So, tell me which post of mine was the funniest. Which post had the best art. Then tell me how I was supposed to know, in advance, how those jokes were funny and how I was supposed to know, in advance, that people would enjoy the art.
Once you realize it's impossible for me to know in advance, then you'll be able to figure out why I can't purchase a vote.
I am not the judge of how good my own work is. In my opinion, only a self-righteous asshole would assume their art form is worthy enough to trend before people even have a chance to see or read it.
If my only option is to purchase a vote, then I must leave. Simple.
I didn't just grow a fanbase overnight. I didn't just get to where I am in a day. I had to struggle to get started and that only made me want to push harder and do a better job, hence, where I am today.
Those tiny profits offered by the dope dealers are piss compared to what you can earn the honest way.
It's not that bad for a newcomer to get more publicity with boost. Not for the sake of money but to get recognition. But spamming it won't do good for him probably ye.
If you went to the bank and took out $20, then gave it to yourself, would the bank give you a round of applause?
If you painted an awesome picture, then put a $20 price tag on it, then used the $20 bill you took from the bank to purchase your own art, would people applaud you? :)
But what if I pay 20$ for my picture to get to a huge gallery and get recognition from a lot of people who will then auction it starting from 20$ price? :D
Then you're stepping into the world and business model that helped create the starving artist.
The only thing about that gallery is that you get what you have paid for it back. So you get a free marketing and also a couple more customers.
You get that for free here with each post.
