You can donate a certain amount of bux you set each month to artists you like. Basically if you've got a popular artist even if every fan just gives him a couple bux/month he might get enough to devote himself to whatever he is doing. That is the original idea I guess ?

Tbh some of us (Pick) use this website more than others and I feel that I am unfairly subsidizing picks posting. Unless some kind of fee by post usage is enabled were basically instituting a forced welfare state of posting.
Sometimes I feel like God really skipped out on me by making me a man. If the internet has shown me anything, its that you don't even need to be pretty to have men through oodles of money at your feet for flashing your ladycave.

I guess if you are only half dumb it allows you to support some people who deserve it and are responsible about donations ? But yeah, it's mainly :homebrew: Guess it's the feeling of being part of something and of "creating" poo poo by proxy

I dunno there are a lot of artists who work online and don't make a lot of money because of it and it seems a more reasonable way for them to support themselves than charging for a Web comic or jpg something.

That being said the fan artists and you tube video people using it are kind of lame.

Even Egoraptor who is a manbaby that literally poo poo himself in one of his videos has said people are acting stupid. Thaat's how bad it is. His fans have responded by saying he has "lost it". I swear internet nerds are the only people to whom "don't harass someone for video games" sounds like a controversial response.

When I heard that there was a video game called 'Depression Quest' I thought it was a typical word salad title you find on indie games these days.

But it's actually about having depression? That's loving stupid.

I really don't get people who gently caress ugly/fat girls who are also balls to the wall crazy.

I mean, if you're loving someone who's not very attractive, why not at least make sure that they're sane, and chill? It's like "okay, so she's not hot but she's a cool person to hang out with, also she bathes"
