Reply to comment by Riegel_Haribo in I drew this pixel art scene using 11 colors and called it "Raided" [OC] by v78

It's frankly a pretty ridiculous level of self promotion. They even put up a Patreon link lmao. This isn't about showing off your art for others to appreciate. It's about trying to earn a quick buck and utilizing Reddit as free advertising.

So the subreddit gets quality content, and people who like said content can check out (and maybe support) the creator. What's the problem?

It's more bullshit Pixel Art fad. It's only quality content if you think a laser pointer is entertainment.

So you're upset that some posts don't cater to your personal taste? Just downvote and keep scrolling...

Posting a Patreon link and asking for money is the main problem. Just post 1 social media link. Say hey if you want to check out more of my stuff here's my Instagram or whatever. Just leave it at that.

Posting like 9 links and one being a site whose sole purpose is asking people for money is a bit much.

I just want to browse Reddit for discussions and to watch cool/entertaining things. But each day it gets more and more overtaken by advertisement. I'd like to scroll through subs without feeling like someone is trying to sell me something. Like it or not, that is exactly what is happening here and it's annoying.

I actually like that there are multiple links, since I don't have accounts on any of the major platforms. Without Patreon, the artist would have to either sell their work, or stop creating. Which would mean less art for you to enjoy for free...
