Venting a bit about artists and related websites...

General
OK since FA's recent downtime and the negative comments some have said about this recent attack pretty much blaming Fa i decided i really need to address something that has been on my mind lately. it involves art and artists in general. i am not singling anyone out just putting my thoughts out there ok.
For em i follow a lot of people on Fa, as well as on DA, and sofurry I also check out some tumblr pages and blogspot and so on. but i am starting to get annoyed at a few trends.
First trend i see if artist moving to Patreon and do not get me wrong i understand why but when you need to pay $3+ just to see even lineart and not what you used to see when the
yt posted prior i cannot follow them anymore. I mean it adds up and i for one cannot do a lot of these $3+ just to see something i used to see i mean SSDi only goes so far for me. and having the $1 a month be of a tip seems really stupid to me.
Second is other sites that artist have been going to like Weasly and more recent Furry Network. I tried to follow ppl on Weasly but when ppl change their names and have no indication who they were before anywhere it makes it more difficult to know who i am watching at times and with FN, from what i read from others posting about it there seems to be keys you need to get just to create an account and again it seems like chances are i may not know who it is that i am following,
finally when an artist moves away from here, more than half the time there is no concrete journal, no pic saying I moveed! etc only there journals saying other places to find me" giving no indication they ar leaving Fa or have left. with the current 1450 user i watch its VERY hard to tell who has left FA for good for another site..
Btw i would make another attempt at Weasly, but you are unable to sort the submission by oldest first or even by who created them and atm i have 3803 submissions i need to somehow sort through.
P.S. To anyone who thinks its s FA's fault on this recent issue i would love for you to provide me a hack-proof code, and if you say you know one, then i wish you dream was real... No code is hacker-proof.
