Sigh....yeah i like the adult section of newgrounds for many years now.
It was a splurting (is that a word?) place of many creative minds that offered the world their interpretation of adult scenes, games, movies, pictures.
Nowadays i see a million Source Filmmaker scenes that are linked to a patreon and are a few seconds long.
Not only that, but people rip little pieces of their works (animated or otherwise,i see a lot of visual novels too, that sometimes even have stolen work in it) that are sold on their patreons.
I, as a consumer ask myself: Does that make your approval rate higher or gets you more money because a few thousand people give you a dollar or more?
I know that creators need to eat, as all we humans have to.
As a member that was able to observe newgrounds for some time now have the feeling i dont have the chance to "vote" fair to you when you give me a few seconds of your ideas and tell me: " well you can buy it, i bet its great for you".
The market is too big for that. You know what, im willing to spend money when i know the greatest scenes, when i see the potential, the idea behind everything and when it hits my spot. Im not willing to pay for a beta or some unfinished thought.
Even Nutaku that has most of the time only pay-to-win-games or overpriced downloadable games show me most of the time what im going to get.
Interesting times indeed.
