well I kinda agree with their new spam rules.
I've never been the type to go after free art. I am the sort of person that thinks that if I don't have the money to buy something, I don't get it, simple. I don't enter raffles much, in fact very rarely, though I have won one of the few I have entered.
Now, the raffles many artists hold do spam the inboxes of users. Sometimes I'd log in to FA and find a bunch of them in a row from the same user posting journals to different raffles. Which can be quite annoying. However, Tamara made a very good point, it does gain an artist some watchers.
The only thing is, I feel it can also gain an artist watchers for the wrong reasons. There are furries in the fandom that do whatever they can to obtain free art. Which means if they come across an artist holding raffles on a regula or semi-regular basis they will watch that artist just to try to get free art.
Personally I am more inclined to watch an artist based on two factors. 1: if I like their style. 2: Quality of their work. An artist doesn't have to tick both boxes either, just one.
Feel free to discus and drop in your views. :)
