Okay, so I can kinda understand why this kind of site doesn’t have advertising but just remember that advertising doesn’t always have to be for other websites but ads can also be used for commissions and I just thought it would be nice if we could also have commission ads as well since commissions are actually pretty important to artists because it’s a great way for them to get paid. Just thought I’d give you guys an idea that’ll help out artists a lot.
But this is just a recommended thing so you guys don’t “have” to do this if you don’t want.
We already did advertise on our site for an artist, and they paid us for it. That ad has since been removed on request of that artist. However, I don't think most artists would be willing to advertise on a site like this. If they do, however, they can approach us.
What I think works better as "advertising" is if every image has a properly listed source and artist. That way people can go directly to their pixiv, inkbunny, baraag, twitter, whatever accounts and find more information there if they are interested in commisioning something. I'm personally not a big fan of big banner ads... or honestly, ads of any kind.
