/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I honestly don't understand the purpose of these threads.
He is obviously good, better than all of /ic/.
He find the excellent format to sell his work — thing you better learn from him if you don't want to starve (also, while he was living in Russia and working for their companies he was pretty fucking poor because no one gives a shit about art there).
Every week he provides decent amount of content.
People want to give him money themselves, he doesn't force anybody to do that.
So what the fucking matter?
