>>2233532The art posted here isn't that different. Plus, a big/ger artist leaving the scene makes it more competitive since people want to grab his fans that are left with nothing to pay for. Meaning, they'll be making art that's similar if not better than him (although he does make $1k which isn't that bad plus probably sells stuff and commissions)
Plus piracy has been a thing as long as the internet has. What you have to do is adapt. Stop blaming the market for changing.
For example, even a few years ago, ads were still a profitable thing. But then they got too pushy and ad blockers were created. Thanks to that though, ads had to adapt and become smarter. They both became even more annoying to trick your everyday user and started sponsoring people to mention their product in a video they make or an article or something
You either adapt or choose to do something else. Why not make pots or grow pot? Nobody can pirate that.
