Unpopular Opinion: E621 and Sharing Art is Great
6 years ago
So as a more amateur artist, not nearly good enough to be accepted onto one of those pay sites, I love it when I see my art (as well as my commissioned pieces) shared elsewhere. It's a sign that people care enough about it.
Also a good chunk of my favorite artists now, I would never have learned about if not for seeing their work on e621 or some Telegram channel. If I have given an artist money, there's a good chance it's because of e621.
That and sometimes I get insights from those who are more blunt. I appreciate blunt over sugarcoating tbh.
Anyway, as for work I have created myself, it's under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA) license. So you can do what you like with it as long as you share it with that license and don't try to make money off of it.

I just disagree with the solution. But yeah, a lot of regulations are onerous.
