>but how many do you miss out on?
The idea that piracy causes "lost sales" is a myth that persists, despite the fact that the MPAA and RIAA have consistently failed to be able to demonstrate proof of the concept's reality in courts for almost 30 years.

Your entire viewpoint collapses because you believe in the equivalent of morgellon's disease but for media.
Also, every single thing you listed proves the point of the anon you replied to when he wrote:
>Trying to beat pirates just makes it harder for actual supporters to access your works
You may be dismissing those things as "worth the slight inconvenience" but it signals a lot of bullshit, is annoying to the supporters, and takes up a fuckton of time in aggregate that you could be using to draw more or - importantly - relax.

nta, for the OP art, it's that Gloss took a big break at one point and when he came back his art was more "academic" and killed most of the soul in it. He was previously drawing highly expressive, well-composed works and then shifted to spindly-limbed dollike alien-proportioned figures with static poses in voids. Seen similar shit happen to others but not as dramatic as him.
Picrel is how he used to draw.
