Aurtists who whine about people saving and sharing their stuff while posting it on the public internet for everyone to see and save are drooling retards.
If you want to earn clout and get your ego sucked off by posting it publically on the internet, then you have to understand that people will save and share it around.
Even viewing art online is implicitly saving it due to browser caching.
They're basically an infinitely more impotent version of movie and music companies bitching about piracy.
Everything that's posted on the internet stays on it forever, that was common wisdom back in the day, nowadays after the normalfag invasion, this idea was widely abandoned and replaced with social media identity systems.
Most of them get smart and work on commissions and patreon donations which are the equivalent of free software groups being funded by donations, or freelance programmers being paid to work on free software.
Impotently hiding and paywalling your shit is the creative equivalent of proprietary software.
If you do not want to see your shit spread, then don't fucking post it, if you want to earn money, then get a fucking job as an illustrator.
