Just to be perfectly clear. Process forums allow for and support artists looking to advertise their wares. Not everything has to be free. I look at it as a positive. People legitimately believe they can make some money for process-style content.

Can I afford to pay for most of it? No. But that's my problem. Artists deserve to be paid for their work. If it's not priced correctly or if the quality is not there, the market will dictate their success.

Consider: if you spent all that time and effort making something, it would be nice to get some sort of reward. Compliments are not enough in the real world.

If an artist makes something free, then obviously that is welcome but it is not something to be demanded.
