People spending nearly $2000 on a "meh" furry porn animation. What a world we live in.

 

That about sums it up.

So I've played the game before...

People are willing to spend that much on a very janky, awkward moving flash game?

Quit your job and start animating furry porn. That's where the REAL money is at.

I might as well just start writing smut stories and do bids for people to get written in...

Guys, it's actually way better than losers selling their lives away.

 

A bunch of people are pissed at him for basically bitching everyone out on e621 for complaining about his shitty animations and how fixed his "random" commission selection wheel is, so he was on hot water earlier this week...

And if you see in his journal, he claims that people are trolling the comments and deliberately overplaying the price or purposefully putting out bids that are way too high for anyone to compete with.

 

There's a really good chance that this is karma at hand.

 

Journal if you're curious. https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7308766/ Fender's comment about sums it up.

Also, important detail about that fucking YCH over there. That's a YCH for a game that comes with a fucking tutorial on how to insert your own fucking characters (and I'd hazard to guess the only discouraging factor is the fact that you need to know how to use basic photoshop, which one smart commenter pointed out, "you could probably commission a good artist for way less than what the YCH is costing".) And I quote: " Want commissions for us to draw your character into Bedplay directly? Let us know! "

I'd rather them spend what will not doubt end up $2000+ on some shitty piece of porn than spending the same amount to cram their shitty fetish into an actual video game made by actual human beings that I like.

I still can't believe that shit like Jesus.

This is a prime example of why YCHs are the worst thing to have happened to the furry community. it's really exploitative and just really bleh.

Furries are desperate for porn man. Also it's an easy, effort-free way for artists to build a viewerbase as well as an easy, effort-free way for uncreative perverts to jerk off to themselves, or at least some weird 'idealized' version of it.

It's a win-win really, I'm not gonna gonna be mad that some idiot is seriously willing to throw away all their money like that.

I wish my commissions or my YCHs got even half that :/.

I'm not surprised and really, it is their money (or lack thereof), but big things like these really do seem to exploit how desperate furries are more often than not

Do they? What if it turns out all the bidders are trolls?

Anyway, I think that maybe 'capping' a YCH sale to a sensible level would be smart, and that the auction would end if this level was met.

The moans in his animations sound so... bad.

That 1800$ would be about a year of living without work and not even that poorly. I might have to pick up animating. :V

Wow, where do you live?

lol

depends. I think this one is because people know that furries will pay ridiculous sums of money for porn. but if it turns out that all the bidders are trolls then that would just be hilarious. the whole situation is a joke really. when the bids hit $500 I knew it couldn't end well lol

it kind of reminds me of that raffle RedRusker (I think that's who it was) held a few years ago for a million dollars in art that literally broke FA

Ychs aren't really great at building a viewer base. Small artists with few fews don't really get many more watchers with YCH's and up generally not benefiting the artist that much.  Sides there are much less expensive ways of getting porn. Like most all the time someone does a YCH you could just buy a commission from them for about half the price, which is something i have done before. Or just find a similar artist and commission them. YCH's primary function is to gouge people of their money since so few people know how to actually use auctions and for artist to raise the price of their commissions without actually doing that.

they have their place much like all the other gimmicky things FA artists do. but I also think they're worth more if there's incentive to them. like if the auction reaches X amount of dollars I'll do this piece for you, maybe make it more detailed (i.e. more shading, etc.) plus add an extra piece of art to the deal to make this worth your money. or if you set an autobuy price.

I think that only makes them fair

I think the YCH that Lazer linked is far worse than the topic one.

  • It actually closed successfully at $1325. 
  • There's nothing unique about it; it's ordinary furry porn.
  • At fandom pricing, you could get the dogcock Sistine Chapel for $1325 from a highly skilled artist

If any forum could meet that challenge, it is this one.

Worked for me a long time ago.

1. Draw generic vaguely "sexy" pose

2. Make it a "free" raffle for watchers

3. Suddenly a bunch of people are asking for Sonic porn

I was a horrible, horrible slut...but hey watchers! Truly the most important thing in life.

How about just a recreation of 'Custer's Revenge' on the Atari 2600 but with custard? I mean all things considering it could be way worse.

Free raffles are very different from YCHs. I'm talking about the YCH auctions. Also the auto buy thing is pretty silly as well since a lot of time people will autobuy it on the first day just making it a way more expensive commission in the case of most artists. The people also do this which baffles me; "hmm i could wait and maybe get this for cheaper so long as i wait a couple days, or i could just pay twice their commission price to buy this right now"

People really want porn.

i can understand that since i am most likely one of those people, but i'm at least smart about it and get a whole bunch of different pics. the quantity well outweighs the "quality" of one super expensive YCH. i say quality in quotations because there are a lot of good cheap artists out there and the best may be good but None of that furry porn is really worth that much. I just really dislike YCH auctions cause they are super exploitative and huge ripoffs.

How could you ever say that about yourself!??

It's okay, I think it's cute ;3

 

After going through my paypal activity history i can definitely say that, not that it's too much of a bad thing since i sort of treat it as the money i would have spent on video games instead. though i binge on games way more than most people so i buy less games as well. and i get told the cute thing a lot which i like :3

I wish I had the money to splurge on weird porn of animal people. Someday man, I'll be livin' the dream.

I actually like buying YCH's because I'm guaranteed to get something I like, and get it faster than a regular commission since the sketch phase is already done and approved. I'd rather pay $100 on something that'll get done in a week than $80 that's going to take two months. It helps that I have spare cash to throw away, I guess. 

For my own YCH's, I just do flat sales now instead of auctions. It's quick and easy, and the buyer can decide if it's worth it for them or not without fighting someone else for it.

Is it any surprise that rich people will spend more on something than "the rest of us?" My rich family members don't even look at the prices on things, they just pick up what they like, when they like it. It doesn't matter if it's $10 or $100, or even $1,000 sometimes.

One commenter said he had to work three months to get that $1,800; my uncle would have to work about a day. To put that in perspective, $1,800 to him is worth around $90 to the average person. So be careful before you judge.

I guess the lesson we can take from this is, do things for rich people, not for broke furries.

I dunno, broke furries appear to be a veritable font of weath if your dongs manage to become popular enough.

Or, uh, in this case, uh, flash animation tweens on static images drawn by other people.

I just had a thought. I'm going to share this thought with you, Internet.

Isn't this a wise investment for a lonely person, or someone who wants to engage more in sexual roleplay? The buyer is getting himself a lot of exposure; he'll probably be on thousands of peoples' hard drives. When seeing him on the Internet, they will say to themselves, "Oh, yeah, I've taken that to the bone zone before."

Quite a few manimals became popufur off of commissioned work. You get pretty well-known off a couple of comics, Flash animations, or other popular materials. People know the names of popular commissioners, and often watch them themselves just to view their commissioned work. It's almost like making an investment into the fandom. You provide them with something they enjoy, your character, and they provide you with a sense of identity and community.

There are clearly cheaper ways of propelling your fursona to furry sex stardom than a thousand dollar animation.

Of course, all you gotta do is commission as many popular people as possible. It's quantity, not quality.

Well "quality".

Also I think that Jcstinks has missed a point, which is that most people think that deriving your sense of identity and community from online porn is probably not wise anyway.

Meh. What other people spend their money on isn't my business. If they want to throw it at a Flash animation, who am I to judge? I do think it's fairly ridiculous, since the bloody template files are right there. You have them. Right there. You can probably commission someone for 40 bucks to do that for you, and as an added bonus, you don't even have to share it with anyone else!

So... Yeah. Fun publicity, that.
