Niche fanbases are more loyal and willing to support their artists. Just look at furries.

50 million people want vanilla porn, 5 million artists are making vanilla porn, thus every artist on average only has 10 fans.
10,000 guys want to see fat goblina vore porn, only one guy is making it, that guy has 10,000 fans.
That's why.

That... isn't how the numbers work but you've got the right vibe of it at least.

People have different tastes and are willing to support those who provide services which cater to such tastes.
You might as well ask why there's so many different types of music around.

>That... isn't how the numbers work
Yeah, I know, people can be fans of more than one artist, actual numbers are bigger, etc. Just wanted to make a simple example: niches have less artists, thus access to a bigger share of an untapped market. No one's making garden gnome cumflation, so if you did you'd attract every single human into it, if any.

Along with what other people have said, I also think there is an element of passion and love there.
Some people making popular fotm fanart make it lewd because they want the likes and retreats
The ones making goblina vore KNOW many people will dislike it, but do their best because they personally love it and want to see more of this specific fetish in the world. So it passes through this filter of like, "people who want a quick and easy way to get clout" vs "people who are seriously in it because they love the work"

100% correct. This is actually the way to success. Gotta make what you love and others will see that you make it with passion as well.
It does mean resisting social conformity and exiting the hierarchies of "normal" social status, but who gives a fuck?

Same reason McDonalds is popular.
You're satisfying a core human need with something indulgent, decadent and tempting.

Any tips on drawing more creative or insane fetish art?
I find that swapping two character's heads is a quick way to make almost any situation more insane.

Use references from anywhere. Random collections of objects, particle effects from videogames. Scribble mindlessly and then try to pick out good shapes with a different color. Have a buddy to bounce ideas off of. Do ONE ASPECT to an insanely detailed degree and then see how else you can apply it, or in other areas. Humanize random characters and objects into fetish art, not just a normal design. Draw the youtubers and other e-celebs, this causes a lot of insanity. Draw random people's pfps. You don't even need to know who they are. Combine highly autistic ideas that are decidedly NOT fetish art with it - examples would be like fictitious military operations or niche videogames like spacechem, E.Y.E or Dominions. Invert your screen colors and then randomly browse youtube to find good shapes in the thumbnails. Look at irl extreme fetish communities like BDSM, bodymods, bodybuilders, sensory deprivation tank fetishists, etc and then remove the specific fetish while putting a different one in that kind of scenario. Pick some random b-list/niche fantasy/scifi setting from a movie or book, like ZARDOZ or the Elric Saga and derive how certain fetishes would work with its internal logic.

Pick a fetish and stick to that community like glue.
Just see what everyone is drawing, see the poses that work, the characters they draw, the narrative and motif they work with.
Also a great way to get comms

>niches have less artists, thus access to a bigger share of an untapped market
NSFW art in general have less artists believe it or not, you only compete with 18+ men + a few women that lean center or right, instead of all ages, genders and political spectrum like SFW.
There's also the fact that most artists lean left, the left hates male sexuality and sex sells, the ads industry know that since the late 1800 years.
