I feel like every other month there's a new platform where I'm not welcomed, and if I wanted to dedicate more of my time to this, there's not a lot of options on how to monetise it.

Wishing I wasn't seeing a return of the Nazi party's 'degenerate art' ideology in real time, I tell you.

What would benefit us a lot more is giving us stronger tools to use ourselves to apply labels to our work, because we actually have very little interest in showing our work to people who don't want to see certain themes! We're good at that and this is taking that power away from us.

I understand a personal website as a public backup of all your stuff, but what happens when the server hosting company disallows the things that I draw? And how are artists supposed to earn their livelihood with the limited reach of a personal site?

Oh absolutely, gimme a sec.

It's assisted in the same way that riding on a bus is "public transport assisted".
