@abcdefTl Its frustrating when you think you're doing something original and other people start doing it too. instead of thinking negatively about it, think about how the joy that you feel when creating is being shared with other people because of a style you helped popularize :)

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@SolaraceVT that is just not the same at all lmfao good luck finding any artists to ever work with you in the future

Vtubers: Artists should lower their commercial fees for smaller creators!
Vtubers when artists do that:

[Bluebell 🩵🎐 @bluebellpixels]

browsing vgen and welllll that's a first

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@solkiza I agree for things that are merch or vtuber oriented comms for sure.. Like why would anyone not include commercial/streaming license on models, emotes, stingers, overlays, etc? Or if its a merch ych then like yeah include the merch fee?

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@ginirohagiwara the classic answer for merchandising is royalties- but there are just WAY too many hurdles to make that feasible on the small scale of indie vtubers and small artists

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@takamoripilled Thats so fair!! I'm happy you like them since you own them!! I just wish maybe the design had a liiiiittttlllleeee more yknow?? Like maybe a teal earbud tip or some side decals too~

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@chocoflakey The thing that gets me is that the person doing these is clearly a talented artist.. like yeah its a stick figure for 10$ but they also have a fantastic understanding of proportion and simplifying details in a clear and understandable way https://t.co/WJnTlmqX13

@ShepGoesBlep thx man fantastic work as always

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@SolaraceVT "I should be able to make money off of your art but you should be charging me the same as someone who isnt going to make money off of your art!" is a dehumanizing take, yes. Its selfish af.

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@potion_brew people see the 2 prices and dont realize if there was only one price it would be the higher price, like ur not getting scammed this is the offer of a DISCOUNT

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@SolaraceVT i get that u dont want to spend extra, economy is tough and u got bills to pay, but so do artists they're people too. I think that viewpoint is really dehumanizing-there are absolutely situations where an artist should have different prices for commercial works

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@SolaraceVT ofc u can comm whoever you want, but also a lot of vgen artists will include commercial rights in vtuber aimed commissions, i dont personally charge commercial rights on any of my comms on main bc theyre all aimed at vtubers.

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@SolaraceVT just try to remember that most artists aren't asking a living wage for their art- most artists are hobbyists or students undercharging. commercial fees can be reasonable if there is an expectation that you may use that art in the pursuit of financial gain.

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@Mr_Indigo @liquidswaters I do think thats a part of it, like vgen wants clients to see the lowest base price first, but i dont think they actually let you filter by price at all

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@popathenaxx honestly idk its weird to think anyone would buy shorts editing for just personal use but what do i know

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@CrystySr theres a lot of mixed opinions- overall commercial fees are harsher on small creators that make less/nothing, so their projects are closer to personal license in use. Creators ACTUALLY making money off their work should be able to compensate the artist fairly

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@Jaini_vt So I think its really more that they are charging less for small creators, not charging more for large ones. Like if they have to set a commercial fee across the board its going to be the higher one, but its often just a favor for smaller creators to offer the smaller price

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@iamepick1 True! I agree but afaik vgen doesn't offer the feature to remove cost or discount based on licenses or features. I think its set up so the base price on vgen is the lowest price, and it only goes up from there with fees/etc

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@KeriArya So like i think ur missing my original point but its cool. If somethings bothering u besides my silly internet commentary to my 0 followers I genuinely hope your day gets better

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@gusherssteak7 @afitycantdraw nah ur right its a completely reasonable question. It would def be by the artist, but since the original product is shorts editing which have such a short lifespan on the algorithm i really doubt they would expect compensation if u grow that large.

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@KeriArya Also i don't have any beef at all with this particular person genuinely dgaf, but this post is very indicative of the sentiment of a large percentage of the vtuber community and I think its funny when theres also a lot of "artists should charge smaller creators less" posts lately

[PinkuChick @pinkuchick]

@KeriArya Isn't she?
