- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.

I think you just used a poor example. The fact is that the arts have been shared for millennia, and are an intrinsic part of the human experience. The community theater has survived every mode of production in human history, and will continue to do so. You may have to exchange some minor labor for a canvas, but the art itself is made to be shared. I have a hard time imagining any artist, no matter the skill, gate keeping their talents without the profit motive. There is no other reason. Art isn't like a commodity: More bread for me is less bread for you, but more art for me is also more art for you.
