I'm sometimes fascinated by people who chose to do art for a living in a niche market like furry.
Like it's great that yiu can, but right now I'm just seeing people asking for help cause the market is barely there. I dunno, I don't particularly like having a soul sucking job. But I like the steady income, health insurance and not having to figure out over the top complicated taxes. But also in these times when luxury items are not people's main focus. When times get tuff a few thousand dollar fursuit is NOT priority. Like yeah it'd be nice, but for me I'd rather keep a roof over my head and my stomach full for a few months.
I dunno been seeing a lot more go fund mes from people who didn't branch out and are now paying the price. When it's good shits really good, but it's not sustainable. I don't think a lot of folks took that in to consideration, that what we are dealing with right now IS THE REALITY. The end is unclear and no where insight. So sticking with a failing business and not looking for a more sustainable backup is just overall a bad move.
