Comment on Gumroad no longer allows most NSFW art, leaving its adult creators panickedparent

Your argument lies on the assumption that consumers are too lazy to follow their favourite content creators to new payment avenues.

The reality is that a number of artists have already added crypto as an alternate and additional payment stream, and this includes comic artists and illustrators. This trend will probably continue as more platforms and payment processors make changes that are generally against the interests of their users (eg: the OP).

Can you show me one (1!) artist who makes a living wage off of crypto payments without any kind of ponzi-like speculative aspect? An artist who is just using crypto as means of payment AND actually getting paid with it. Just one example is enough.

I’ve already given you an example: Sloth Zine, an indie digital comic by illustrator Burka Bayram that is selling via crypto & tokenization. You can even read about his story here:

I'm interested to see this as well. I know some who do Patreon and crypto, but none are just crypto.
