YCH?

|| Patreon || So I've been pretty productive lately (not everything I do is posted. Which is for the best, trust ;P) and I've been splashing about in the big NSFW pool that is adult art. I've been sketching a variety of body types, positions, etc, but with no urge to put my own characters in these situations. I mean, I have promiscuous characters (boy howdy) but it just hasn't felt like 'their' sort of images.
That being said, I see a lot of YCHs around... I have mixed opinions about things (YCH, Adoptables, etc) but I've never been one to say "NO ONE SHOULD EVER DO A THING EVER". I mean, artistic and personal freedom, yo. And I'm always pro my fellow artists making money. :)
I was wondering, given that the YCH market is pretty darn saturated already, if it's something I should even try to do? Is there something else that people want to see but feel that artists don't listen? I'm honestly curious about your opinions!
In case you were curious about mine:
On the subject of Adoptables, I never understood them as-is because if I wanted a character I would just create one. That's a very me-ccentric way to look at it, and I know there's people who aren't as creative, or are tired of making the same things, and like pointing at a design and going 'ooh! I want that!'. Totally cool. And I've seen some really neat Adoptable ideas that go along with the art, story-wise.
But as an artist, if someone makes a bunch of adoptables and they don't sell... I see artists getting upset. And that doesn't make sense to me. Either they sell or they don't. Shouldn't get mad at anyone, or feel like you're a crappy artist because of it. Art is only a part of it, and I think the concepts are really the parts that sell.
On the subject of YCH, I kind of wrinkled my nose at the idea at first for no other reason than it seemed... assembly-line. But honestly, the more I've thought about it the more I can nod my head and go "okay, yeah I see the appeal for both artists and commissioners".
Honestly I don't think I had a serious issue with either Adoptables or YCHs, because my opinions seem to be fully rooted in 'whatever floats your boat!'. If it sells, it sells, and clearly there's a market for it. Who am I to yuck anyone's yum? The Grand Poobah of art? HARDLY. xD
So, thoughts? Opinions? I just like hearing what's on your guys' minds, too. :D

My YCH opinion, Its easier than full on commissions cause the stage is already set, no sending in a drawing for approval and being met with a multitude of changes. fixing them, then coloring, then told about more changes, waiting for responses, ect. it gets taxing. So sometimes YCH is just a more pleasant process.
