Alright guys, how do we get this shit taken down? I've had enough of Trey and Matt's hypocrisy. It's time they faced the consequences. I've been calling Congress about this but to no luck
Should we start a petition? A website? A general boycott?

>All of my creative friends gave up after they got a full time job/married and had kids
>Not even doing it "on the side" they have outright said that they don't draw anymore
How do we avoid such a fate?

I just got a job at Walmart and am honestly considering taking the live-in-a-car pill
I used to have the will for these types of jobs when I was a teenager, now that I'm 30 I can't justify it anymore, especially not when my rent has gone up to 1.4k f

I unironically downsized my job and lifestyle.
I worked at some office for 13 an hour and could barely afford my studio apartment which went up to 1.4k, this isn't even a nice neighborhood. It's some dingy area surrounded by Haitians.
I pretty much had enough and downgraded to part time (25 hours a week) while renting a room for 700 a month with utilities paid. I just don't care anymore

Why do zoomers think every conflict means WW3 now?

For me?
It's because I was unable to realize my animation ambitions. I genuinely can't even look at a cartoon without being filled with unironic, seething rage. Meanwhile I have to wage at goddamn grocery stores all day every day to afford my shitty apartment that now costs $1.4k
If I can't be happy, I don't want any other artist to be either

I'm just so tired of working at grocery stores and retail. Been doing that for a total of a decade on and off. Despite having an accounting degree. I'm 30 now
Started a new job as a cashier and already want to quit.
Genuinely considering going homeless as an alternative

Which one is a worse pick
>Waiting to get good at art before starting any sort of project
or
>Waiting to become a popular internet artist before starting any sort of project
