    In general having more original creators here posting their own work consistently is a good thing if we want to grow the platform.

    Showing that it can be good to post here for creators will make more creators want to post here leading to an overall improvement in this community.

        Comic artists have a big interest in creating consistent quality content… Because it’s like their whole job…

        While not everyone has the same tastes, so some comics (like this one for example) aren’t something everyone wants to see, it’s better for the creator to be here posting it so the individual user can just block her and never see them again. With the creator posting them they all come from the same source vs with random people posting where you have to stamp out each individual one.

        One of the big problems people have with Lemmy atm is the lack of content. Convincing people that posting here is a good thing will pretty much entirely remove that. Plus comic makers very much have an interest in keeping the content QUALITY high as well so it won’t just be more posts… It’ll be more high quality posts.

          This is a link aggregation website. It doesn’t matter who posts the content. You’re thinking of OnlyFans.

          Which in this case is appropriate.

            That’s not responding to literally anything I said.

            You’re right. It doesn’t matter who.

            However, people who make and want to share content… Tend to make and share content…

            Something that’s good for a link aggregation site…

              It really isn’t. Self promotion is pretty terrible for a link aggregation site. You used to be limited in the ratio of what you could post between yours and other content. Then The Other Site decided it was social media. Now you want here to be social media too. No thanks 👍
