Pay verse Getting Free

*I post Journals a bit rarely, but they mostly are for my current mood, so, yeah, you know, ranting or prideful talking.*
Money in one hand, having people use you in the other, it's a scale everyone has to use and look over.
I was in a stream, watching at first, enjoying seeing artwork getting done by talented hands, then decide I'd like to commission the artist, understanding the artist would like to finish the freebie they're working on at the moment before starting my commission. Once they were done, the artist started on my commission, doing good at it in start sketch stages, then I get jumped by three others watching the stream, all asking "Why are you commissioning during a free art stream? This is a chance for others with no money to get something and you're ruining it for me.", and so on.
And so, with this, I will no longer be commissioning artist who do freebies, cause I'm wrong for wanting to pay for something, rather than beg for it or demand it from the artist...
Sorry all, but venting, I may change my mind, but still, to you three on the stream, fuck you...

If an artist wants to take the time to be generous and do free art for people, that's fantastic. They have zero obligation to do so. Furthermore it's their stream and they can do whatever they want. Those three idiots just potentially cost a perfectly legitimate artist future work because of their freeloading. Awesome.
