Concern over the shiny system.
6 years ago
FA admins have just released and announced a better way of funding artist; one that doesn't require that ONE $100 commission you've probably been saving up for.
By linking one's Paypal (not patreon) to your FA account, users can receive donations... and this is my concern.
How do patreon users use the shiny system? A lot of artist use patreon.
Another thing, is that with this new Shiny system, we're bound to see a new kind of problem.
Account spamming.
Hackers.
and Shiny span (anyone always asking for shinies).
This will likely make Furafinity go from leisurely in the comments, to competitive and slightly toxic.
So... Everyone get ready to block the people who beg for shinies in YOUR artwork.
._.) Also... I might need a few shinies to help my living situation.

To be fair asking for shines sounds like asking for random donations. So it's not a huge incentive to be obnoxious... i think. Hackers though yes. This site has gone down before and been mirrored too. I can only imagine how easy it would be to hack the old servers on this thing. Oh well. I see people embracing the system already in my journals so we'll see.
