Musings about Patreon and why I don't like talking about me

General
So, Patreon. A reasonably good invention, I suppose. Of course, you lose some of the money due to a "fee" (but that's capitalism for you, only air is free. For now), but in the grand scale of things, it isn't that terrible. Personally, I've considered creating a Patreon account several times, but I don't think it's the right time. My art isn't really top-notch, I barely have any knowledge about using programs for digital coloring (speaking of which, I could use a suggestion about some programs, since PS is too complicated) and I can't guarantee to post stuff on a set schedule. Also, paywalls. That sucks a load of ass. It's ok to post a picture and then have a bunch of versions or whatnot that should be paid for. But when your gallery on dA, FA or anywhere is just close-ups of eyes, tits or foreheads, you should be amazed that you even have watchers. But again, that's only my opinion which is worth less than a snail's shit.
Now, the second part of this overly long journal. I don't like talking about myself because I don't want people to get occupied with my problems and because I don't want to look like a filthy attention whore. That's pretty much it. If anyone wants to know more about me, I'll tell them, but why would anyone want to know more about myself is beyond me.
Also, in case anyone noticed, I don't like putting a full stop at the end of the last sentence in my comments, unless it's a very serious matter. Luckily, I didn't have to use a full stop yet

Problem is that with any good invention, there's gonna be plenty who abuse it.

OP
That's rule no. 1 of being human: whatever you create, with whichever intention, someone will find a way to kill a dude with it, or at least rob him. People are incredibly dumb creatures. But by making tools, they achieved the same thing elephants did with sheer size:they reached the top of the ecosystem, which they proceeded to destroy. I personally don't like being called smart, because I'm actually dumb as all fuck. Unless you need a mostly unreliable information source or an obstacle, I'm pretty much useless
