Considering I was told I could not guest at panels at Offkai for pronoun jokes and being against racist policies, we all knew what kind of people were on staff there but it's still funny to see Conventions should be available to all vtubers giving your money to people who hate you will ensure nothing ever changes

Unpopular and controversial opinion, but as a person who has been on the internet for more than 10 years and as an artist, it's annoying how there's a rising trend to add a 'commercial fee' to everything that isn't commercial. Commercial fees are supposed to be for products sold en masse or used as physical advertisement like big posters, but people are adding it for things that shouldn't have it. Commercial fees for a vtuber model? You're drawing a design someone else made and it's for personal use. Commercial fees for a starting soon/ending soon stream? It's a display of work with credits. What's the point of commissioning a simple artwork then if you can't display it in any way without having to pay more fees? And I repeat, I'm an artist myself who got and gets commissioned a lot, but I will put a commercial fee exclusively if the person wants to profit by selling my artwork in mass. They get all the rights to use my work to display on streams, twitch banner, profile and shouldn't come with any extra commercial fees of sort. I will put a commercial fee on a vtuber model only if they plan to sell premade models. Hopefully I don't get lynched for expressing my own opinion, but wanting to commission someone and seeing 200% of the price extra if I want to display it on my stream is a horrid turn off, especially when up until 4 years ago this wasn't a thing I ever seen and many people still don't do that.
